PETZL AMERICA PARTNERS WITH SAMSON ROPE TECHNOLOGIES TO LAUNCH VECTOR ROPE LINE FOR WORK AND RESCUE MARKET
Low Stretch, Ropes Available as Vector 11mm and 12.5 mm
CLEARFIELD, Utah (April 1, 2003) -- Petzl, a leading manufacturer of quality rescue and rope access equipment, today announced the launch of its new Vector™ rope line for the professional market, designed in partnership with Samson Rope Technologies of Ferndale, Wash. The Vector™ rope, which will be available in two diameters, 11 and 12.5 millimeters, will be available in North America through Petzl’s network of rescue and rope access dealers this summer.
“This is a partnership where the customer is clearly the winner,” said Michel Goulet, Petzl’s work and rescue division manager. “We are pleased to be working side by side with Samson Rope Technologies, a respected company that brings over 120 years of expertise in the rope category. Our combined experience produced one of the best performance products in the category, an excellent rope that offers superb handling, is extremely durable, firm and is very compatible with Petzl hardware. Samson has been a first rate partner and has worked diligently to exceed the technical specifications we requested. This was a natural opportunity for the two companies to come together.
The Vector™ 11 is designed for rope access (working at heights), wilderness search and rescue, law enforcement, military use, tree care, work on communication towers, and theatrical industries. The Vector™ 12.5 is engineered for urban fire and rescue, industrial emergency response, public utilities, and construction industries.
Petzl Introduces Vector™ Ropes, page two
The ropes will be certified to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards for Life Safety Rope for light use (11 mm diameter) and for general use (12.5 mm diameter).
Samson uses a proprietary technique called Fusion Technology™, in which the sheath and the core work together to provide the rope with supple handling, greatly reduced sheath slippage, the ability to retain its shape, and superior abrasion resistance. The core has continuous nylon fibers, which gives the rope its strength, while the polyester sheath fibers protect the core against abrasion and help to maintain its rounded shape.
According to Wolfgang Wilke, technical manager of the Samson Rope Technologies facility in Richmond, B.C., “Petzl set forth the challenge of raising the standard for life safety rope. We spent over a year testing different designs. The result is a rope that provides exceptional performance. This affiliation makes good business sense. We look forward to working closely with Petzl for the long term.”
Samson Rope Technologies has been recognized as the leader in developing and manufacturing ropes for the most demanding applications for over 120 years. Samson engineers use nylon, polyester and polypropylene fibers together with newer developments in fiber technology like PBO® Vectran®, HMPE (high molecular weight polyethylene, such as Dyneema®) and Technora® to produce ropes with characteristics specifically designed to enhance performance. Samson engineers continue to explore new fiber and rope construction technologies to meet the demands of the rescue and rope access fields. Samson Rope Technologies is a wholly owned subsidiary of The AMC Group.
Petzl America is the North American division of Petzl S.A.. Petzl continues to be committed to research and development of state of the art products for rescue and rope access. The company is involved with standards setting bodies, technical rescue symposiums, and extensive laboratory and field-testing.
Petzl is a worldwide supplier of rescue and rope access hardware, hands-free lighting equipment, and climbing equipment. For more information on Petzl, log onto www.petzl.com.
__________________________________________________________
As for the difference to the fly, well, it is said to be more like KMIII. It is stiff and round and is a static line. It also can not be spliced. It is more of an ascending/climbing line or access line. I was told that it was made for access and rescue. It will be available soon.
