The Hexaring by Hexarope is a robust friction ring available in various sizes. It is specifically designed for arborists and can be used to assist with controlled lowering and rigging during pruning and tree removal operations.
This is the Hexaring in size L. It has a minimum breaking strength (MBS) of 300 kN and a maximum working load of 60 kN. The recommended maximum rope diameter is 16 mm. The central hole of the Hexaring has a diameter of 51 mm. Its overall dimensions are 115x64x51mm, with a total weight of 400 grams.
When used correctly, the Hexaring helps regulate descent speed by generating friction, reducing dynamic loads. This leads to less wear on lowering lines and enhances overall safety.
The body of the Hexaring is made from 7075-T6 aluminium and treated with a hard anodized finish, providing increased resistance to wear, corrosion, and the harsh conditions arborists often face. The Hexaring has a bend radius factor of 4, which hits the sweet spot between friction and rope wear. Its compact size and lightweight construction make it easy to transport and quick to deploy on the job.
