The Ascender - Handled by Diving Magnets (Pty) Ltd is a professional-grade accessory designed for commercial diving operations. Built with marine-grade materials for long-term durability in demanding subsea environments.
The Handheld Rope Ascender (Right Hand) is designed to provide a secure and efficient grip on the rope during vertical climbing or rope access operations. Its ergonomic molded handle ensures a comfortable yet powerful grip, even when wearing thick gloves, while the widened opening allows easy handling and control during ascent. The ergonomic upper section is designed to maximize pulling power when using two hands.
A toothed cam with a self-cleaning slot ensures reliable rope engagement and consistent performance in various conditions, while the integrated safety catch helps prevent snagging during use. The ascender also features a wide lower attachment hole for connecting foot loops with carabiners and an upper hole for clipping a carabiner around the rope for added security.
Specifications: Rope compatibility: 8–13 mm | Material: Aluminum, stainless steel, plastic, rubber, nylon | Size: approx. 22 × 8.6 cm | Max load: 310 lbs. | Weight: 165 g | Type: Right hand.
Ofte Stilte Spørsmål
What is the actual pull force of the Ascender - Handled underwater?
The Ascender - Handled is rated at its stated rating on a clean, flat, mild steel surface. Underwater, real-world pull force depends on surface condition (rust, paint, marine growth), surface thickness, and contact angle. Expect 50–80% of rated pull on typical subsea steel structures. Always use a 2–3× safety factor for dynamic loads.
How long will the Ascender - Handled last in saltwater?
With proper care — rinsing with fresh water after each use and drying before storage — the Epoxy-HDPE coating protects the neodymium core for 4+ years of regular commercial diving use. The 316 stainless steel hardware is highly resistant to saltwater corrosion. Avoid dropping the magnet on hard surfaces, as impact damage to the coating is the primary cause of premature corrosion.
Is the Ascender - Handled strong enough for commercial diving?
Yes. The Ascender - Handled at its rated pull force is designed for light-duty commercial work including inspections, surveys, and small tool holding. If you regularly work with heavier tools or in strong currents, consider stepping up to a higher-rated model.
What surfaces does the Ascender - Handled work on?
The Ascender - Handled works on any ferromagnetic surface — mild steel, carbon steel, cast iron, and structural steel provide the best results. Performance is reduced on rusty, painted, or curved surfaces. It will not work on aluminium, brass, copper, most stainless steels (304/316), concrete, wood, or plastic.
Can I use the Ascender - Handled for lifting?
No. The Ascender - Handled is designed for horizontal tool holding and equipment staging — not for vertical lifting or rigging. It is not certified lifting gear. For safety-critical applications, always use rated lifting equipment. The magnet is a positioning and holding tool, not a load-bearing device.
