Ropes can wear out quickly on sharp edges. Protector—reliable rope protection—solves this problem. The Beal Protector rope edge protector, now in its latest version known as Protector II, is a professional accessory designed to effectively protect ropes from abrasion, cuts, and rapid wear on sharp or rough edges. Designed by the renowned French brand Beal, it is an indispensable piece of equipment for rope access, work at heights, arboriculture, rescue operations, and caving.
The design features a highly durable, two-layer material that neutralizes so-called “creep friction” and protects the structure of the sheath and core. Thanks to its metal clip fastener, the protector can be quickly attached at any point, even with one hand.
Key features of the Beal Protector rope protector:
- Dual-layer protection: Durable PVC material protects against friction from concrete, rock, or metal structures.
- Integrated clamp (alligator clip): Allows the protector to be securely locked onto the rope at a specific, chosen location. It enables quick installation on a live rope and prevents the rope from slipping out of the sleeve.
- One-handed operation: The design allows for easy handling of the protector while suspended in a harness.
- Lightweight and compact: Its low weight does not add extra load to gear being transported to heights.
