RR-409 RP1 Semi-Static Kernmantle Rope 11 mm 50 m
Kernmantle Ropes & Rope-Access Accessories (EN 1891)

The PGTEC RR-409 RP1 is an 11 mm semi-static kernmantle rope certified to EN 1891 type A, built as the standard work rope for professional rope-access teams that need low stretch, durable handling and consistent compatibility with descenders, ascenders and rescue pulleys. The rope combines a high-strength parallel polyamide core with a tight, abrasion-resistant navy polyester sheath, delivering a minimum breaking strength above 22 kN while keeping elongation low enough for precise work positioning. The navy sheath is treated to resist UV, mildew and light abrasion so that the rope stays supple and visible over months of facade, tower and steel-structure use, and the 50 m length covers a full rope-access lowering from typical multi-storey buildings. The RP1 is the designated partner rope for the PGTEC RD1, RD2, RD3 and RD4 descenders, the RS2 rescue haul system and the RP3 progress-capture pulley set, and it is suppled here as a neat hand-coil with a tied bundle and a stainless carabiner-ready end. PGTEC recommends a documented pre-use inspection, retirement on visible sheath damage or any fall event, and storage away from chemicals, sharp edges and direct sunlight. The RP1 is used by window-cleaning contractors, rope-access inspection firms, wind-turbine service teams and fire-rescue rope groups; it carries a serial-number traceability tag on every coil and is backed by a three-year manufacturer warranty for ropes used under normal professional duty.
