Rescue Ropes

BEAL ROPES AND HARNESSES NOW HAVE A DNA CODE

BEAL has not waited for regulation to give its ropes and harnesses a system of guaranteed traceability for life, and an infallible information key to its products. The first generation of ropes and harnesses integrating this service has been born. In effect, each product posesses a unique individual number from its manufacture which allows identification at any time. It’s partly its DNA code, we have thus baptised this identification system for Identification Number.

10,4 mm RESCUE • Semi-static type B rope perfectly adapted to rescue from great height. • The only semi-static rope which stays supple after use and wear, making it easy to knot as and when required in rescue manoeuvres. • Very good abrasion resistance, thanks to a very thick sheath. • Vibrant colour makes it easy to see.	12,5 mm ERGO Designed for the various operational requirements of the fire service, conforms to the standard for civil security NIT no. 129-83-92 and also to EN 1891.

11 mm HOTLINE Semi-static rope which allows access to areas with raised temperatures or in the presence of certain chemical products. The aramide part of the rope’s sheath can withstand limited exposure at up to 300°C. Its strength of 820kg may give residual security should the polyamide content melt. Its strength deteriorates rapidly above 500°C.
