The Fall@rrest Full Rescue Tripod Kit with Harness, Block and Winch is a fantastic set up for making these situations safer and easier for all involved. The wearer of the included harness is lowered and raised with the winch and tripod, and in case of a failure, the galvanised steel arrest block prevents an accident.

Double-Protection for Maximum Safety
The winch that lowers a worker into a confined or smaller work space is designed to be really safe, but in the unlikely case of a failure, the webbing block provides another layer of safety. It's made of an incredibly tough galvanised steel for protection you can trust.
Arrest Block is Impact-Resistant with Fall Indication Patch
Surrounding the base of the steel cord is a powerful shock absorber with a built-in spring to greatly reduce the impact on your body in case of a fall. Not only will this Fall Arrest Block stop you from hitting any surface below, it will also make the sudden force of an arrest less painful. It also has a fall indication patch sewn in, which frays when exposed to significant force, making it clear when the cord is no longer effective and must be switched out.
Sit Strap and Back Support on Harness for Lasting Comfort
Being suspended can be tough on the body, especially on long days. The Fall Arrest Harness features a back support and a built-in seat strap to help reduce fatigue.
Extended Rescue Strap for Emergencies
As well as the standard dorsal and chest D rings, this harness features an extra rescue strap for emergencies. It has an extended length to make rescues easier, and a D ring at the end for easy attachment.
