What’s included

• adjustable lifting strap
• adjustable victim strap
• one pair of ankle harnesses

How it works in the field

Used as part of a confined-space access or rescue operation, the system allows a rescuer to be lowered head-first into a space, then secure the victim and uplift both out of the space. The included straps and harnesses are designed to help stabilize both parties while maintaining control during ascent.

Because the system is small and compact, responders can transport and deploy it with relative ease, keeping essential tools within reach and leaving both hands free after securing the setup.

Key benefits in the field

• Leaves both hands free for other tasks during retrieval
• Compact design supports rapid deployment and easy transport
• Interoperable with common confined-space equipment like tripods and davits
• Head-first entry capability facilitates access to tight or vertical spaces
• Adjustable straps and ankle harnesses help secure rescuer and victim during ascent

Portability, compatibility, and build

This five-piece system ships with a durable storage bag, making it straightforward to carry between work sites. Its straightforward configuration is intended to integrate smoothly with existing retrieval setups, helping teams scale their confined-space response without needing a custom solution.
