OMEGA-RQ20 Rigging Line Spliced 20mm

The OMEGA-RQ20 Rigging Line is a heavy-duty 20mm arborist rigging rope designed for maximum strength, durability and dependable performance during large-scale tree dismantling and heavy timber lowering operations. Developed for professional arborists, this rope uses a balanced double-braid construction that distributes load effectively between the core and outer cover, delivering stable rope behaviour and long service life.

This version is supplied with a 200mm professionally hand-spliced eye termination, allowing quick and secure attachment to rigging blocks, pulleys and lowering devices. With low elongation (less than 4%), the OMEGA-RQ20 provides improved control when lowering large timber sections, positioning loads or carrying out controlled dismantling work.

Despite its extremely robust construction, the rope remains flexible and easy to handle for daily arborist rigging use. Each rope is also equipped with a SMARTPPE scannable traceability system, helping arborists and safety managers track inspection history, asset management and compliance records.

Technical Specifications

OMEGA-RQ Rigging Rope Range Comparison

The OMEGA-RQ rigging rope range offers a selection of diameters designed for different arborist rigging loads and tree dismantling tasks. All ropes feature balanced double-braid construction, low stretch (<4%) and SMARTPPE traceability for professional tree work.

Tip: Smaller diameters offer lighter weight and flexibility for smaller trees, while larger diameters provide increased strength and control for heavy timber lowering and complex dismantling work.

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.
