Emergency Escape Descender

The device is designed for use on elevated work platforms such as cherry pickers, boom lifts and man baskets. It enables safe and controlled descent when the platform experiences a malfunction or requires emergency evacuation. The system includes a kernmantle rope with a karabiner and hammerlock for secure attachment. It meets the requirements of AS/NZS1891:4 for proper installation and operation.

It protects users by allowing a controlled and self-regulated descent from height during unexpected equipment failure. The descent can be managed either by the user on the platform or from the ground using the controlled descent device mechanism. This ensures a safe lowering process without reliance on the platform’s primary systems. The device is intended solely for emergency or breakdown scenarios.

It is typically stored in a high-visibility orange drop box that is reflective for easy location in low-light conditions. The rope length is 25 metres, suitable for most extended elevated work platforms. Installation involves an attachment eye and anchorage plate as specified in the relevant safety standard. Users must follow the manufacturer’s guidance for correct deployment and training.
