Rocker Back-up/Fall Arrest Device
The Rocker RP500 is a versatile and convenient mid-line attachment fall arrest device that allows for hands-free use as a self-tailing device while traversing up or down the rope. It features a 'thumbcatch' that can be engaged to 'park' the device on the rope, allowing the user to easily adjust its position without fear of it sliding down uncontrollably. It is recommended for use without a textile shock absorber for optimal functionality.
