Descender/lift device operates in harsh conditions

Product Details Supplier Info More products

The Safescape Elite descender and lifting device operates in the harshest conditions, including wet weather and low temperatures, and complies fully with the EN 341:2008 standard for rescue devices.

Safescape Elite provides a safe and dependable solution to the problems of rescuing persons who have had an accident while working at height and of evacuating people in an emergency from high working places.

The EN 341:2008 standard sets out demanding tests such as 8,000m descent (16 x 500m) for 100kg load, maximum descent height of 500m and suitability for use in an emergency by two people weighing up to 250kg.

In addition, the standard provides optional test requirements – all of which have been met by Safescape Elite – for use in wet conditions.

Like all descender and lifting devices, Safescape Elite is intended for use only by appropriately trained persons.

The position and design of the hand wheel reduces swaying during lifting, while an integral centrifugal brake ensures that descent is smooth, vibration free and, at 1m/s, rapid.

The device also has an operating temperature range of -30 to 60C, allowing it to be used in all climatic conditions.

The Safescape Elite features robust construction and is manufactured throughout from materials that are highly resistant to corrosion and degradation.

As a result, re-certification is required only after seven years, reducing out-of-service time and total cost of ownership.

In addition, where Safescape Elite is used for training purposes, re-certification is only needed after descents totalling 3,000m have been accumulated.

Ideal for use in rescue situations on wind turbines, antennas, high-voltage transmission towers and cranes, Safescape Elite from Miller by Sperian is offered in three versions: without hand wheel, with hand wheel and with both hand wheel and ladder bracket.

A range of accessories is available, including rescue rope grabs, telescopic reach poles, work-positioning lanyards and edge protectors.

Sperian also offers complete rescue kits that include a Safescape Elite with hand wheel and ladder adaptor, an 80m rope, anchorage slings, karabiners, a pulley, an edge protector and a T-bar.

All of the items that make up this kit are contained in a waterproof rescue bag.
