Tractel derope® T Rescue Device System

The derope® descent device utilizes 3⁄8 in. (9.5 mm) Kernmantle® rope that runs through a guarded rope sheave which is connected to a sealed centrifugal brake that limits the descent speed to 235 ft./min. (72 m/ min.). Snap hooks located at each end of the rope allow for multiple evacuations as the brake controls the descent speed in either direction. Dual descent pig tails and an intergraded jamming cleat give the user more control during a rescue. External cooling fins ensure that the unit is rapidly ready for consecutive descents.
