APEX FLEX PPE KIT

The APEX FLEX PPE KIT is a complete kit for SRT climbing with the Rope Wrench from ISC. The kit offers adjustable friction, easy mid-line attachment, and full PPE certification for optimal performance and safety in work climbing.

The first ISC Rope Wrench was launched in 2013 and revolutionized stationary rope climbing (SRT), becoming the most popular SRT system globally. The APEX FLEX PPE KIT builds upon the original's performance with additional functionality, convenience, and unmatched ISC quality.

Features

• Adjustable Cam: Choose from clearly marked friction settings tailored to rope diameter and rope type. Adjustment takes less than 5 seconds – press the spring-loaded button, open the side plate, pull out the cam, rotate, and close. No tools or loose parts are needed.
• Swiveling Side Plate: Quick and easy mid-line attachment, even with gloves. Double-locking with an audible "click" for confirmation and added security.
• Interchangeable Tether: Change the tether without altering the friction setting.
• Squirrel FLEX Tether: Made from high-quality kernmantle rope with an advanced polymer coating for an optimal balance of stiffness and flexibility in SRT climbing.
• Spliced Eyes: Tightly fitted for minimal slack, secure carabiner attachment, and optimal connection to the Rope Wrench.
• Contrast Stitching: Easy inspection thanks to visible contrast stitching.
• Full PPE Certification: Third-party tested and certified according to PPE Regulation 2016/425 for use in accordance with the instruction manual.
