Capital Safety Australia Rollgliss heavy-duty rescue pole

Capital Safety has launched its DBI-SALA Rollgliss heavy-duty rescue pole which has been designed as a high-strength alternative for use with the Rollgliss R250 Rescue Kit, or with a variety of peer rescue kits/systems during pick-off rescue operations.

Complete with its own carry bag for ease of transport, use and storage, the pole is lightweight and portable, and suitable for use in pick-off operations. The pole’s smooth turn lock functionality allows it to easily extend, retract and safely lock off in sections from 1.5 to 3.8 m, allowing the rescuer(s) to remove a person from danger without putting themselves at risk by descending down to them. Fitted with a sunrise end fitting, the specially designed adaptor holds the rescue hook in place; the rescuer simply hooks onto the suspended person’s fall arrest D-ring during rescue operations.

The heavy-duty construction and non-conductive elements of the pole are claimed to make it suitable for use around high- and low-voltage work areas.
