Petzl Flow 11.8mm Climbing Rope - Green - 1 Splice

Petzl Flow 11.8mm Climbing Rope - Green - 1 Splice

The Petzl Flow 11.8mm Climbing Rope is designed specifically for professional tree care, offering efficient movement, consistent handling, and dependable performance in demanding canopy work. Supplied in green with a single factory splice, this rope supports smooth system integration when working with friction savers, pulleys, and mechanical devices. Its balanced diameter delivers an effective combination of flexibility, durability, and manageable weight for everyday arborist use.

Optimised for tree care movement and devices

A patented factory splice at one end improves rope glide through friction savers, pulleys, and tree branches, helping reduce resistance during ascent and repositioning. The compact splice size allows the rope to pass smoothly through the friction chain of ZIGZAG and ZIGZAG PLUS mechanical Prusiks. Low elongation under load supports efficient movement in the canopy, helping transfer effort directly into progress rather than rope stretch.

Balanced diameter with efficient handling

The 11.8 mm diameter provides a practical balance between flexibility and control, supporting confident handling across a wide range of climbing techniques. With a weight of 103 g per metre, the rope remains manageable on long ascents while maintaining a solid feel in the hand. Static elongation of 3 percent contributes to precise positioning and stable work movements when loading and unloading the system.

Consistent performance in varied conditions

The rope is constructed using a 100 percent polyester double weave with a 24 carrier construction and a 53 percent sheath. Petzl’s EverFlex technology helps maintain flexibility over time and across changing conditions such as water, dust, and mud, supporting reliable device interaction and consistent handling. The rope delivers a strength of 27 kN, with 15 kN retained when spliced or tied with a figure-eight knot. It is certified to CE EN 1891 type A and ANSI Z133, supporting professional tree care applications.
