CERTIFICATIONS
It took many years of development and testing to bring you the Ronin Lift ascender. When we designed our equipment, we ensured that it would exceed the established testing standards. You can be confident our products meet the commercial requirements for use, and it is the safest powered ascender in the marketplace.

North America ANSI:
While there is no official ANSI standard yet for powered ascender technology (We are working on it). At Ronin we did perform comparable testing to the rescue hoist and winch standard ANSI Z359.4 standard. Since a powered ascender technology is not classified as personal protective equipment you can still use it in an OSHA environment, if you are using the proper PPE and training with it. Please contact us today if you have any questions and we can always schedule a technical review with your safety team to go over the details.
2022 Guide
POWERED ASCENDER USE ON ANTENNA SUPPORTING STRUCTURES
This telecommunications industry consensus document is intended to address the use of Powered Ascenders in conjunction with a fixed synthetic rope for personnel ascending, descending and work positioning on telecommunications structures. There is not a recognized standard in the United States applicable for the use of Powered Ascenders utilizing synthetic rope; the only relevant reference material available is the European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. As a proactive approach to the safe use of Powered Ascenders in the industry, this document was created to provide guidance for the use of Powered Ascenders on telecom structures regardless of Powered Ascender manufacturer or design type.
Recent advances in technology have made Powered Ascenders a more prevalent and viable tool for access to work at height. These devices benefit the industry by reducing worker fatigue, increasing efficiency, productivity, and reducing injury potential from repetitive motion injuries, thus increasing worker longevity.
This document is intended to address Powered Ascenders on a fixed synthetic rope, where the Powered Ascender moves along the rope. It will not address the configurations of the Powered Ascender being anchored and the rope moving, or the use of a Powered Ascender to hoist materials. This consensus document is only intended to apply to antenna supporting structures that are governed by the ANSI/TIA222 standard, as adopted by the International Building Code (IBC) and other jurisdictional building codes.
