The RopeSpinner enables simultaneous hoisting and storage, creating a continuous workflow that reduces effort, improves control, and saves time on every job.
RopeSpinner develops innovative rope handling solutions based on real-world rope access experience and technical product engineering. The concept originates from practical challenges in the field, with the goal of improving efficiency, reliability and safety in demanding height-based operations.
By combining hands-on operational insight with mechanical design and system engineering, RopeSpinner delivers functional and robust products designed for consistent performance under real-world conditions. Development is continuously refined through field use and validation, ensuring that each product meets the demands of professional rope access environments.
in rope handling
Manual hoisting
Long rope lengths still need to be pulled up manually, costing time and physical effort.
Separate storage
After hoisting, rope still needs to be handled again to store it properly, adding a second repetitive step.
Physical strain
Repeated handling increases fatigue and reduces consistency, especially in demanding rope access environments.
to Spin&Stow
Spin&Stow is the process of combining hoisting and storing of rope into a single, continuous and controlled workflow. The RopeSpinner is purpose-built to make Spin&Stow possible. Reducing effort, improving control, and saving time on every job.

real-world rope handling
Every detail is designed to enable the Spin&Stow method in demanding environments.
Compact handtool
Robust, lightweight and safe. Designed for reliable performance and intuitive operation in demanding conditions.
Easy to use
Installed directly on a tensioned rope. The system creates controlled slack to enable quick and precise setup.
No load on the user
Removes both lifting force and reaction torque. The load is handled by the system, not the operator.
Use with any rope bag
Compatible with virtually any rope bag. Simple, adaptable and ready for different setups.
Integrated safety clutch
Limits the transmitted force under excessive load. Protecting both the user and the system during operation.
two working methods
RopeSpinner supports different working methods, adapting to the situation while maintaining a controlled and continuous workflow.
From the harness D-ring
In this working method, the user operates closer to the edge, typically resulting in lower rope friction and reduced system load. However, the user remains in the load path between the RopeSpinner and the ground-based restraint. This can reduce comfort, as part of the rope load and reaction forces are transferred to the user.
From within the nacelle
Operating from inside the nacelle improves comfort and safety, keeping the user out of the load path. No hoisting load is transferred to the user. This setup typically increases rope friction due to the longer rope path over surfaces, a load handled by the RopeSpinner.
about the RopeSpinner
General
RopeSpinner is powered by a standard drill and attaches directly to the rope. It guides, drives and stores the rope in a controlled manner, enabling simultaneous hoisting and storage.
Spin&Stow is a method that combines hoisting and storing rope into one continuous, controlled process. Enabled by RopeSpinner.
RopeSpinner includes an integrated safety clutch that limits transmitted force under excessive load, helping to protect both the user and the system during operation.
RopeSpinner is currently in development. The first public introduction is planned for early 2027.
Technical
The device is mounted directly onto a tensioned rope. Controlled slack is created to enable quick and precise installation.
The RopeSpinner removes both lifting force and reaction torque from the user, allowing for controlled and low-effort operation.
RopeSpinner is designed to work with a wide range of rope types used in rope access. Final specifications will be provided with the production model.
Yes. The RopeSpinner is compatible with virtually any rope and rope bag, allowing flexible use in different setups.
