A901 Aluminium Alloy Descender for 9-12 mm Rope

A901 is built around an aluminium alloy frame and is specified for ropes of 9 to 12 mm diameter. The photographs show a handle-operated design of the kind used in rope access, in which the rope runs around internal friction surfaces and the operator regulates speed with the handle and brake hand. The listed breaking strength is 2 kN; buyers should read this figure in the context of the full product documentation and their own test programme rather than compare it with connector ratings.

Handle-operated descenders are used by rope access technicians, industrial rescue teams and maintenance crews on structures where controlled descent and the ability to stop and work in position are required. They are normally used on a working line together with a separate back-up device on a safety line.

When requesting a quotation, specify the rope type and diameter, the required standard for the target market and any colour or marking requirements. Power Honour can manufacture A901 for OEM and private-label programmes, or adapt components to a customer drawing.
