The key is static load. The device can withstand higher static loads to about 6kN (1350lbs), but any dynamic load applied from 4kN (900lbs) to 6kN even for a millionth of a second will eat your rope to shreds. The general rule is toothed cam devices eat rope at 4kN (900lbs), so don't use it as a rope grab, fall arrester, or progress capture unless you really know what your doing. The EN12841 type B standard tests show that it will handle dynamic loads over 4kN (900lbs), but it becomes very depended on what type / age of rope is used. Its a hand ascender for body weight (static loads), if your using it for something else consider another device. **Q: Where is it made in?** A: Petzl manufactures in France. **Q: Is this a practical solution for hanging my kids' rope swing to make it easily height-adjustable? Indoor use. 10.5 mm static rope.** A: No it's intention is too ascend rope, I see what your thinking but eventually the rope its hanging unto not the actual swings rope but what its holding would fail from being used in a fixed position. **Q: What diameter rope is this for? ca i use it with 12-strand arborist climbing rope, 1/2" by 150' blue ox rope?** A: It will accept 8mm to 13mm rope - Arborist rope will be fine. ## Frequently Bought Together - PETZL Ascension Ascender - Ergonomic Handled Rope Ascender for Climbing and Rigging - Petzl FOOTAPE Foot Loop - Adjustable Webbing Foot Loop for Ascending Ropes - PETZL, OK Carabiners --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/15462224-ascension-ergonomic-handled-ascender-for-rope-ascents](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/15462224-ascension-ergonomic-handled-ascender-for-rope-ascents) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-29*
