ART Rope Guide 2010 Cocoon 5

The RopeGuide 2012 Cocoon 5 combines the best properties of his predecessors with the thrilling results of current advancements: he is very light, can be charged even more and is exceedingly safe. His so-called TunnelRing is unique. Sharing only 50 % of the weight of a massive ring, the TunnelRing concept achieves comparable resistance and higher safety simultaneously. This is a typical ARTifice: TunnelRing instead of a massive ring. The internal rope is protected by the ring. Amazing but true: the rope raises the breaking load of the ring and vice versa – an ingenious symbiosis. Less weight, higher rupture load, and doubled safety, since the runner leading to the pulley crosses the ring AND the loop as well. The service life of RopeGuides' metal parts is 10 years!
