A KICK PLATE EDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The Edge

Maintenance & Care

Wash The Edge with warm soap & water and keep away from sources of high heat and chemical contamination.

Weight

The Edge is light to carry on your harness, thus reducing the affects of fatigue in the physically demanding work arenas of Rope Access & Rope Rescue.

Proper Use

The Edge and all of its parts shall never be considered, or used as an anchoring device. Only add loads of 150kG or less to ropes or slings rigged through The Edge. Be sure to place The Edge on a robust section of kick-plate with limited to no flex or movement. And always inspect the kick-plates suitability for the intended application..

The Edge is designed for use on the varying sizes & depths of “Kick-Plate” and other structural plate metal found on industrial & commercial work sites.

During the common practice of rigging steel slings over kick-plate to capture the rated structural steel work below, they are often kinked & damaged due to the abrupt turning of the sling over the kick plate… Kinking introduces a significant loss of strength as well as the costly and regular need for replacement when damaged.

The Edge offers an increased bend radius for the sling rest upon and retain the full strength of the wire ropes rating..

In Industrial Rope Access, all Ropes shall be rigged in such a way so as to avoid contact with potential hot, sharp or abrasive surfaces that threaten the integrity of the life supporting Rope Access system.
