Petzl FLOW 11.8mm Climbing Rope – Lightweight & Flexible for Arborists
The Petzl FLOW 11.8mm Climbing Rope is a versatile and lightweight rope designed for professional arborists. With a small 11.8mm diameter, this rope offers exceptional flexibility, making ascents, descents, and positioning smoother and more controlled. Its EverFlex technology maintains consistent handling over time, even in challenging conditions.
The low stretch and durable polyester sheath enhance efficiency and control, ensuring seamless movement through climbing devices such as ZIGZAG and ZIGZAG PLUS mechanical Prusiks. Whether you’re working in wet, dry, or dirty environments, this rope continues to perform reliably.
Reliable Performance & Smooth Handling
The Petzl FLOW Rope is engineered for smooth movement through the canopy. Its flexible construction improves control, allowing arborists to work with precision at height. Unlike bulkier ropes, this compact and lightweight design reduces fatigue during extended climbs.
The polyester double weave construction resists abrasion and wear, ensuring the rope remains reliable and durable over time. Its factory-spliced termination prevents fraying and allows effortless passage through climbing devices, making setup and retrieval easier.
Versatile for Climbing & Rigging
This rope is ideal for both single and doubled rope climbing techniques. It provides a balance of strength and flexibility, making it suitable for a wide range of climbing systems. Whether using mechanical devices or traditional friction hitches, the Petzl FLOW 11.8mm Rope adapts to your needs.
With high-visibility color options, it remains easy to identify in dense tree canopies. The smooth sheath structure minimizes excess friction, preventing unnecessary wear on hardware and extending the rope’s lifespan.
