Throwing down a smaller rope may not seem like a good idea but what are you going to do when you have to rig a pedestal water tank where you need to climb up the center tube or a tower that has 6 carriers below you and you can't make a straight climb? My statement comes from 30 years of

Scott, in our area a throw rope is most important. 90% of all my towers are grain legs with cages and some go up to one level and around to another ladder on another area. Pulling a rope just doesn't work. Steve Barnes General Manager PCS-WIN/RC-WiFihttp://www.rcwifi.com/ From:

Yeah, some of them. One of them that I have equipment on about 10 miles south of Steve is a 200' leg. Elevator with 5 stops. Somethings do not fit in the elevator, so you have to take up the rope and pull the gear up. If the elevator wasn't there, the ladder has 6 platforms and at each one

Personally... I use rope that is NFPA rated for lifelines and controlled descent. Can't beat the stringent requirements of the NFPA. There are other ropes for safety such as rope grab lines when descending or using window washing rigs, etc. But in-house we only use NFPA rated lines. They

Its not the only thing. The issue is there is a TON of Chinese rope on the market with all kinds of claims. A good portion of it is crap. It also depends on what the application is. If you are using it in a rope grab type situation where you are climbing or descending on a static line then
