Commandotouwen Goeman from Lede

Family business with more than 50 years of experience

Are you looking for reliable climbing equipment for intensive use? Then you can count on Commandotouwen Goeman from Lede. The company, founded by technical engineer Gerard Goeman, specialises in dynamic and static climbing ropes of different diameters.

Our speciality is the 20 mm core-sheath rope (or zip line), ideal for death rides. Our products are much sturdier than the classic climbing ropes, because we develop the ropes ourselves. During hands-on experiences in the training centre for paratroopers in Marche-les-Dames (Belgium), we gathered all the knowledge necessary to make high quality ropes.

Why Commandotouwen Goeman

Built for intensive use

  • Unique in the Benelux

    We are the only ones in the Benelux who braid safety ropes – in our own workshop in Lede, developed by technical textile engineer Gerard Goeman.

  • Tested by Defence

    The Belgian army has been using our ropes for more than 50 years and put them through drop tests and abseiling. They carry the CE label.

  • Reinforced sheath

    Thanks to their reinforced sheath, our ropes last much longer. Our 20 mm death ride rope handles 1,500 to 3,000 descents.

  • Made to measure

    Any length to order, a sewn eye on request, and handles and webbing tailored to your application.

Our speciality

The 20 mm death ride rope

Specially developed for inclined abseiling with a steel carabiner between two anchor points: death rides, rope courses and monkey bridges. With its reinforced sheath and minimal elongation, it is one of the most durable ropes on the market.
