RIDGEGEAR - UK Manufacturer of Height Safety Equipment
RIDGEGEAR was founded in 1998. Since that time, we have established ourselves as a leading innovator in the height safety manufacturing industry. All of the advanced products are developed and produced at our factory in Leek, Staffordshire where they are extensively tested to the highest specification.
The RIDGEGEAR Way –
From Yarn to You
We stand in a unique position. Because we manufacture the webbing here on site we control the complete manufacturing process, which means you can be sure of the best quality end product delivered to you every time.
Our Core Values
Safety
We understand that our products save lives so testing is constant, and repeated again when the production process is complete. The webbing will only be released for one of our products when it passes all of the demanding height safety tests. This ensures our customers benefit from improved functionality and the knowledge that RIDGEGEAR products give absolute security.

Our continuous and rigorous testing does not stop there. We know this is a lifesaving product and testing is continued yet again, even after the production process is complete. The webbing will only be released for one of our products when it passes all the demanding tests of our height safety.

Made In Britain
We are proud to be part of the Made in Britain campaign, since April 2016. Our safety harnesses, lanyards are produced on site at our factory in Leek, Staffordshire. We only use the best when it comes to webbing which as mentioned before is also produced on site. Meaning whenever you purchase a RIDGEGEAR harness or lanyard you can be assured that you’re getting the very best and safest British made product.
10 Year Lifespan
Following extensive testing of our webbing and manufacturing processes, the recommended 10 year lifespan is effective on all textile based products manufactured on or after January 2010 across the entire RIDGEGEAR harness and lanyard range.
Testing samples of 10 year old products, they all passed EN testing as well as additional tests where they were exposed to UV for a lengthy amount of time.
The results showed that the breaking loads on all of our webbing were between 85-98% of their original value, against the minimum requirement of 70%.
