SpanSet Gotcha CRD Controlled Descent Device
SpanSet Gotcha CRD Controlled Descent Device
The SpanSet Gotcha CRD Controlled Descent Device is an IKAR descender with an automatic speed regulator, lowering a person at a constant, safe rate of around 0.9 metres per second with no risk of an uncontrolled descent. It has an integral hoisting facility so a casualty can be lifted slightly to release their weight from fall arrest equipment before being lowered. This is the descent device on its own, offered in 50, 100 and 150 metre lengths to build into a rescue or evacuation set-up. It is certified to EN 341 Class A, with the Gotcha CRD range rated to a 140kg single or 225kg two person capacity. Confirm the length and the capacity for your intended use with your supplier before use.
