FK-512 KT3 Tower-Climber Rescue Kit

The FK-512 KT3 is PGTEC's tower-climber rescue kit, packed into a heavy-duty navy wheeled gear bag and configured for transmission-line, wind-turbine and telecom climbers who work alone or in pairs on lattice steel towers, monopoles and guyed masts and must be able to perform a suspended-worker rescue without waiting for the fire brigade. The bag contains a rescue descender device in an aluminium housing with a built-in descending brake, a 20 m coiled 8 mm kernmantle rescue rope, a chest-position harness accessory, a double-pulley rescue hitch, several forged steel carabiners and screw-gate connectors, and a small dedicated pouch for paperwork and rescue plan cards. The descender is designed for controlled lower rescue of a suspended casualty from a single anchor point, with self-locking behaviour if the rescuers hand releases, and the pulley allows a simple 2:1 haul system for raising the casualty back onto a platform. Together with the PGTEC FG1 guided fall arrester on the tower's vertical cable, the KT3 forms the on-board rescue kit that most transmission utilities and wind-farm operators now require on every climb. PGTEC supplies the KT3 with a rescue-procedure wall card, an inspection logbook and a five-year warranty, and offers train-the-trainer courses for rescue supervisors, making it the practical end-to-end answer for any tower-climbing contract that specifies self-rescue capability.
