Product Overview
The FP05 Cable 1m Anchorage Sling is a fundamental component for professionals working at height. Engineered for security and reliability, this one-metre steel sling facilitates safe anchorage to a variety of structures where a standard textile sling might be susceptible to damage. By utilizing a robust steel rope core protected by a durable plastic outer casing, this sling provides a secure point of attachment for fall arrest systems, ensuring that safety is never compromised when working in demanding environments.
Key Features
- Dual Thimble Loops: Each end is finished with a reinforced thimble loop, allowing for secure connection to carabiners and other fall protection hardware while preventing wear on the steel cable.
- Protective PVC Casing: The transparent plastic sleeve protects the internal wire from environmental factors and abrasion against rough surfaces, extending the service life of the sling.
- EN 795:2012 Class B Certification: This product meets rigorous European safety standards for transportable temporary anchor devices, providing documented assurance of its performance capabilities.
- One-Metre Span: The length is specifically chosen to offer versatility when wrapping around structural beams or pillars without excessive slack.
Design & Performance
Constructed from high-grade steel rope, the FP05 is designed to withstand the significant forces involved in fall protection. Despite its immense strength, it remains a lightweight and portable addition to any technician's equipment bag. The silver steel finish is visible through the protective PVC coating, allowing for easy visual inspections of the cable’s integrity before every use.
The performance of this sling is rooted in its simplicity. The PVC casing not only protects the steel but also safeguards the structure it is attached to from being scratched or damaged by the metal wire. This makes it an ideal choice for use on both industrial steelwork and finished architectural features.
Why No Customisation?
As a critical piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) used for height safety and fall arrest, this anchorage sling cannot be customised. Any modification, such as the addition of printed labels or embroidery, could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the steel rope or the protective casing. Furthermore, maintaining the original manufacturer’s specifications is essential for compliance with EN 795 safety certifications. Safety must always precede branding.
Use Cases
This anchorage sling is specifically designed for professionals in the construction and tree surgery sectors. It is perfectly suited for creating secure anchor points around I-beams, scaffolding, or sturdy tree limbs where a high level of cut resistance and durability is required. Whether you are performing maintenance at height or navigating complex arboricultural tasks, this sling provides the necessary security.

Practical Advice
When using the FP05 anchorage sling, always ensure that the structure you are attaching to is capable of withstanding the potential loads of a fall. It is advisable to use this sling in conjunction with compatible EN-certified carabiners to ensure a secure connection. Before each climb, perform a tactile and visual check of the entire length of the cable to ensure the PVC casing is intact and the thimble loops show no signs of distortion.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety rating of your anchorage sling, it must be stored in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and corrosive chemicals. Exposure to harsh chemicals can degrade the PVC casing, which may eventually lead to the hidden corrosion of the internal steel wire.
Cleaning should be done using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can cloud or damage the protective sleeve, making visual inspections difficult. If the sling is exposed to salt water or heavy moisture, it should be dried thoroughly before storage to prevent oxidation of the steel components.
Regular inspections by a competent person are mandatory for all height safety equipment. If the PVC casing becomes deeply scored, or if there is any evidence of the steel wire fraying or the thimble loops bending, the sling must be removed from service immediately and replaced. Safety equipment is only effective when it is in pristine condition.
