Notch Wear Safe Steel Friction Ring - Small 28x52mm (40786)

Overview

The Notch Wear Safe Steel Friction Ring for Small rigs blends rugged durability with thoughtful safety features. Built to endure demanding arborist work, this ring highlights a first-of-its-kind wear indicator that makes routine inspections easier, so you can assess rope wear without guesswork.

Engineered with purpose, it features a 33% larger bend radius to help reduce rope abrasion during bends and pulls. The surface is CNC turned for a smooth, rope-friendly finish that minimizes rough spots and snag points on ropes and hardware. Crafted from hot forged steel, the ring delivers dependable strength with consistent sizing across batches, and an MBS rating of 30 kN provides a clear performance indication for load handling in the field.

Key benefits

• Wear indicator mark helps you identify wear during inspections and planning
• 33% larger bend radius to potentially reduce rope wear and improve handling
• CNC turned surface for a smoother, rope-friendly finish
• Hot forged steel construction for reliability and consistency
• MBS of 30 kN supports static and dynamic load scenarios in typical arborist tasks
• Individually serialized for traceability and asset management
• Available in two sizes; this listing is for Small 28x52mm, with Large 48x72mm as an option

Real-world use scenarios

Perfect for routine rigging, rope access work, and controlled descent or ascent tasks where a compact ring is preferred. The wear indicator helps crews plan maintenance more predictably, while the smoother surface reduces friction during rope movement. The serialized construction aids documentation and asset tracking on busy work sites.
