With its smooth hot-swap battery you can change batteries mid-operation, a rope...

    Sounds like Ronin Is working on a Mid Line attachable and a smaller less powerful unit. Also working on a direct power attachment to run off a wall plug. Don't suspect the batteries will ever be dewalt or something like that but I will pass along all design suggestions.

    Ronin Battery Powered Ascender

    All I can tell you is I made the decision that the edge was safe to navigate without protection for myself. It was a soft edge, I've had no issues with the rope. I wasn't working side to side off those edges just straight up and down. I was working sideways on the roof, with additional roof...

    You protect your ropes over tree branches? Those trees could eat through a tensioned rope no? I do protect my ropes, hence the rope protectors you see me using in the video. I am well aware that the majority of rope failures are due to unprotected edges. There are risks to work at heights, we...

    yeah no the ropes will not get eatin through on the shingles or wooden edge of that roof, doesn't even barley scuff up the outter sheath, and I do use rope protectors, if you look you can see on the top of the roof peak and the lower edge. Never had any problems with damaged or cut ropes. It...

    Ronin Battery Powered Ascender

    All good Burrapeg, thats why I am hitting the forums to get the word out. Brutal honesty and open discussion. This is the first device from Ronin, a small version and hopefully cheaper is in the works. Nice to have choices in the market but one size definitely doesn't not fit all. As an example...

    Ronin Battery Powered Ascender

    You can use different Climbing rope, but you should be using an 11.m with very low elongation for best performance. So I hate to point it out but an Arb working in trees uses dynamic rope as it is the main part or their fall arrest system in which the dynamic rope cushions the fall. I will be...

    Ronin Battery Powered Ascender

    Just reading all the post, let me just address the battery, it is swappable, so no it is not internal and can be changed out. There will be two options for the batteries priced around $200/$250us. They are designed specifically for the Ronin so yes you would have to purchase them from Ronin...

    Ronin Battery Powered Ascender

    Actually the next device Ronin is working on is small, although with less lift capacity and battery life, but smaller. Still won't be mid line loadable but smaller might be better. Sorry I meant for those that want the device and now, it is limited, but by July/Aug there will be plenty of stock...

    Ronin Battery Powered Ascender

    In your case buying two is not an issue, it is reasonably priced. I will be using mine for both hauling and ascending with confidence. I also use two ropes always, a back-up safety. I realize arborists use one line and how that could be a real concern. SPRAT/IRATA...
