EN 12841 type C
Rope access descender for descent, ascent, hauling and rescue
Features:
· Simple and intuitive operation
· Built to withstand and work in dirty environments
· Service life cost reduction
· Multiple safety features
· High load rating
· 10.5-11mm ropes
Progressive handle operation and panic brake is more intuitive for users unlike devices that trip out.
Cam design provides precision control when descending, giving a safe and more predictable descent.
Suitable for use in more aggressive work environments (slopes, dirty, grit and muddy ropes for example) or if descending quickly past an obstacle.
Simple mechanism - fully accessible for inspection, cleaning and service. Less reliant on small moving parts than other similar devices. Wear indicator shows when device should be retired.
Choice of tail rope positions for different uses: In line (over stainless braking surface) reduces rope twist on long descents and increases device longevity on dirty ropes. OR Over front plate similar to other devices.
Enhanced mis-threading protection - cam locks if the device is threaded backwards,even if the descender is rigged for lowering.
The handle remains locked in the safe position for all functions other than descent. Reducing the need to manipulate the device for functions such as ascent and changeovers.
‘Genuine’ 2 person load rated for 200kg no extra friction required: Safer under pressure, no need for extra procedures or equipment for 2 person rescue.
