Description
Evacuation and Rescue Device
The Evacuation and Rescue Device provides controlled emergency descent and assisted rescue for a wide range of working environments. Designed for safety-critical applications, it enables the fully automatic evacuation of up to two people simultaneously while maintaining a consistent descent speed.
Thanks to its self-cooling double-brake system, the device delivers reliable performance even when handling heavy loads from significant heights. Active heat dissipation helps maintain stable operation throughout the evacuation process, while the intuitive design reduces the risk of operator error.
The high-performance kernmantle rope is engineered for demanding onshore and offshore environments. In addition, it offers excellent resistance to wear, fire, saltwater spray and extreme temperatures, ensuring dependable performance in challenging conditions.
Its bi-directional design allows both ends of the rope to be used for descent, enabling uninterrupted evacuation and rescue operations. As a result, multiple users can be evacuated quickly and efficiently when every second counts. Furthermore, the integrated spoke handwheel supports hoisting applications, increasing the system’s versatility.
Manufactured from high-strength aluminium alloy, the housing is lightweight, durable and corrosion-resistant. Meanwhile, the ball-bearing rope routing system enhances stability and maximises service life, making the device suitable for long-term professional use.
To suit different operational requirements, the Evacuation and Rescue Device is available with a moisture-proof storage bag for mobile technicians or a vacuum-sealed C4H corrosion-resistant metal box for permanent installation in demanding environments such as wind turbines.
