Vertical Rescue System

The VRS has been specifically designed to be used from the point of fall and not requiring the rescuer to go over the edge, which gives extra added safety.

When the faller is raised the rescuer has a 5:1 mechanical advantage which reduces the effort required. The upper pulley wheels lock when the faller is being lowered. This increased friction allows the rescuer to lower the faller effortlessly.

A rescue pole is used to 'fish' for the fallers' harness rear attachment point. The rescue pole is sturdy and adjustable. The rescue karabiner has a large opening which assists with locating the attachment point.

Trauma Straps

This new exciting innovation is simple yet effective for use in conjunction with fall arrest harnesses. It eases the discomfort to the user whilst suspended from a lanyard after a fall.

The leg straps of a conventional harness do not prevent the webbing straps from cutting into the groin area during suspension, and loss of circulation to the legs and feet is often likely. Standing on the Trauma strap relieves the pressure to the groin, and releases the tension within the webbing. The Trauma strap is fitted to the harness prior to use.
