Descenders

Descenders are as diverse as their intended use and can be roughly categorised as evacuation, rescue, work and aid devices. All devices have one thing in common: they are designed to offer the user the greatest possible flexibility, safety and comfort.
Evacuation devicesEvacuation devices are used purely for evacuating people from dangerous situations and are designed exclusively for abseiling from great heights.
Rescue devicesIn addition to the descent function, rescue devices also have a lifting function. This function can be used to rescue casualties from high or low positions. The lifting function can be operated using a hand wheel or ratchet.
Working devicesWorking devices are used for rope-supported work in high and difficult-to-access places. They are always used when rope work is to be carried out as planned.
Assisting devicesAssisting devices are used exclusively to support the user in their daily work and to maximize working comfort. They are not approved as PPE.
