It is used mainly by the mountain rescue personnel when using the control at the casualty system but can still be used by those rescuers who are still using the control at the top system of rescue.

POLE SLING. Ref:S0017
The sling was first developed for climbing iced poles in Norway. It acted as a choker around the pole and has been a great success used in conjunction with an adjustable rope lanyard complying to EN358. The original sling was made from Troll 25mm nylon supertape then changed to SAR 25mm polyester Superweb.

It is now made from 30mm heavy duty polyester webbing with two reinforced eyes to allow a hook/karabiner to be passed through.

Its breaking strength is 40kn and can be used in many other areas of PPE. With EN354 and EN566 standards it has it can be made in any length up to 2M or as a loop of 240cm

It can be made larger but will only comply to the EN795 Class B as a portable anchor even though the static strength will stay the same at 40kN far stronger than is required at 15kN for EN795 and 22kN for EN354 & EN566.

Anchor sling, at 1M this is as a replacement for a wire sling when requiring and soft anchor. This Sling/Lanyard has an eye each end made from 30mm polyester and comforms to EN795 clss B, EN566 and EN354.
Its actual stick break strength is 45kN over twice the requirement of the highest of the EN standards. These can be manufactured in other lengths for special requirements.
