These wire anchor strops from Lyon can be used to keep you safe while working at height or during emergency rescues.

As you can see, the wire anchor strops have swaged thimble eyes at each end and are covered in a polyester reinforced PVC sleeve to protect the wire. They also have heat shrink over the swage to protect it and increase its overall lifespan. Lyon has really gone out of their way to ensure these wire anchor strops will keep you safe for years to come!
We offer these wire anchor strops in different lengths and colours. The different colours help you identify strops of different lengths and easily work out whose is whose when you’re working or climbing as part of a team!
