Gemtor Arresting/Retrieval/Lowering Device

Gemtor Arresting/Retrieval/Lowering Device

Multi-function fall arrest/retrieval device helps protect
a worker from falling and has an integral winch mechanism that allows a worker to be raised to the surface quickly and easily. Attaches to any Gemtor Tripod, Quadpod, or Davit with quick-insert locking pins or can be hung from overhead using an optional carabiner. Features include a large, rubber-coated knob which makes engaging and disengaging retrieval mode an easy, one-hand operation. Precision internal components and a strong, weather-resistant cast aluminum housing ensure reliability and dependability. The Model # RS3 has two independent braking systems: an energy absorbing centrifugal brake arrests a fall softly within 24"; a friction brake activates immediately when raising or lowering is stopped and holds the load in place.

The unit is supplied with 3/16" diameter galvanized or stainless steel cable lifeline in 50' or 100' lengths and has a permanently attached locking swivel snaphook for connection to a full-body harness.
