Inertia Reel With Retrieval Rescue Winch to EN360 and EN1496
These are fall arrest inertia reels manufactured to EN360 / EN1496 are fitted with an integrated rescue handle to enable rescue of the casualty after the fall has been arrested. Retrieval blocks are often fitted to confined space tripod systems though are also often used as a standalone fall arrest and rescue system. Having the winch built into the inertia reel means that the user has a rescue plan already in place and therefore complies with the working at height directive. Fall arrest inertia reels reduce fall distance compared to many other fall arrest systems. Reduction in fall distance means less chance of injury to the casualty and an easier rescue. Our retrieval blocks are offered from top quality manufacturers including Tractel, Sala, Miller, Yale, Ridgegear and many more. Some are sealed for offshore / outdoor use and others made from stainless steel. We also offer lightweight retrieval blocks and durable options for more aggressive environments.
Fall arrest inertia reels with built-in rescue winch/retrieval winch. We offer 15, 30 or 40 metre steel cable lengths from only top of the range manufacturers like Miller, Sala and Protecta. The cable can be deflected over a pulley wheel to achieve a safe anchorage point for the rescue/retrieval winch to be operated from.
A rescue block is commonly used in confined spaces with our tripod and man riding winch though have many other applications for providing fall protection with an integrated rescue plan, I.E. after a fall has occurred the winch would be used to perform the rescue.
The in build winch element can only be used for emergency rescue and must not be used to man ride a person (winched/suspended access and egress) for this you would need a ‘Manhandler’ dedicated man-riding winch.
