RR-405 RS1 Rescue Evacuation Descent Device 15 m

The PGTEC RR-405 RS1 is a compact rescue evacuation descent device, certified to EN 341 class A, that provides controlled automatic lowering of one person from height on a built-in 15 m descent line. The unit is housed in a rugged silver-grey aluminium case with a side carry handle and a navy webbing shoulder strap, and contains a sealed centrifugal governor, a drum wound with a high-visibility orange low-stretch rescue rope, a swivel top anchor hook and a lower rescue attachment carabiner. Once anchored at the top point, the RS1 pays out rope at a governed, near-constant speed of approximately 1.5 m/s for any load between 50 kg and 140 kg, allowing a worker or casualty to be lowered to ground without continuous hand control. Because the governor is fully enclosed, the RS1 can be left on standby on a building roof, wind-turbine nacelle, crane jib or industrial platform and relied upon in an emergency; it needs no power, no batteries and no regular setting-up. The 15 m rope length covers typical multi-storey window-cleaning and facade rescue scenarios, and the case can be mounted on a dedicated wall bracket for fixed installation. PGTEC supplies the RS1 with a visual inspection indicator, a serial-number plate, an instructions-for-use leaflet and a five-year guarantee. Typical users are building owners managing facade rescue plans, wind-farm operators, crane hirers, fire and rescue services, and industrial rope-access contractors who need a certified, maintenance-light evacuation option that can be operated by non-specialists in an emergency.
