D5 Work/Rescue Descender
The D5 Work/Rescue Descender is suitable for industrial height safety, rope access, edge management, arborists and search and rescue.
It is a double-stop device with an auto-lock function which activates when the handle is released or as a panic brake. When loaded, the side plates cannot be rotated open due to the positioning of the karabiner and the push button safety closure. When setting up, the D5 Work/Rescue Descender is easy to attach or detach from rope without disconnecting from your harness. The rope can be back fed to allow smooth ascending or for emergency hauling when used as part of a 2:1 ‘Z-rig’.
A 360 degree rotating handle clicks when engaged to the mechanism. Suitable for use with 12.7 – 13 mm EN 1891 approved low-stretch kernmantle rope.

RED Back up Device
The RED Back Up Device is a simple, high performance back up device suitable for use by Rope Access technicians. Tested with 240kg, it is suitable for back up rescue loads.
The cam’s positive locking spring means the device is self-parking rather than self-tailing. The RED uses rotational braking so the more it rotates the more friction is built up, providing an automatic brake.
Supplied with either a fixed tow cord ‘Popper’ which will break away in a panic fall or fixed tow cord.

Sparrow Self Locking Descender
The Sparrow 200R the only manual descender in the market fully certified for two person rescue, not just in an emergency but on a regular basis. The improved Sparrow is designed for high workloads, allowing the operator to ascend, position and descend the working line.
Its EBS (Extraordinary Braking System) offers superior braking and the multi-functional handle with automatic return provides superior descent control but limits involuntary action. The floating cam design prevents accidental ‘reverse loading’.
- Assisted lowering of two people with the device installed at the anchor point (the operator lowers the rescuer with the injured person)
- Simultaneous descent of two people where the rescuer descends with the injured person
- For use with static and semi static ropes certified to EN 1891 Type A, 11mm
The Sparrow was designed to be used in conjunction with the Easy Speed fall arrestor.
