Fast Ropes (Deplaning or swarming ropes)

Originally designed and developed by Marlow Ropes in conjunction with the British Special Forces, Fast Ropes are used for rapid deployment from helicopters without the need for harnesses.   Tried and tested by regular and special forces, Marlow's fast Ropes are in use in the four corners of the globe.

The construction of Marlow Fast Rope allows exact and comfortable control throughout the descent.

In response to the needs of special units, we now offer a selection of 4 termination options:

F.R.I.E.S (Fast Rope Insertion & Extraction System)

Designed as a multi use product for rapid deployment and retrieval, reducing the risk to helicopters and personnel. Each Marlow F.R.I.E.S. can carry up to 12 fully equipped personnel with it’s loop and lanyard system and can also be used as a regular Fast Rope.

R.P.X. System (Rapid Personnel eXtraction)

Marlow’s new and innovative R.P.X. System uses Dyneema® fibre to create a super light-weight and super strong personnel extraction system.
