ART Rope Guide 2010 Cocoon 5

ART Rope Guide 2010 Cocoon 5 is a patented friction saver that combines extremely low weight, high safety, and optimal rope feeding for arborist climbing. The unique TunnelRing design with integrated rope increases the breaking load to approx. 24 kN, protects the rope, and offers double the safety compared to traditional rings.

The ART Rope Guide 2010 Cocoon 5 builds on the best features of previous models with groundbreaking innovations: an ultra-light construction (approx. 520 g for 150 cm), higher load capacity, and exceptional safety. The TunnelRing concept uses only 50% of the weight of a solid ring but achieves comparable strength and higher safety. The rope inside the ring is perfectly protected, and the rope-ring symbiosis mutually increases the breaking load. The runner crosses both the ring and the loop for maximum safety. The ZipAbsorber 1 integrated shock absorber is activated at 4 kN (approx. 900 lbs) to minimize shock loads. The Cocoon pulley provides silky-smooth rope feeding, perfect for ropes up to 13 mm. Easy manual installation, remote retrieval with DoubleSnapper 3. Service life: 10 years for metal parts, 5 years for textile parts.
