It is a new way to look at rigging - different to using a pulley: here, the low friction on the ring becomes an advantage to brake loads by reducing the forces on the braking system. The surface treatment prevents that friction from damaging the ropes quickly. This product must be used together with a sling, ideally one with a spliced end (not supplied). It can be used with a single rope, but also with two ropes at the same time. The Ring’s great strength and this possible use turn it into a perfect tool for big rigging works. In this case, it can be very useful to oversize the attaching sling: it will increase the breaking strength of the whole rigging system (bollard, rope, ring) and thus keep its coherence. Please read the instructions for more information on its use.
