Workers who climb or descend along vertical lifelines need fall-protection equipment that moves with them while maintaining a secure connection. A guided rope grab allows controlled movement on the lifeline and is designed to arrest a fall if sudden downward movement occurs. PN2000A(ME) is a Guided Fall Arrester made from galvanized steel for professional work-at-height applications. The system uses an RG01 openable rope grab, a PN112(C) steel screw-locking karabiner, and a compatible 14 mm to 16 mm polyamide twisted anchorage line.

The openable design allows the rope grab to be attached or removed at different points along the lifeline. During normal climbing or descending, it moves along the rope while maintaining controlled contact. Nassguard supplies the Guided Fall Arrester across Qatar and Doha for construction, industrial maintenance, utilities, tower work, vertical access and other professional work-at-height applications.

What is PN2000A Guided Fall Arrester?

PN2000A is a guided-type fall arrester designed to operate on a flexible vertical anchorage line. Its main component is the RG01 galvanized steel rope grab. Unlike a non-openable rope grab, the RG01 opens so workers can install it at a suitable point on the approved lifeline without threading the entire rope through the device. The rope grab works with polyamide twisted rope between 14 mm and 16 mm in diameter. As the worker moves vertically, the device travels along the rope and provides controlled movement.

The system also includes a PN112(C) steel screw-locking karabiner as its attachment element. This connector links the rope grab to compatible fall-protection equipment. If a fall occurs, the Rope Fall Arrester grips the anchorage line and stops uncontrolled downward movement. KARAM specifically recommends using the rope grab only with its approved 14 mm or 16 mm polyamide anchorage line because the system has undergone testing and certification in that combination.

Conclusion

The RG01 galvanized steel rope grab has an openable construction, allowing trained users to install or remove the device at an appropriate point along the approved anchorage line. This design makes the system convenient for jobs where workers need to move between different vertical access areas. PN2000A works with 14 mm to 16 mm polyamide twisted rope and uses a PN112(C) steel screw-locking karabiner as the attachment element. During normal movement, the Guided Fall Arrester travels along the rope as the worker climbs or descends. If sudden downward movement occurs, the device grips the lifeline and arrests the fall.

Workers must use the fall arrester only with the approved anchorage line. KARAM specifically states that the certified performance applies to the tested rope-grab and polyamide-rope combination.
