The RescueHauler is the latest advancement in rope control technology, specifically designed to streamline rescue and lifting operations. It’s simple yet intuitive design makes it the ideal tool for professionals in demanding environments who require precision, safety, and durability during critical operations.
Why the RescueHauler Stands Out?
- Simplicity at its core – features a single cam design that provides precise control during lowering operations. This allows for smooth, predictable control, ensuring the safety of the operator and those being rescued.
- Enhanced safety features – Safety is paramount, and the RescueHauler’s dual braking system reflects that. The device auto-locks when the handle is released, while a progressive secondary brake activates if the handle is sharply pulled in a moment of panic. Unlike other systems that may require resetting after an emergency stop, the RescueHauler is intuitive and dependable in high-pressure scenarios.
- Built for aggressive environments – Designed for durability, the RescueHauler’s stainless steel cam offers high resistance to wear and corrosion, making it perfect for prolonged use in harsh conditions. A wear indicator on the cam surface provides a clear signal for when the device needs to be retired, adding an extra layer of safety.
Innovative Features for Optimal Performance:
- Tailored Rope Management – offers multiple tail rope positions, including an in-line option that reduces rope twist during long descents. This not only increases the longevity of the device, especially when used with dirty or gritty ropes, but also minimises wear on the rope itself.
- Handle Precision and Locking Functionality – has specific indexing to ensure it can be perfectly positioned for feeding rope out and to allow locking of the handle for efficient lifting and hauling operations. For hauling and lifting operations, the slide catch on the body locks the handle in the hauling position, eliminating accidental release.
- Mechanical Advantage – is compatible with a wide range of systems for mechanical advantage e.g. Hurricane, Vantage rescue pulley. This flexibility makes it an invaluable tool for complex rescue scenarios.
- Easy to Inspect, Clean, and Maintain – Unlike devices with numerous hidden and inaccessible small moving parts, the RescueHauler interior can be easily accessed to inspect, clean, and service. It’s designed for rugged environments—whether you’re dealing with slopes, dirty, or muddy ropes, this device is built to perform without compromising safety.
- Mis-threading Protection – has enhanced mis-threading protection where the cam locks if the device is threaded backwards in lowering mode, providing additional safety for the user.
High Load Capacity
With a genuine 2-person load rating of up to 200kg, the RescueHauler is robust enough for two-person rescues without requiring additional friction components. It also has a wide operating range for single users, rated between 20kg and 150kg. It is suited for a variety of rescue and lifting operations.
