1.0 LYNX HOIST DESCRIPTION
The Rose Lynx Hoist is suitable for lifting, lowering and positioning either personnel or materials. It is
designed for use in conjunction with Rose anchorage connectors, fall arresters and other components to
make up complete systems for manriding, work positioning, materials handling, emergency rescue and
evacuation. Rose components are available to provide backup fall arrest for all such systems.
There are three standard Lynx Hoist types. They differ only in the configuration of their integral mounting
brackets. Two standard line lengths are available in either galvanized or stainless steel wire rope. Other line
lengths can be special ordered. All hoist models are equipped with an emergency drive and air drive
adapter. All standard Lynx Hoists can be retrofitted with these upgrades. The principle Hoist specifications
are present in Appendix A. A list of Lynx Hoist types and models is provided in Appendix B. Accessories
and companion products, including the Hoist air drive, are listed in Appendix C. All models meet current
regulations for personnel related mechanical devices.
The three standard Lynx Hoist types are:

• Figure 5: Boom-mount hoist with an extension frame and anchorage hook for installation on the Lynx
Tripod and a variety of other suitable anchorage connectors
• Figure 6: Socket-mount hoist for use with the Rose vehicle mounted davit
These three mounting arrangements may be interfaced with other anchorage connectors approved by
Rose. Additionally, custom anchorage connectors and mounting brackets may be obtained from Rose as
part of engineered systems for specific applications.
