BEAL
THE DYNAMIC COMPANY
BEAL is a small family enterprise situated in Vienne, France. Despite its modest size, BEAL qualifies as the world’s premier manufacturer of climbing and security ropes. This leading position is explained by indisputable technical advances in the production process, and sale of the 8 million meters of rope annually.
BEAL HISTORY
From rock climbing to work at height, alpinism and ice climbing, use in construction and public works, by the police, army, rapid deployment forces and in rescue operations - the video shows a hugely impressive array of applications of BEAL ropes. The rapid succession of images of BEAL ropes in action perfectly conveys the dynamism of a company, an industry and a market of tremendous value and meaning in our modern society.
Unicore Technology
An astonishing process, bonding rope sheath and core without affecting the rope's suppleness. Even in the hardest conditions of use sheath slippage is suppressed. If the sheath is cut or torn, core and sheath remain bonded together.With a standard rope, if the sheath is cut by abrasion over an edge, a frequent occurrence in work at height and in rescues, it slides and gathers over some metres. It then becomes impossible to pass this zone, either to ascend or to descend. If the problem occurs near to the end of the rope the sheath may slide off completely, and the user fall to the ground. With the UNICORE process the sheath remains in place and the user may escape, either by descent or ascent, taking all necessary precautions. He/she is not stuck without a solution on the rope.The UNICORE process brings an undeniable gain in security during delicate and dangerous operations.

ONE DYNAMIC ROPE = ONE TREE
Since 2007, for every dynamic rope sold, Beal plants a tree in Madagascar. About 700,000 young plants were transplanted. About 250,000 are growing, having survived the first difficult years between, bush fires, and prolonged drought. We have a partnership with the NGO "Wood en stock" and his President Gilles GAUTIER. This organization is based in Madagascar and we are trying together to promote the reforestation of the valley where the famous Big walls are located (close the national park of Andringitra). For each sold rope, BEAL and Wood en stock plant a tree. It is a strong and positive action we wanted to do! It is also a way to express our gratitude toward this increadible Island that benefits us so much.
