Not for sale individually.

The MICRON self-evacuation descender allows a person to make a controlled descent from high level, using a unique, patented braking system featuring secondary panic lock.

The MICRON gives double action safety and fine control using a pre-loaded, high strength, heat resistant Aramid cord. The 100% Aramid construction of MICRON cord gives increased performance at high temperatures over Aramid mixes. (Non-Aramid components melt sooner, leaving the cord with reduced strength).

The MICRON can be used by anyone who works at height, but it has been specifically designed for the onshore and offshore wind industry.

Its compact small size (equivalent to 10 mm karabiner) provides full size functionality. The MICRON is lightweight and easy to carry on the harness as part of the full evacuation system.

Compatible with different sized anchor points.

  • Karabiner can be clipped directly into eye bolts.
  • Sling is suitable for passing through pad eyes or around small section steel work.
  • Cord can be choked around large beams etc.

The MICRON self-evacuation descender is only available to purchase in the i-Scape Personal Escape System (D33100). Small and light, the system can be carried at all times and can be used to lower or raise a casualty.

Pre-threaded, complete with attachment karabiners and prompt sheet. Packed and sealed in durable storage bag.
