Vanguard Fall Prevention Device
Fibre Strop
Vanguard Fall Prevention Device (Fibre Strops), serve as additional safety precaution onboard lifeboats using hook release systems without integrated Fall Prevention Devices.
Vanguard Fall Prevention Devices (Fibre Strops), have been developed after intensive research and development. Meeting the guidelines set in MSC 1392, the fibre strops are an ideal and cost-effective additional safety measure.
Tested and witnessed by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), the fibre strop is a plug & play device that can be fitted onto any make of lifeboat.
