7/16" Extractor 4:1 Confined Space Rescue Kits

RescueTECH 7/16" Extractor 4:1 Confined Space Rescue Kits

FOR INDUSTRY - Easy to use. Meets OSHA 1910.146 Mechanical Retrieval Device. Meets ANSI Z359.1 vertical lifeline.

FOR RESCUE- Used as 4:1 Block & Tackle or "piggy-backed" onto main rescue haul line. Reduces training needs for mechanical advantage systems. Great re-direct pulley with built-in safety. NO loss of haul due to slack in prusik cord or external camming safety.

LIFTING SAFETY- Unit works as a hauling system with "deadman's" safety. Included safety pin holds cam in either open (rope will run freely in both directions) or in safety position. Rope will move in hauling direction only and cannot be removed or fall out when safety is engaged. Haul-Safe may be used horizontally and can be attached to a haul line to act as a 4 or 5:1 hauling system.

REMOTE LOWERING CAPABILITY- The attached cable allows remote control of safety cam. This makes it possible to place the haul safe unit where it cannot be directly accessed. The Extractor design provides over 135 degree of hauling line movement. It does not limit hauling team to standing "in-line" with the rope system. The pulley sheaves are equipped with Oilite bushings and will accept ropes up to 1/2" diameter. Tensile Strength: 10,000 lbf.

General Information: During normal use it should not be necessary to remove rope from the Extractor unit. If it becomes necessary, one should remove the secondary safety spring detent pin. With it removed, the plastic cam-opening trigger can be pushed up and forward enough to allow the rope to be removed from the safety cam retaining hook. The large securing carabiner can be removed and the pulley side plate revolved far enough to allow the rope to be removed. Replacement of the rope in the unit requires reversing this process.

CAUTION Before using this equipment always inspect the rope, harness, etc., for signs of deterioration or damage. If any part appears to be questionableDO NOT USE THE UNIT. REPLACE PARTS BEFORE USING. If you are unsure about the use or condition of this equipment, contact manufacturer before using. 1. Remove the Extractor unit from the storage case (leave the rope in the case to prevent contamination and tangling) and attach the Rigging Carabiner to a suitable anchor point. Attach the Offset D Steel Carabiner to the load. 2. To extend the lifting pulley and carabiner, carefully pull the wire cable to depress the spring-loaded cam away from the rope. This allows the rope to run free. It is not necessary to remove the secondary safety spring detent pin. As soon as you release the cam it will automatically return to the locked position. 3. Attach the carabiner on the lifting pulley to the load. This will be a designated lifting ring on a harness, H.D. Lifting bridle or other suitable Life Safety Auxiliary Device. NOTE: In some circumstances the person will be attached to the system before entering an area. If this is the case step 3 could precede step 2. 4. When lifting with the system, pull at an even rate. Avoid jerky movements. Because of the 4:1 mechanical advantage and high strength of the components a person may be injured if lifting is attempted when the person is caught or otherwise restrained. ALWAYS assign a rescuer to maintain contact with the victim to prevent such circumstances. 5. The unit should be stored in the retracted position. The lifting pulley should be next to the Extractor frame. This helps prevent tangling of the rope. Always check the equipment for signs of deterioration or damage before storage. Replace any portion that appears questionable.
