Product information & specifications
OMEGA-RQ18 Rigging Line Spliced 18mm
The OMEGA-RQ18 Rigging Line is a heavy-duty 18mm arborist rigging rope designed for maximum strength, durability and reliable handling during large-scale tree dismantling and heavy lowering operations. Built for professional arborists, this rope uses a balanced double-braid construction that distributes load efficiently between the core and outer cover, helping maintain consistent performance and long service life.
This version is supplied with a 180mm professionally hand-spliced eye termination, providing a secure attachment point for rigging blocks, pulleys and lowering devices. With low elongation (less than 4%), the OMEGA-RQ18 offers excellent control when lowering large timber sections, positioning loads or carrying out precision rigging work.
Despite its extremely robust build, the rope maintains a flexible feel and smooth handling for everyday arborist use. Each rope also includes a SMARTPPE scannable traceability system, allowing arborists and safety managers to track inspections, usage history and equipment records efficiently.
Key Features
- Heavy-duty 18mm arborist rigging rope
- Supplied with 180mm hand-spliced eye termination
- Balanced double-braid construction for stable load sharing
- Low elongation (<4%) for improved lowering control
- Flexible handling for daily rigging work
- Durable construction for extended service life
- SMARTPPE scannable traceability system
- Ideal for dismantling, lowering and heavy arborist rigging systems
Typical Applications
- Heavy arborist lowering operations
- Controlled tree dismantling
- Large timber rigging systems
- Professional arborist rigging setups

Testing & Strength Information
Rope Body (Un-terminated)
Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) tested according to ISO 2307 using a bollard-type termination.
Spliced-Eye Strength Rating
Calculated using Sigma standard deviation from five tensile test results performed on hand-spliced eyes.
Test Setup
- Pin-to-pin tensile test
- Pin diameter: 50 mm
- Eye internal length: 500 mm
- Overall specimen length: 2,500 mm
- Double braid rope construction
Note: The spliced-eye strength rating is configuration and method dependent and is provided as a statistically derived performance rating. It should not replace rope-body MBS unless the end-use configuration matches the stated test setup.
