Description
The P+P RescueRiggaMK2 Kit is a pre-rigged rescue kit developed for
remote capture & retrieval of a suspended casualty. In most cases a
suspended casualty can be rescued without the need to climb.
The effective rope working length is not affected by the pulley system
and a 50 metre standard system gives an operational recovery length of
approximately 50 metres.
The RescueRiggaMK2 Kit comes complete with a 3.5m Remote capture
Pole & P+P Super Clip. This effective ‘Z’ rig system incorporates a ‘Lory’
Descender. 2 single pulleys are mounted on a ‘Paw plate’, with Jammers
fitted to the rope to assist in lift recovery. The innovative 9:1 pulley
system allows the casualty to be either raised or lowered to a safe
position.
Function
The P+P RescueRiggaMK2 Kit must be used with a full body harness to
EN361 to provide a rescue recovery system
.
P+P recommend that users are trained in the proper use and
practical/physical limitations of this system. Equipment specifiers / users
must ensure this system is used with compatible ropes and connectors.
Failure to ensure compatibility may result in an unsafe condition or even
connector/link failure.
