Automatic escape solution

Capital Safety, home of the DBI-SALA and PROTECTA brands of fall protection equipment, introduces the Rollgliss R550, a smaller, more lightweight escape solution that’s ideal for wind turbines. Offering fully automatic, hands-free descent, the Rollgliss R550 is a safe, easy-to-use rescue and descent system that requires minimal user training.

 

Made with lightweight yet durable cast aluminum housing, the Rollgliss R550 is currently the lightest, most compact unit on the market in its class. It features integrated rope ears for greater descent speed control in assisted rescues, as well as a dual-braking system for added security and safety during automatic descent. The bi-directional hub design allows the rope to descend from either side, bringing one hook up as the other goes down, so that the system can be used immediately for multiple descents. Rated for two-person loads—a total of 620 pounds—the Rollgliss R550 performs in a variety of situations, including an emergency descent or a full rescue using its built-in rescue hub.
