6 SAR HARNESESS RAPTOR 4 FULL BODY HARNESS RAPTOR 6 FULL BODY HARNESS KESTREL 2 FALL ARREST HARNESS KESTREL 4 FALL ARREST HARNESS Raptor 4 REF: H0030 Raptor 6 REF: H0031 Kestrel 2 REF: H0040 Kestrel 2 QC REF: H0042STDQC Kestrel 4 REF: H0043 Kestrel 4 QC REF: H0043STDQC The Raptor 4 & 6 full body harness has been specifically designed for rope access and technical rescue personnel who prefer a multi purpose full body without a restrictive chest strap. This approach comes from years of experience being suspended in harnesses and a different approach and attitude in the evolution of harness design. Modifications to the initial concept have been made over the years thanks to the constructive input from our world wide users. Side Shot Raptor 4 Technical Access Riggers Full Body Harness The Raptor, like the Merlin has the innovative pattern that includes two independent front waist attachments points in different profiles, this is so rope access and rescue technicians can utilise any type of rope descender without twisting the system. The Raptor 6 has two side D connections that fold back flat when not required for use. The harness also has sandwich closed cell foam formed and shaped pads for waist and legs giving superb comfort. Side Shot Raptor 6 Technical Access Riggers Full Body Harness The Kestrel fall arrest harness has been upgraded and now comes in two styles with three colour choices. The harness has a front and rear attachment point for fall arrest connection. We recommend the front be used for fall arrest. The side D s on the Kestrel 4 can be folded back when not in use, therefore reducing risk of inadvertent snarling. Quick clip buckles can be fitted on the leg straps and fixed padding can also be fitted to any of the Kestrel range when ordered. The padding is made of sandwich laminated foam to give added comfort when donning, this also makes the harness easier to fit as the padding takes any twists from the webbing. Fitting is normally wrap around but can be left fastened at the chest/sternum connection to give a quicker fitment. Shoulder adjustment buckles use two square link buckles and once adjusted to fit the user will not slip during everyday use. The leg connection is the standard square link and twin slot buckling system with a heavy duty elastic tidy for any excess webbing to be captivated and the alternative QC fitting also has an elastic tidy.

The fixed padding is made using 6mm closed cell foam and is fitted to the harness over the shoulders and back. The padding can not be removed from the harness. The Hawk sit harness has been created for military and mountain rescue personnel and those who require the security and durability of a very robust harness as an alternative to that of a rock climbing harness. Quality materials, design, construction and simplicity in fitting make this the supreme personal issue sit harness. The emphasis in design was placed upon strength, stability, light weight and comfort. The Hawk delivers in all these fields and is perfect for anyone who needs to hang around. The wrap around fitting is also ideal when wearing crampons etc, but if preferred you may keep the buckles fastened to give step in fitment. The Harrier sit harness has been designed for rope access and technical rescue service personnel who prefer a separate sit and chest harness format to that of a multi purpose full body harness. The Harrier, like the Merlin and Raptor has the innovative pattern that includes two independent front waist attachments points in different profiles so that rope access and rescue technicians can utilise any type of rope descender without twisting the system.

26 SAR BACK UP DEVICES ROCKER SAR BACK UP DEVICES Gold REF: RA003 Black REF: RA003B NSN: The Rocker is primarily used as a means of safety back-up in industrial rope access, fire service or technical rescue as a fall arrest device in the event of main line failure. It can also be used as a rescue back-up device for two people as the Rocker has been tested for this purpose using a 200kg mass in a fall factor two scenario. The test was undertaken using an 11mm 32plait low stretch rope and a 1M sling. The maximum impact recorded was 5.7kN, with a slip distance of 1.10M. The Rocker complies to EN353-2:02 EN358:00 and EN12841-A:06. We recommend it to be used with a 10 cm Rocker link sling with two Gator karabiners. This set up comes as a kit for use with the Rocker and we highly recommend it to be connected to the chest connection point on the harness. This would put the user in an upright position and is therefore compliant with fall arrest standards. It is for this reason it is also not recommended to be used with a long cow s tail from the waist connection point of the harness. This device can also be used in many other situations i.e. as a hauling/ pulley bake etc. The Rocker was confirmed in the U.K. H.S.E. industrial rope access investigation into items of personal protective equipment as the best performer and to have the highest degree of consistency. We strongly recommend that users be trained in use of the Rocker.

32 ROPE DOGS Rope dogs are a soft type of rope clamp used in preference to mechanical devices where some types of rope clamp will grip the rope until the rope sheath or mantle will rip or tear, the rope dog will slip, therefore being kinder to the tope it is attached to. This makes the Rope Dog ideal for tensioning systems where overloading would cause a system failure. The rope dog can also be off loaded and re-loaded whilst under tension. Our Rope Dogs are manufactured using 11mm nylon rope. This makes it ideal for use with a variety of ropes from mm in diameter. Correct loading of the Rope Dog is vitally important, if loaded too loose it will slip at lower loads than if loaded correctly. Specifications: Rope Dogs Sewn terminated eye Individual serial number per set. ROPE PROTECTORS Heavy Duty Rope Protector REF: RR020 Our heavy duty Rope Protector is made from high quality polyester. They are extra thick giving more protection over sharp edges than the standard Rope Protectors.

33 SAR STRETCHERS & ACCESSORIES We are always striving to keep at the forefront of development & design. As a result of this we have once again improved our EVAC body splint. The thickness of the lower outer skin has been increased to give more resistance to abrasion, whilst using a new lightweight material on the upper skin in order to maintain the overall weight of the item. We have also changed the head strap to give two fitting systems to give a firmer head restraint. The EVAC has a width of 68cm across both the shoulder and hip areas and is 205 cm long, giving more security and protection to the casualty. It has six horizontal lifting loops, three down each side, positioned along the main trunk/torso of the casualty. All the main casualty securing cross straps are of 50mm webbing with adjustable clip buckles. It has an integral body harness made from 25mm web with crutch padding and adjustable foot support with padding for extra security and to stop body slip when in a vertical or angular mode of lift. EVAC BODY SPLINT REF: ST003 The two main vertical lifting loops are positioned at the shoulder which gives a true vertical lifting position for the casualty. The head section can be formed into a cone to disperse debris when dragging through confined spaces. The strap holding the Body Splint in position when rolled has a fitted pad and can be used for a head restraint by threading it around the outer loops on the coned area. It can also be used as a lifting mat without the use of the straps. Two people can transfer a casualty from one flat area to another keeping the casualty in a horizontal mode. The lower outer material is made from orange flame retardant, heavy duty PVC reinforced nylon. The inner and bag are made from standard PVC reinforced nylon.

34 ALPINE LITE STRETCHER ALPINE STEEL STRETCHER ALPINE CR (Civil Rescue) REF: ST001L ALPINE MR (Mountain Rescue) REF : ST002L ALPINE STRETCHER CR (Civil Rescue) REF:ST001 ALPINE STRETCHER MR (Mountain Rescue) REF:ST002 The new Alpine lite stretchers have been designed with the ever growing population in mind. It is slightly larger all round and the section from the shoulders to the hips has been made parallel and the length has been increased by 10cm. The flat bed style of the Alpine lite stretchers gives excellent security for spinal injuries and makes the loading of the casualty much better than a basket type stretcher, allowing far more casualty care. The stretcher bed frame and skis are rectangular profile giving a higher strength than square section. All versions of the Alpine stretcher fold in half, ski to ski, to facilitate easy backpacking by one person, to reduce bulk on the carriers back and for economical storage. When the stretcher is opened to receive a casualty it is not reliant on the side locks to remain secure when in the horizontal position, however the locks are required when being used for vertical lifting, when sliding/sledging over edges or rough terrain. All Alpine lite stretchers have the same design of skis made from square tube and they are wider at the head/trunk end for more stability when sledging. The mountain rescue (MR) stretcher has a ski pan set between the head end skis for ease of sliding over rough terrain and snow, but more importantly to protect the casualty s back from rocks etc. Having skis under the stretcher is an added advantage over the basket type as they keep the casualty clear off the ground Specifications: Alpine CR Lite Stretcher: 11kg Lifting straps: 1.2M kg Length open: 210cm Length folded: 105cm Max width: 60cm Runner depth: 9cm Stretcher depth: 12cm Powder Coated Silver Metallic reducing the sensation of debris, rocks and stones etc. when being sledged. Also the ski sections have an added high grade polyethylene ski fixed to them as a protection for the alloy over rock, gravel or any other hard abrasive surface. The stretchers can be split if required for long carries into casualty sites but due to the lightness of the stretcher this is not always necessary. Both stretchers come with casualty securing straps and lifting straps, (MR 2 metres, CR 1.2 metres) and these may be used for lifting, winching, carrying, sledging or as pulling straps. Both come with storage bag that has a single padded shoulder carrying strap and outside pouch for inspection record card. Both will accept the fitting of carrying handles but on the MR stretcher they come as standard. Both will accept the fitting of the SAR wheel and head protection canopy. These must be ordered separatley. Both Stretchers Conform To: EC Declaration Of Conformity 93/42/EEC concerning medical devices. Article 11 (5) and annex VII Class 1 devices.

36 SAR QUAD POD & WINCH QUADPOD REF: QU001 SAR QUAD POD & WINCH The Quadpod is a multi adjustable portable anchor. It was designed to supersede the tripod design to provide more stability and reliability during a rescue situation. The Quadpod is now being used all over the world by many rescue organisations, military units and the UK coastguard. The Quadpod can be used in many modes and gives greater access to areas that tripods or other devices cannot access. The head of the Quadpod has multi-connection points, and up to two legs can be disconnected for special uses or transportation. It has been found that the need to have a 2.3m - 2.5m centre height for confined space rescue is not necessary when using the Quadpod. The extraction of casualties in body splints/stretchers once partially extracted can be brought out the rest of the way at an angle giving more casualty care, room and stability. The Quadpod comes complete with leg straps and a storage bag. These products can also be purchased separately.

37 The winch has been made to fit in various positions on our Quadpod. It can also be used seperatley from the Quadpod, however this would require training for the users. Our winch can be used with kernmantle rope size between mm. The lifting load is dependent on the type of rope and the number of turns on the capstan before fitting into the self tailing guide. WINCH REF: QW001 QUADPOD BAG REF:QU003 The Quadpod bag comes as standard when ordering the Quadpod. The bag has an adjustable strap for carrying over the shoulder and has two storage compartments for straps, documents etc. QUAD LEG STRAPS REF: QU002 The Quadpod leg straps come as standard when ordering the Quadpod. The straps are light to carry and pack into the bags side pouch. They are extremely fast to connect and have very fine adjustment. SAR QUAD POD & WINCH As a guide, using 11mm rope with two turns on the capstan, then a third turn placed onto the self tailing guide and into the gripping flange, the maximum load it will take is approx. 250kg. At this load the rope will start to slip in the gripping flange so as not to over load the system. One person can lift or lower two people easily. There should always be a safety back-up system in place and a rope lock on the main rope i.e. SAR Rocker. We strongly advise that users be trained in its many uses and learn about its physical strengths and weaknesses.
