Rescue descent device with hoist and handle

The device is a controlled descent system designed for safe evacuation from elevated positions. It includes a hoist mechanism and a hand-operated handle for smooth operation. The system allows a single operator to lower a person or equipment under gravity with precision. It is built for reliability in demanding environments where standard fall arrest may not suffice.

It protects against uncontrolled falls and injury during rescue or evacuation scenarios. The centrifugal braking mechanism ensures a steady descent speed, reducing impact and sway. This helps prevent secondary injuries during lowering operations. The design minimises oscillation, making the process more stable and comfortable for the person being lowered.

Commonly used in industrial settings, construction, wind energy, and telecommunications where work at height is routine. It supports evacuation from structures, towers, or platforms when normal exit routes are unavailable. The device is suitable for both training exercises and real emergency situations. Operators can manage loads within the specified range using the hand wheel and brake system.

• Controlled descent speed of approximately one metre per second
• Hand wheel placement reduces sway during lifting and lowering
• Supports descent of loads between thirty and two hundred fifty kilograms
• Meets recognised international safety standards for descent devices
