The MIO Rope Grab is an excellent rescue belay device
to catch either a one or two person NFPA load.

The MIO was originally designed as an industrial fall arrest system. Under test, however, the MIO Rope Grab has proven to be an excellent rescue belay device. In testing, the MIO Rope Grab took a load greater than 600 pounds with a fall factor of 1 causing no visible or internal damage to the 1/2" static kernmantle rope it was placed on. The MIO Rope Grab also arrested the fall under OSHA specifications for an industrial fall arrest, again bringing the load to rest with no visible or internal damage to the rope.

PLEASE NOTE: Testing indicates that not all static kernmantle rope has the same results in the MIO Rope Grab tests. Please check with your rope manufacturer to verify its strength BEFORE your company puts the MIO Rope Grab into service.
