Notch Jet Step II is the next generation of foot ascenders developed for arborists who want maximum efficiency when ascending. Based on the popular Jet Step platform, Notch has made the device smaller, lighter, and even more efficient, with significantly reduced friction and an improved self-feeding function.
The all-new compact design, combined with toothless double chambers, means that more of your energy is used for ascending – and less on overcoming resistance in the system.
More efficient ascending
The Jet Step II is designed to make every single foot movement more efficient.
The new construction significantly reduces friction, which provides:
- Smoother rope movement
- Better self-feeding function
- Less energy consumption while climbing
- Faster and more efficient ascending
Perfect for:
- SRS / SRT
- MRS
- Traditional systems with Blake's Hitch
Completely new compact design
The updated construction removes the lower rope guides and introduces new “Angel Wing” guides on the double chambers.
Benefits:
- Reduces the risk of kickout
- Significantly less friction
- Smoother rope handling
- Improved efficiency throughout the entire ascent
Toothless double chambers
The toothless chambers provide several advantages compared to traditional foot ascenders:
- Gentle on the rope
- Works on both the right and left foot
- Better self-feeding properties
- Reliable function on wet, dry, or dirty ropes
The system quickly re-engages without the need for extra weight on the rope end.
New wiregate for increased safety
The integrated wiregate ensures:
- Reduced risk of accidental disengagement
- Prevents pant legs or clothing from getting caught
- Better control during ascending
Comfortable and stable fit
The Y-shaped foot strap is fully adjustable and provides a stable fit on most types of work boots.
The foot strap is made of durable HTPE-coated webbing for a long service life and demanding professional use.
