Sterling Rope has been designing and building the best
life-safety rope and equipment for the fire service for over 20 years, right
here in the U.S., so they have both the industry experience and technical
know-how to ensure your safety on-scene. When things get dicey and escape
becomes paramount, you’re going to need a reliable tool that you can trust your
personal safety with: The new Sterling
Rope Lightning GT Anchor Hook represents the next generation of escape
anchors, proving itself to be the most trustworthy escape connection available.
Here’s why:
Designed with input from top trainers and front-line firefighters, the Sterling
Rope Lightning GT Anchor Hook (“GT” stands for “Gated Technology”) has
undergone extensive testing, both in the lab and in the field.
Precision-machined from 7,000-Series Aluminum, the Sterling Rope Lightning GT
Anchor Hook is engineered with a spring-loaded gate, which results in the
ultimate in fast, secure anchor connections.
Its hook is UL-Classified to NFPA 1983 as an escape anchor,
and it is capable of holding loads up to 3,000 pounds at the tip. When utilized
as a system in conjunction with one of its descendents – be it either the F4 or
the newer FCX – and any Sterling Fire Escape Rope, the Sterling Rope Lightning
GT Anchor Hook offers the most lightweight, versatile, and certified escape
system available.
If a substantial object is available for anchoring, the
escape rope can be passed through the Sterling Rope Lightning GT Anchor Hook’s
slot, and then around the tip to create a secure connection. Once the anchor
connection is secured, you can make your exit. If a remote anchor is not
immediately available, its unique design helps to remove the guesswork from the
critical step of creating a failsafe anchor, thanks to its hitching slot or innovative
wire gate, whichever is most useful. Some additional specs include the
following:
- MBS rating: 3,035 pounds
- MSB rating: 13.5 Kilonewtons
- Weight: 7.7 ounces
