Heightec Quantum rope access back up Device
01 Overview
Heightec Quantum rope access back up device -A simple high performance rope device designed for rope access and the renewables sector.
The Heightec Quantum rope access back up device arrests a 2 person fall without damaging the rope. The unique Cam grips the rope in tow places preventing damage associated with the single loading point found on other similar devices.
It has minimum slippage during arrest on all rope types therefore minimising the fall distance and it does not damage the sheath - even on old or dirty rope.
The opening catch means that the device does not need to be detached from the lanyard to insert or remove rope.This not only simplifies the operation but also removes the risk of dropped objects during mid rope manoeuvres.
The cam prevents rope damage so no additional shock absorber is necessary. The Quantum can be attached to the harness via the cowstail or short webbing link.
The maximum lanyard length 0.45 meters up to a fall factor of 2 or lanyard length 0.9 meters which has a fall factor of 1, does not require additional energy absorber.
All component parts are visible and accessible making the device easy to inspect and maintain.
The Quantum contains high strength alloy with stainless steel friction surfaces for reduced wear and consistent performance.
Suitable for two person use
The Quantum rope access back up device is part of Heightec's rope access kit (WK22)
