The Saveking® can be used for the same safety tasks as normal 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm safety lines as it contains a loop that is fixed with a thrust bearing that works like an integrated shock absorber.
The Saveking® is the only security rope with an integral brake that is compliant with DGUV regulation 17. Compared to conventional security ropes, using the Saveking® offers many advantages.
Considerably lower impulse forces
Due to the special construction of the Saveking®, the linear momentum of falling equipment is reduced and the shock absorbed forces are therefore more gentle at the drop point for the secured device.
Lower rope diameters
By reducing the energy of the potential drop, thinner rope diameters can be used than with conventional security ropes. This means that you need only three different diameters to cover all weights to 60 kg.
Comparison between Saveking® security ropes to standard security ropes according to the current DIN 56927:
Saveking® 3 mm (20 kg) = standard security rope 5-6 mm
Saveking® 4 mm (40 kg) = standard security rope 7-8 mm
Saveking® 5 mm (60 kg) = standard security rope 8-10 mm
Practical colour marking for quick and safe control
The Saveking® has a colour marking at the braking clamp which indicates that the rope is in good condition. If the loop with the brake clamp tightens – in the event of a falling load - this colour marking is destroyed.
Checking if the Saveking® is still good is therefore quick and easy using the colour marking.
A badge on the Saveking® informs about all the identifications which are provided by the current DGUV regulation 17. In addition to the actual use (of the security rope), these notes contain details about the diameter of the steel wire-cables used and the maximum weight of the device that can be secured, as well as the year of production, on the manufacturer and the batch number.
