Watch the RescuePack TC rescue system video:
The RescuePack TC Tower Crane is designed to rescue a fallen person or casualty at high elevation.
It enables the recovery of a casualty, who is unable to help themselves, from a tower crane cab, jib or ladder by lifting or lowering.
At the core of the evacuation system is the ROTOR rescue and evacuation descender, an intuitive device which allows self-evacuation automatically limited maximum descent speed or controlled lowering or raising of a casualty. The ROTOR can control rope speed in either direction, meaning that repeated descents can be carried out in quick succession.
High rated load with long descent distance:
Load Max. descent distance Descent speed
140 kg 4500 m 0.7 m/s
200 kg 500 m 1.0 m/s
250 kg 220 m 1.7 m/s
The ROTOR can also lift in either direction using the ratchet handle supplied. This enables multiple evacuees to use alternate rope ends. With the locking mechanism engaged the load is held if the handle is released.
The ROTOR can change from lift to lower (and vice versa) at any point whilst under load.
Complies with requirements of Construction Plant Association.
Although designed for construction it can be applied to industries such as warehouse and distribution with high bay access and very narrow aisles.
