SAR Rescue Winch Ref:QW001
The SAR Rescue WINCH has been put together using an Anderson self tailing winch used for sailing and fitted to a light alloy bracket. It was first used as the winch in a portable working platform system developed by Aak in Norway for use on the North Sea Oil and Gas platforms.
The SAR WINCH and bracket have been made to fit in various positions on the SARQUAD. It can be used separate but this would need some training for the users.
The SAR WINCH can be used with 10.5mm to 12.5mm Kernmantle ropes. The lifting load is dependent on the type of rope and the number of turns on the capstan before fitting into the self tailing guide.
As a guide, using 11mm rope with two turns on the capstan, then during the third turn place onto the self tailing guide and into the gripping flange, the MAX Load it will take is approx 500kg.
At this load the rope will start to slip in the gripping flange so as not to over load the system.
One person can lift or lower two people easily.
Note:
There should always be a safety back-up system in place and a rope lock on the main rope i.e. SAR ROCKER. SAR Products Ltd strongly advise that users be trained in its many uses and learn about its physical strengths and weaknesses.
