Evacuation And Rescue Device

Safe Evacuation When Working At Height

The 3S emergency descent device is essential for emergency high-altitude descents and rescue evacuations. It features a unique bi-directional operation design, allowing for continuous descent during an escape and supporting simultaneous evacuation for two individuals. In the event that a high-altitude worker experiences a fall or becomes incapacitated, the emergency descent device can also be used to rescue the person.

Automatic Descent and Assisted Rescue

The Evacuation and Rescue Device is an essential safety device when working at height. In cases where regular descent via the wind turbine tower’s ladder or lift is impossible, the Evacuation and Rescue Device provides emergency descent and assisted rescue. With its bi-directional design, it enables the fully automatic, controlled evacuation of up to two people simultaneously. The dual-brake mechanism with active heat dissipation ensures reliable performance, even when descending heavy loads from great heights.

Product Details
SOSAF-2R

Rescue & Recovery Model

With its integrated spoke handwheel, the Sosaf-2R model can be used for hoisting.

Self-Cooling Double Brake

The dual-brake mechanism with active heat dissipation provides stable descent at uniform speed. Even heavy loads can be abseiled from tall towers, enabling simultaneous two-person evacuation.

Bi-Directional Design

The bi-directional design allows for the uninterrupted descent or rescue of several people. Both ends of the rope can be used for descent, enabling continuous abseiling. This allows for quicker rescue.

High-Performance Rope

Designed for application on- and offshore, the highly robust kernmantle rope is resistant to wear, fire, saltwater spray, and high and low temperatures.

Customizable Rope

The rope length can be customized based on usage requirements.
