The TWIST chest ascender rope access device has profiled attachment points and slim line design, ensuring it sits flat against the chest of the user.

The ergonomic catch allows single-handed operation.

Detach-ability creates greater flexibility of use and an economic replacement option.

The materials and design used in construction have been selected to provide high strength and durability needed for industrial applications.

Each TWIST chest ascender rope access device is individually marked for traceability and all parts are visible for easy inspection and maintenance.

TWIST chest ascender rope access device can be used with combination harness or with separate sit & chest harness.

When tested on new Tectra 11 mm low stretch rope, our X-Cam ascenders were found to be 25% stronger than their most popular sharp toothed competitor, with average breaking loads up to 675 kg for X-Cams versus 535 kg for the established design.

X-Cam has a more advanced tooth design than traditional cams and is more suitable for industrial applications. It does not pluck the rope, reducing rate of rope wear.

X-Cam™ design gives increased performance over traditional sharp tooth design

  • Cam exerts considerable grip on rope after sheath has broken
  • The Cam doesn’t pluck rope
  • Easy to remove from rope if accidentally jammed into knot
