TT TRSMIMA Steel Wire Core Flipline – 8ft Arborist Fall Protection Lanyard Kit

Overview

Meet the TT TRSMIMA Steel Wire Core Flipline, an 8-foot fall-protection lanyard designed for arborists and tree climbers. The core is a 1/2-inch galvanized steel cable with 7x19 strands, engineered to stay rigid as you work toward the next perch. With a maximum breaking strength of 22.6 kN (about 5,000 lbs), this flipline offers a solid safety margin when paired with a compatible harness and hip D-rings.

Outwardly, a high-visibility neon polyester overwrap sits over the steel core, delivering a confident grip and easy handling in varying light. The combination of nylon, polyester, and aviation-grade components keeps the rope flexible while standing up to daily use in outdoor settings.

Key components and benefits

• Galvanized steel wire rope: 1/2 inch diameter (≈13.26 mm), 7x19 strands; inner core improves stability; breaking strength up to 22.6 kN (5000 lbs); designed to work with a hip D-ring harness.
• Swivel steel hook: alloy forged, automatic lock, aviation aluminum housing; 360-degree swivel reduces line twist; robust pull capacity up to 44 kN during use.
• Polyester fiber coating: neon overwrap improves grip, visibility, and handling; tough and lightweight; reduces snagging while staying durable.
• D-ring triple-lock carabiner: forged steel with 3,600 lb gate strength and 5,000 lb breaking strength; self-locking gate supports one-handed operation; weather- and sun-exposure resistant.
• Rope grab adjuster: fixed-pin aluminum design; 12 mm rope diameter; 15 kN tensile capacity; anti-skid and corrosion-resistant; smooth sliding for quick adjustment.
• Usage notes: this flipline is a climb aid that hooks to one side of your harness, wraps around the tree, and connects to the opposite side; shorten as the tree narrows; practice at low heights first.
• Wide application: suitable for tree climbing, work positioning, hiking, and rescue scenarios at height; avoid electrical hazards and ensure trained use.

How to use and safety considerations

Attach the flipline to your harness’ hip D-rings, loop around the tree, and connect to the other D-ring. Move upward, adjusting the loop length by sliding the line forward. The design emphasizes grip and control, while the components provide a robust, modular feel for daily use. Always follow local safety guidelines and ensure proper training before use.
