About the rope

TENDON Static 9.0 B is a static rope with low elongation and high static strength, intended mainly for work at height and for securing people above open space. As the diameter of the rope increases, so does its strength.

A type B rope has lower parameters than type A ropes, for example a minimum strength of 18 kN. It therefore requires more care in use and is used above all where the weight of the rope is the limiting factor.

Lifespan and storage

Storage time: the maximum storage time of an unused rope is up to 5 years, plus a service life of up to 10 years.

Actual lifespan: depends on how often and how hard the rope is used. External influences and mechanical loading gradually reduce the static and dynamic performance of a static rope.

Inspection and safety

Regular inspection: the rope must be checked at least once a year by the manufacturer or by a person authorised by the manufacturer, and the inspection must be recorded in the record card.

Check before use: the rope must be checked before every use and if there is any doubt about its safety it must be withdrawn from use immediately.

Tracer tape: a tracer tape runs inside the rope along its whole length, carrying the manufacturer's mark, the rope type, the standard number, the year of manufacture and the material the rope is made from.
