NOTICE: Rope Kit Upgrade

There has been an upgrade to Globestock's fall arrest and load arrest rope kits. We are switching from a shock absorber spring to a rubber stopper (see picture).

There are number of reasons for making the upgrade:

  • Shock impact has less recoil, which means there is now little to no chance of the pawls inadvertently locking in place if the rope is accidentally released.
  • The rubber is less reactive and will fare better in corrosive environments than the plated steel spring.
  • More durable and less chance of distorting and damaging if the unit is subjected to severe impact.
  • Ergonomically superior with no chance of sharp edges.

The product upgrade is already in effect. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

NOTICE: CHANGES TO FALL ARREST CONNECTORS

We’re pleased to announce that we will soon be upgrading our G.Saver and G.Stop fall arresters to be ANSI certified. Doing so will enable the products to be sold in the USA.

As part of the upgrade we are required to change the type of connector that is fitted to the end of the product’s rope. Currently, a twist lock karabiner is utilised. However, this will soon be changed to a snap-hook style connector, with locking gate. The new style connectors will also be certified to EN362 and feature a load indicator. Please see the below images for illustration.

The change will apply to all G.Saver and G.Stop products.

Please contact us if you have any questions.
