FallTech Rescue and Descent Crane Kit with Sealed Barrel
7/16" sheathed-core kernmantle rope lifeline resists moisture and abrasion for longer life. Integral triple-mode lifting capability includes handwheel, ratcheting handle and power drill adapter.
Telescoping Ratchet lifting handle adjusts from 12" to 18" for unmatched rescue lifting leverage. Bi-directional design provides shuttle operation for multiple successive descending users.

Who Needs This Product
Safety managers standing up a rescue plan for towers, plants, and confined-height work buy a complete rescue and descent kit so the capability arrives in one package: descent device, rated kernmantle lifeline, connectors, and jobsite storage. The triple-mode lifting capability raises a casualty to release a snagged connector before lowering, which is the move most fall rescues actually require.

Staged means ready. OSHA 1926.502(d)(20) requires provisions for prompt rescue wherever fall arrest is used. A kit locked in a distant conex is not prompt. Stage this kit at the work area, train the crew on it, and inspect it on schedule.
Compliance Standards
ANSI Z359.4-2013
Applicable requirement for this equipment: ANSI Z359.4-2013.
OSHA 1926.502(d)(20)

Typical Applications
How to Use
Follow the FallTech instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Stage the kit. Keep the kit at the work area, sealed in its barrel or bag, ready for immediate deployment.
- Anchor the device. Connect to a rated anchor above the casualty per the rescue plan.
- Lift to release. Use the handwheel, ratchet handle, or power drive to raise the casualty enough to disconnect the loaded lanyard or SRL.
- Descend under control. The centrifugal brake lowers at a constant 2.6 ft per second.
- Shuttle for multiple users. The bi-directional design lets successive users descend alternately on each rope end.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect the kit on the schedule in the manual and after every deployment or training use. A competent person inspection is required at least annually.
- Rope: full-length check for cuts, abrasion, and sheath damage.
- Device: brake function test, lifting modes engage and hold.
- Connectors: aluminum alloy hardware free of cracks and gate damage.
- Storage: barrel seal or bag intact; contents complete and dry.
Retirement triggers: any emergency use of the lifeline, failed brake test, or rope damage.
