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)
