A unique but simple device that offers a fail-safe way of installing safety lines to all types of high level structures such as beams, cables, trusses and scaffolding which under normal conditions would be time consuming and dangerous.

The principle of the “Swiftie” has been proven over many years in the most rugged, freezing weather conditions especially offshore. Its simple design has been refined over this time to make it the most versatile trouble-free rope installer available as well as enabling a safer working environment.

Swifties can be used for mooring to a buoy, tree work, attaching lifelines, overhead cable work, passing ropes and cables over structures, ascending pylons and undersea salvage.

Its applications include:

• Offshore rigs and salvage operations for safety and lifelines
• “Hands-off” line attachment in hazardous situations with damaged or highly volatile structures both above and below sea
• Attaching climbing or safety lines to unstable structures such as overhead cables and access ladders
• Marine: making fast on mooring buoys or roving additional safety or security lines
• Below sea salvage work
• Tree surgery: safety or climbing lines
• Plastic versions especially useful in “live” electrical installations (large plastic Swiftie in conjunction with and approved by Scottish Hydro Electric plc)
