KStrong Brute Stainless Steel Retrieval Block, SRL with Rescue Winch
KStrong Brute Stainless Steel Retrieval Block, SRL with Rescue Winch
The KStrong Brute Type 3 Stainless Steel Retrieval Block is a self retracting lifeline with an integrated manual rescue function. In normal use it works as an automatic retractable fall arrest block on a 4.5mm stainless steel wire rope, rated for a 140kg user with a 15kN minimum breaking strength. If a worker needs to be recovered, a locking pin switches the unit between fall arrest and rescue mode, giving manual hoisting and descending so the casualty can be raised or lowered to safety. It is certified to EN 360:2023, EN 1496:2017 Class B and AS/NZS 1891.3:2020.
Availability: This item is made to order. Typical lead time is approximately 3 months. Contact us to confirm delivery timing before ordering.
This is the stainless steel wire version of the Brute retrieval block, with a stainless steel ANSI swivel snap hook with fall indicator at the attachment end and a stainless ANSI steel karabiner at the anchorage end. A hydro seepage system allows water to drain from the block, and the high impact polymer casing includes an ergonomic carry handle, swivel anchorage eye and a QR code for identification and service history. Available in 18m and 30m working lengths, typically mounted to a tripod or davit over a confined space entry point.

Product Documents
How does the rescue winch function work?
A locking pin engages and releases the change between fall arrest and rescue mode. In rescue mode the block provides manual hoisting and descending, so a suspended worker can be raised or lowered without a separate winch.
Is it suitable for confined space work?
Yes. It is a Type 3 retrieval block certified to EN 1496:2017 Class B for rescue lifting as well as EN 360:2023 and AS/NZS 1891.3:2020, and is typically mounted to a tripod or davit above the entry point.
How is it different from the standard Brute retrieval block?
This is the stainless steel wire version. The lifeline is stainless steel wire rope and the end hardware is stainless too, with a stainless ANSI swivel snap hook with fall indicator at the attachment end and a stainless ANSI steel karabiner at the anchorage end.
