APPLICATIONS
1.1
Purpose: The Rescumatic® Emergency Escape Device is used for automatic, controlled descent from overhead
cranes, towers, buildings or other heights. The system alternates from clockwise to counterclockwise from
descent to descent, thus allowing for multiple descents to occur. Rope lengths up to 1,000 ft (304.8m) (300 ft
[91.4m] in Canada) are available. The Snatch Block is used for angled descent when a vertical descent is
inappropriate due to fire, smoke, fumes, or other danger. See section 3.3 (C). The Rescue Cradle is used for a
rescue of an injured person. See section 3.4 (C).
IMPORTANT: The Rescumatic® Emergency Escape Device must not be used for fall protection. This equipment is
designed for EMERGENCY descent use only.
