Marlow Fast Rope Rack (FRR) – Descent Control System for Fast Ropes

The Marlow Fast Rope Rack (FRR) is a specialist descent control device designed to work with 40mm fast ropes during tactical helicopter insertions. Used in conjunction with a standard fast rope or the Marlow QRM, the FRR significantly improves descent control, speed regulation, and operator safety, even when carrying heavy loads or operating in wet conditions.

Constructed from high-grade anodised aluminium, the FRR is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and capable of withstanding the demands of repeated operational use. It allows friction to be applied and adjusted throughout the descent, enabling smooth, controlled fast roping by military, special forces, and law enforcement.
