SALA Steel Rope Auto Descenders

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.
