It all started in the 1960's, when young Denny Moorhouse took a shine to mountain climbing. His early roles as a climbing instructor led to the establishment of local start-up business - Clogwyn Climbing Gear - in 1966.

Whilst initially focused on manufacturing climbing gear, Denny's passion for helping height workers would eventually lead to the company to embrace the specialist world of industrial safety products.

By the time Clogwyn Climbing Gear became International Safety Components in 1995, Denny's reputation for innovate product engineering had begun to open doors into markets across the world - including Australia.

Today, ISC is a highly-respected global player operating at the forefront of climbing, rigging and rescue product development. But this family and community-oriented business still remains headquartered where it all began - in the cathedral city of Bangor in Gwynedd, North Wales.

ISC: Innovative industrial-grade equipment

As hands-on height safety experts, it's our job to traverse a variety of commercial, industrial and geotechnical spaces. Everything from ultra-high-rise commercial buildings to deep, dark and claustrophobically-narrow industrial dry wells.

And we just wouldn't be able to do it without world-class, industrial-grade, specialist equipment - the kind made by ISC. It's not just about their quality control and attention to detail. ISC frequently incorporate unique design features that make difficult and dangerous work a little easier. Here's a few from their current catalogue.

ISC R-ALF Two-Way Auto-Locking Pulley

This multi-directional pulley comes with a fully load-rated becket. Combined with a set of pulleys, it can provide a 3:1 or 5:1 mechanical advantage system.

 
ISC R-ALF Pulley

Ideal for:

  • Confined Space
  • Rescue
  • Work Positioning

Special features:

  • The ISC R-ALF Pulley has an over-speed brake built in. This means that the pulley will lock on and hold should the user ever lose control of the rope. As such, an external brake is not required
  • The pulley's locking system can be operated remotely and is capable of several thousand locking cycles (provided it passes inspection)
  • In addition, the locking system doesn't use a toothed cam - so damage to the rope is minimised
