Hexarope HexaRing Friction Rigging Ring The Hexarope HexaRing Friction Rigging Ring is a compact, next-generation friction ring developed specifically for arborists. Designed from the ground up for pruning and dismantling operations, it offers improved rope compatibility and enhanced longevity compared to traditional marine-derived friction rings. Its optimised geometry supports controlled lowering while helping protect the integrity of modern rigging lines. Purpose-built for arborist rigging A friction ring is used to control the descent of heavy loads such as branches and trunk sections during dismantling. By increasing friction on the rope, it regulates descent speed and reduces dynamic loading forces. The HexaRing is engineered specifically for tree care, addressing the unique rope configurations and anchor methods used in arboriculture. Splice-friendly and rope-conscious design The distinctive teardrop shape is designed to accommodate common arborist splices without crushing or distorting them. With a curvature factor of 4, the HexaRing respects the rope’s bending radius, helping reduce fibre stress and premature wear. This detail supports longer rope lifespan and more consistent performance in demanding rigging scenarios. Compact, lightweight and durable The HexaRing combines a compact profile with lightweight construction, making it easy to transport and position without sacrificing capability. The aluminium body is finished with hard anodisation to increase resistance to wear and corrosion. This treatment enhances durability in the harsh environments typically encountered during tree dismantling operations.
