Following a change to the standard which is now EN 1496:2017 A&B, the Ridgegear RGR7 winch has undergone some improvements...and will now include an energy absorbing / shock pack for additional safety.
The RGR7 is fitted with an up / down clutch locking mechanism and is available in lengths of 15 and 50 metres. This unit has many applications such as confined space entry, manholes and chemical vessels
Manufactured from steel with a baked enamel finish, the RGR7 has a 50cm diameter handle turn - a full one handle turn will release approximately 48mm of cable therefore the operative can ascend / descend to safety most efficiently.
As most rescue systems lower the casualty, the RGR7 can also raise the operative to a safe area, if the area below is unsuitable. The RGR7 is primarily fitted to the RGR1 tripod, for use in confined space access when ladders or foot irons are not available or deemed unsuitable.
