{"product_id":"isc-reflex-v2-mechanical-hitch","title":"ISC Reflex V2 Mechanical Hitch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ISC Reflex V2 Mechanical Hitch represents a refined evolution of the trusted Reflex platform, engineered to extend performance and durability without compromising the familiar handling climbers rely on. The V2 retains the same body, frames, and lower link system while concentrating innovation on the upper links, spring system, and axle — delivering incremental but meaningful improvements in torque, wear resistance, and load distribution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe redesigned upper links feature additional material and an enlarged wear radius where they grip the rope, directly extending service life in demanding conditions. Longer upper links increase torque engagement around the axles, ensuring a positive, consistent bite across rope diameters of 11–13mm EN1891 Type A. A newly implemented dual-spring top link maintains the same spring resistance users expect whilst expanding the rotation range, allowing the device to perform reliably across varied rigging angles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLoad distribution has been fundamentally improved through the refined link system. By shifting greater friction forces to the lower links, the V2 wears more consistently throughout its working surfaces, reducing hotspots and dramatically extending operational life. A redesigned top axle simplifies routine maintenance with a new cleaning hole for quicker lubrication, while a strengthened top plate resists accidental bending during field use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMid-line attachable with no threading required, the Reflex V2 delivers precise friction control suitable for both SRT and MRT systems. Rated to 200kg rescue load with a working load limit of 50–200kg, it weighs just 567g and carries CE certification to EN 12841:2024\/C. The removable, replaceable swivel eye and self-tending design with low-friction ascent options make it a versatile choice for arborists and rope access professionals seeking durability without reinvention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"closing-line reveal in\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"closing-line reveal in\"\u003eIMPROVEMENTS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"closing-line reveal in\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"num\"\u003eUpper Links\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore material:\u003c\/strong\u003e The redesigned upper links have additional material and a larger wear radius at the surfaces that grip the rope, leading to extended service life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore Torque:\u003c\/strong\u003e Longer upper links increase torque as they engage the rope around the axles, for a positive, consistent bite.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"num\"\u003eLink System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShared Load:\u003c\/strong\u003e More of the device doing the work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe added torque forces on the rope travelling across the top axles shift a greater share of friction to the lower links, so REFLEX V2 wears more consistently, greatly extending service life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuel-spring top link:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two springs extend the top link’s range of rotation to maintain performance, while keeping the same spring resistance REFLEX users have come to expect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2 reveal in\"\u003eRefined \u003cspan class=\"accent\"\u003edetails.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cards\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card in\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"part\"\u003eTop Axle\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasier Maintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e A redesigned top axle and new cleaning hole make routine cleaning and lubrication quicker and easier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"card in\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"part\"\u003eTop Plate\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStronger top plate:\u003c\/strong\u003e A more durable top plate better resists accidental bending and damage in day-to-day handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"result\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid-line attachable — no threading required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecise, gradual friction control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with MRT and SRT systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200kg rescue load rated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable and replaceable swivel eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-tending, low-friction ascent with choice of towing positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCE certified to EN 12841:2024\/C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRope diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11–13mm EN1891 Type A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWLL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50–200kg (110–440lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMBS (gate closed):\u003c\/strong\u003e 12kN \/ 2,698lbf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 567g \/ 20oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anodised\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerial numbering:\u003c\/strong\u003e As standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApproved Standards\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEN 12841:2024\/C — for use on ø11–13mm EN1891 Type A rope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ISC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58116586733950,"sku":"MH285A1.2","price":329.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0307\/2681\/5882\/files\/isc-reflex-v2-mechanical-hitch-climbing-hardware-399.webp?v=1790610351","url":"https:\/\/skylandequipment.com\/products\/isc-reflex-v2-mechanical-hitch","provider":"Skyland Equipment Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
