Abstract: An industrial edger for mounting to a sharp or abrasive edge to protect rope from physical damage caused by contact between the rope and the edge as the rope passes over the edge. The industrial edger comprises an elongated tube having an exterior surface over which the rope passes, a slot cut along the length of the elongated tube to allow placement of the industrial edger over the edge, and end plates attached to both ends of the elongated tube to prevent the rope from sliding off of the elongated tube. Dividing plates may be attached to the exterior surface of the elongated tube to provide multiple channels for the use of multiple ropes protected by one industrial edger. A roller may be placed on the top of each end plate to reduce friction from an object, e.g., a backboard, sliding over the industrial edger. A retaining rod may be removably mounted parallel to the elongated tube, attached at the end plates, to prevent a loose rope from coming off of the industrial edger.
