Who Needs This Product

Crews with a written rescue plan stock the accessories that make a rescue work in practice: a reach pole to bring a suspended worker's lanyard within grasp, a rescue ladder for conscious-victim self-rescue, straps and edge protection that keep the rescue rigging intact. These are the pieces that turn a plan on paper into minutes-not-hours response.

⚠

Accessories only work inside a plan. A rescue pole or ladder saves a suspended worker only when your written rescue plan names it, stages it at the work area, and the crew has practiced with it. Suspension trauma starts in minutes, so build the plan around speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a descent rope need edge protection?

A loaded rope over a sharp or abrasive edge is the top cause of rescue system failure. The stainless plate and rope guides carry the rope over the edge, and the 5 ft tether keeps the guard positioned.

Does it fit any rope?

The guides accept common descent and rescue lifelines including the 7/16 in kernmantle used in FallTech rescue kits, and the plate profile suits parapets, deck edges, and structural steel.

Is this part of a complete rescue system?

Yes. It complements a descent device and kit; your written rescue plan should list where each accessory stages and who deploys it.

What inspection does it require?

Inspect before each use for webbing, hardware, and function, with a documented competent person inspection at least annually, and after any rescue deployment.
