RESCUE GEAR
Rescue gear is specifically designed to support complex rope rescue operations, ensuring the safety and success of responders in challenging scenarios. It includes dynamic ropes that possess high strength and stretch resistance, essential for withstanding heavy loads and providing reliable support during rescue operations. Harnesses are a vital component of technical rope rescue gear, offering secure attachment points for responders and enabling them to work comfortably at height. Furthermore, mechanical devices such as pulleys and ascenders aid in the efficient movement and management of ropes, enhancing the overall effectiveness and control of rescue operations.
As gear becomes worn due to constant use in extreme and rough conditions, and as technology improves, the team needs to replaced rescue gear at regular intervals to ensure the highest safety of the team and those being rescued.
