Product information & specifications
Notch Rope Runner Vertec - The Next-Gen Climbing and Work Positioning Device
The Notch Equipment Rope Runner Pro revolutionised tree care, becoming a top-selling climbing device. Now, Notch, in collaboration with Kevin Bingham, introduces the Rope Runner Vertec — the next generation of the Rope Runner series, offering the same exceptional performance as its predecessor with groundbreaking enhancements: tool-free adjustability, versatile friction settings, mid-line attachability without slic pins, and an intuitive design for smooth descents.
It's in stock at Gustharts as an authorised Notch dealer, with free UK delivery on this order.
Recent refinements to the lower attachment point, based on real-world feedback from arborists, make tending smoother across a wider range of rope and carabiner setups while keeping the same smooth modulation and tool-free adjustability users already love.

- 7 friction settings for the perfect fit on your rope
- Integrated tending point for attachment to your chest harness, compatible with Notch Magneato
- Mid-line attachable without slic pins
- Designed in collaboration with Kevin Bingham
- Scannable for track and trace capability using a data matrix
- Compatible with ropes 11-12.9mm in diameter
- CE certified, conforms to regulation (EU) 2016/425
Technical Details
Why Choose the Rope Runner Vertec?
Notch Equipment built the original Rope Runner Pro into one of the best-selling climbing devices in tree care, and the Vertec — developed with professional climber Kevin Bingham — refines that platform with tool-free friction adjustment and mid-line attachment without slic pins, both genuine time-savers on the job. Choose the Vertec over the original Rope Runner Pro if you want faster mid-line setup and on-the-fly friction changes without carrying separate tools.
Certified Protection Explained
The Rope Runner Vertec is CE certified, conforming to EU regulation 2016/425 for personal protective equipment, confirming it has been independently assessed against the safety requirements for professional climbing and work-positioning devices sold in the UK and EU.
Pairs Well With
Add the Notch Magneato Rope Runner Connector for a magnetic chest harness attachment that works directly with the Vertec's integrated tending point.
