Buying guide
Choosing a rope grab
Match the grab to the rope or lanyard diameter it will run on, and check whether it is approved for work positioning, fall arrest or both. Lanyard adjusters like the Petzl Micrograb are made for specific lanyard setups. Replacement cams and springs keep devices like the ART Positioner working. Inspect cams for wear and debris before every climb, and use each device only as its manufacturer intended.
Care and parts
Rope grabs rely on a cam and spring to bite the rope cleanly. Sawdust, sap and grit can pack into the cam teeth and reduce grip, so brush them clean regularly. Replacement cams, such as those for the ART Positioner, keep a good device in service longer. Retire any rope grab with a cracked body, worn cam or weak spring. When adjusting a lanyard under load, move smoothly and keep your hands clear of the cam.
Keep the device instructions in your kit so anyone inspecting it knows the approved uses and limits.
Common questions
Can a rope grab be used as my main climbing device?
Only if the manufacturer approves it for that use. Most rope grabs sold for arborists are for lanyard adjustment and positioning.
