SALA EN360 and/or EN341 Automatic Descender Blocks

Exclusive design provides both fall arrest with assisted rescue capabilities and automatic self rescue for ultimate versatility. When in Fall arrest mode, the Unit stops falls within few decimetres and limits the forces to 6kN for less for added safety. Features Assisted rescue procedures can then be implemented either at the mode selector or remotely with a First-Man-Up™ pole. Self rescue mode automatically lowers the user to the next level after a fall. Lightweight and long lasting durable reinforced plastic housing. Incorporates a built-in carrying handle for easy transportation. 15 m cable extends and retracts automatically enabling the user to move around the work area protected. i-Safe™ Intelligent Safety System is built-into every unit to track inspections, control inventory and manage information. Designed to meet worldwide standards including CE EN360 and EN341.

Exclusive design provides these Sala sealed blocks with both fall arrest with assisted rescue capabilities and automatic self rescue for ultimate versatility. Built-in rescue device becomes integral part of a rescue plan. It includes standard fall arrest mode, automatic rescue mode, remote/assisted activation, retrieval models (Built-in emergency retrieval winch for a raising and lowering personnel), easily engage in and out of retrieval for fast and efficient operation (Handle stows out of the way). Input crank handle has a primary brake which will prevent movement of load upon release of handlebracket. Optional bracket makes any Sala sealed block attaches to tripods and davits quick and easy (no tools needed).

In the event of a fall, the descender function is automatically triggered after just a few centimetres of descent. The device then functions as a powerful restraint force, like an automatic descender or an evacuation tool. The person connected is then lowered automatically at a constant speed (from 1.5 to 2m/s) to the ground. Unlike descenders or evacuation devices, the tension of the retraction spring is that of a normal fall arrest block relight. This allows the user to easily work unhindered; the cable accompanies his movements whilst maintaining a slight tension. Technical features - Housing: cast aluminium. Housing cover: stainless steel. Handle: stainless steel. Hardware: stainless steel. Retraction spring: carbon steel (100% protected from the elements). 5mm diameter cable: galvanized, construction 7x19. Available as 15m only.
