Controlled Descent Device

ABS3 WH 20 Rescue Kit Controlled descent rescue system with casualty lifting and remote reach capabilities; tested and certified in Germany to conform to the relevant European Standards. Designed for workers using full body fall arrest harnesses in conjunction with energy absorbing lanyards; retractable type devices or guided type fall arrestors they offer a compact, fully assembled and easily transported rescue from height solution. The kit contains: · IKAR ABS3WH controlled descent device with rescue lifting facility; · 10mm diameter kernmantle rope with small double action hooks at each end; · 1.0 metre webbing anchorage sling; · Small steel screw-gate karabiner; · IKAR extendable remote reach rescue pole; · Purpose made rescue tackle bag; · Information/instruction card. The ABS3WH devices have automatic speed regulation. The brakes are controlled by centrifugal forces which maintain a constant descent speed. An integral crank handle can be activated to disengage the automatic lower off, and by turning the handle the lifting facility is gained. The casualty can then be lifted up to the original work platform or once the casualty has been raised sufficiently to release the used fall arrest device, the automatic function can be re-engaged to allow the casualty lower off. By using the lifting and releasing rescue action, the ABS3WH Rescue Kits are “NO CUT” rescue systems.
