Fixe Climbing Equipment
Fixe Hardware was founded in 1992 with the goal of providing rock climbing anchoring tools. Their goods are made in Spain using recognised materials and have passed the CE/UIAA quality and safety certification procedure. The designs of the products are based on the needs of people who climb indoors and outdoors, in the construction and industrial fields, and by rigging and rope access specialists.
The Fixe climbing gear can be used both for recreational as well as industrial purposes:
For Recreational Purposes
Fixe Espeleo Semi-Static 10mm-Type A
This is a low-cost semi-static rope ideal for leisure activities such as caving, abseiling, and anchoring. ideal for occasional usage in favourable weather.
Fixe Espeleo Endurance 9.5mm Semi-Static-Type A
The Endurance version, like the ordinary Espeleo, is meant for recreational usage like caving, but it also has their proprietary Endurance braid, which lowers dirt penetration and water retention and provides it a stronger resilience to abrasion compared to the standard Espeleo Semi-Static. As a result, it is ideal for heavy usage in good to bad circumstances.
For Industrial use
Fixe Ranger 10.5mm Semi-Static - Type A
This is Fixe's most popular 10,5mm semi-static rope. It has a type A grade and is therefore suited for all industrial, professional, as well as recreational applications. This is a good value solution for fair industrial usage under fair circumstances.
Fixe Pro 10.5mm Semi-Static - Type A
This machine outperforms the Fixe Ranger owing to its 48-wire machine and 2 by 2 braiding. This provides a much tighter and smoother finish onto the rope's surface, minimising friction and abrasion while also enhancing overall handling and longevity. Ideal for moderate to heavy usage in moderately professional working environments.
9.5mm Fixe Pro Endurance Semi-Static Type A
This is the king of semi-static fixe climbing equipment. It is produced on the 48-wired machine similar to the Pro Semi Static rope, but with Fixe's endurance style braiding structure (also known as the Herringbone Braiding), which provides a better feel, more flexibility and handling, and can survive 30% more abrasion cycles than the normal Pro. Plus, the smaller diameter of the rope helps to shave off some of the major carry weight. This weight is at a modest 59g per metre when it is compared to the popular Fixe Pro Semi-Static, weighing in at 72.5g per metre. That’s a weight reduction of 1.3 kg every 100 m. This is the ultimate type A-rated semi-static Fixe climbing gear for heavy industrial applications under all situations.
