SALA have Introduced the World’s First Twin Brake Rescue and Escape Descender.
Ideal for Tower Rescue – Crane Rescue – Rescue at Height
DBI-SALA’s Rollgliss® R520 is a state of the art, easy-to-use fully automatic controlled descent device with a dual braking system that sets new standards in
performance, rescue and safety. Unlike friction based descenders, it provides controlled descent self rescue regardless of the user’s weight for the evacuation
of multiple personnel, or the versatility of assisted rescue.
The Rollgliss R520 Rescue & Escape device can be used from heights of up to 150m from elevated work platforms (EWP’s), towers, cranes, buildings or
other heights. Its compact size allows the unit to be attached to the rescue box of an EWP basket, crane housing or other suitable anchorage.
