Ladders

 

The SSB® tweezle® can be clipped on every secure point in the ropes course, thus it allows the usage of ladders or other fixed climbing aides.

 

Secure passing of other participants

 

The SSB® System allows the passing of slower participants.

Slower users like children have the opportunity to take a brake without blocking others.

 

Elements with double safety rope or cable

 

The first SSB® karabiner of the SSB® Set is being locked on the first cable, the secund will be hung on the secund cable.

This allows the use of the element redundantly secure.

 

Elements with single safety rope or cable

 

One SSB® karabiner is being locked by the SSB® tweezle®, then the other SSB® karabiner ist hooked on the same steel cable und the element can be used securley.

 

Swings and other ways of safety access

 

Even elements of a ropes course, wich are secured in other ways than parallel steel cables, like swings or nets, can be used with the SSB® Lanyard Set.

One SSB® karabiner is being locked and the other one can be hooked on the same secure spot.

 

Junctions und crossings

 

The SSB® System allows any number of elements starting or ending at one platform.

The ways through the ropes course can be in circuits or chaotic - as you wish.

 

Regulation of the direction of the participants

 

By installing an SSB® tweezle® only at one side of an element, it only can be used in one direction, SSB® tweezle®s on both sides allow to use the element in either direction.

 

Zip lines

 

The SSB® System allows the use of zip lines (flying fox).

Pre installed pulleys can as well be used as pulleys carried by the participants.

The SSB® System can be easily combined with the POWERFAN to provide vertical drops or extreme zip lines in your ropes course.

 

Passing by during the use of an element / elemenst for two or more

 

On elements with two security ropes a passing by during the use of the element is possible. In this case one SSB® tweezle® is mounted on each rope on complementary sides.

Inhibit of single elements

 

By removing blocking the SSB® tweezle® the SSB® karabiner cannot be attached anymore. By this means, elements can be inhibited for maintenance or other reasons.

 

Entrances and exits

 

The SSB® Systems allows entrances into the ropes course exclusively be used as entrances und exits only to be used to leave the course.

Two-way entrance und exits may be installed as well.

 

Poles or trees

 

The SSB® System may be used on any self belay ropes course, whether  installed between poles or trees.
