Rope Grabs – The Gold Standard in Fall‑Protection

When you’re working at height, there’s no room for compromise. Radmore & Tucker’s rope grabs and lifelines give you the confidence to move up and down vertical lines with the same ease as a stroll in the park—only safer.

Our rope grabs are engineered from high‑grade alloy steel, heat‑treated for maximum tensile strength, and finished with corrosion‑resistant coatings that laugh at rain, grit and the occasional stray hammer blow. Every unit is rigorously tested against BS EN 795 standards, so you can trust they’ll hold firm when it matters most.

Why choose Radmore & Tucker?

  • Unrivalled reliability – Zero‑play mechanisms that lock instantly on any sudden load.
  • Long‑lasting durability – Built to survive the harshest construction sites and the toughest garden maintenance jobs.
  • Peace of mind – Our 10‑year warranty covers wear, corrosion and mechanical failure, giving you a safety net as solid as the grab itself.

Whether you’re a professional roofer, a tree‑surgeon, or a DIY enthusiast tackling a lofty shed roof, our rope grabs keep you tethered to safety without slowing you down. Let us handle the protection so you can focus on getting the job done—quickly, cleanly and safely.

The Rope‑Grab Collection – Tailored for Every Task

1. Manual Rope Grabs – Classic Control at Your Fingertips

Our manual rope grabs feature a robust metal hand trigger that you engage with a simple squeeze. Once released, the grab automatically clamps onto the lifeline, arresting any unexpected descent. Perfect for:

  • Roofers and scaffold workers who need instant, hands‑on control.
  • Maintenance crews requiring quick release after each ascent.

Key benefits include a low‑profile design that won’t snag on obstacles and an ergonomic trigger that works comfortably even with gloves on.

2. Trailing Rope Grabs – Hands‑Free Ascension

If you prefer to keep your hands free for tools, our trailing rope grabs are the answer. They glide smoothly along the lifeline as you move, only locking when a sudden jerk or fall occurs. Ideal for:

  • Tree surgeons who need both mobility and safety.
  • Industrial cleaners working on vertical tanks or silos.

The self‑locking mechanism activates within milliseconds, meeting the stringent BS EN 795:2009 performance criteria for rapid arrest forces.

3. Knot‑Free Rope Grabs – Simplicity Meets Strength

For projects where metal components are a liability—such as in corrosive environments—we offer rope grabs that rely on advanced polymer‑based “knot‑free” technology. These devices use high‑strength fibre composites to wrap and lock around the rope, delivering:

  • Zero corrosion risk – Ideal for coastal or chemical sites.
  • Lightweight handling – Reduces fatigue during long climbs.

Despite their sleek appearance, they provide the same arrest forces as traditional steel grabs, validated by independent third‑party testing.
