KStrong Automatic Controlled Descent Rescue Kit
KStrong Automatic Controlled Descent Rescue Kit
The KStrong Controlled Descent Rescue Kit is a complete rope rescue and escape kit built around an automatic controlled rate of descent device, so a casualty is lowered to the ground at a safe, constant speed. Three kit families cover different needs: the Self Evacuation Kit is a single user 50 metre escape kit with a rescue triangle; the Evac Mini is a one person kit with descent up to 250 metres; and the Evac-R is a multi person kit rated for up to three people to EN or two to ANSI, with descent up to 500 metres and a drill assisted option for repeated raising and lowering. Each kit is supplied on a kernmantle rope with the descender, connectors and a carry bag, and meets EN 341, EN 1496 and ANSI Z359.4 for rescue.
