Engineering for Operational Safety and Longevity
In the rope access industry, equipment integrity is paramount. According to the latest IRATA Work at Height Safety Analysis, equipment failure remains a critical risk factor, with abrasion being a primary driver of rope degradation. Our flagship Tutus Static is engineered with a high-tenacity polyamide (Nylon) 32-plait cover that maximizes the sheath-to-core ratio.
This specific construction provides superior resistance to the mechanical abrasion encountered when working against abrasive steel or concrete surfaces, significantly extending the rope’s service life. Furthermore, our ropes are designed for smooth interaction with industry-standard descenders and back-up devices, ensuring consistent braking and reducing the “judder” that can lead to technician fatigue.
Specialist Protection for Invisible Hazards
Standard inspection protocols can sometimes miss the microscopic damage caused by chemical exposure or extreme thermal friction. English Braids addresses these “invisible” risks through specialized technical solutions:
Tutus Acid Alert: Since even brief exposure to high-concentration acids can compromise a rope’s tensile strength by over 25% without visible damage, this rope features a permanent color-change indicator. It provides a definitive visual signal that the line is no longer safe for use.
Tutus Firex: Designed for high-friction environments, this rope utilizes a Technora®/Nylon blended cover. This hybrid construction dramatically increases abrasion resistance and heat stability, protecting the core during high-speed descents or rescue scenarios where standard covers may melt or glaze.
Inspection & Traceability: Following WAHSA (Working at Height Safety Association) guidelines, every English Braids safety rope features full batch traceability and an internal ID marker. This ensures that procurement teams can manage rigorous six-monthly inspection cycles with absolute data confidence.
