The post Figure Of 8 With Ears appeared first on SAR Products.

]]> The traditional figure of 8 abseil/lowering device has been improved with the addition of ears, to prevent accidental rolling of the rope into a locked position.

Due to the rope twisting, it is not recommended for use with rope that comes straight out of a bag.

We strongly recommend that the Figure of 8 is used with a safety back up, for example a Rocker, or a Prussic loop.

Specifications:

  • Rated Strength: 35kN
  • Rope size: 9 – 13mm diameter.
  • Weight: 200g

The post A-B Descender appeared first on SAR Products.

]]> The A-B Descender is a multi-use device for industrial rope access, rescue and intervention/ tactical applications. It can be used as a personal descender, a lowering device, or for progress capture in a hauling system, as well as forming part of a rescue kit.

The handle can be used in basic squeeze to go mode, or it can be flipped down for extra leverage and more precision. The handle is spring loaded to return to the storage position when not in use.

The A-B features a Panic Grab Brake (PGB), which will halt the descent if the handle is pulled too hard. The PGB can be disengaged for experienced users, or for those who require a faster descent (eg. Intervention)

The A-B conforms to EN12841-C as a standalone rope adjustment device (descender). It also conforms to EN341/2D (descenders for rescue), which is for use as part of a system and must be used with the type of rope with which it was tested.

Specifications:

EN12841:

  • Max load: 150kg (max 200kg for rescue)
  • Rope: 10.5mm – 11mm diameter EN1891-A

EN341:

  • Min user weight: 40kg
  • Max user weight: 120kg
  • Rope: Specified 10.5mm to 11mm EN1891 (see user guide)Max 1x 200m descent (may be re-used following inspection)

Product Codes:

Gold A-B: RA002
Black A-B: RA002B
NSN: 4240-99-244-1085
