ARK® Assisted Rescue Kit
The Tech Safety Lines ARK® Assisted Rescue Kit is a complete at-height rescue system designed to give a single trained rescuer the equipment needed to perform assisted rescue. Combining controlled descent with 4:1 mechanical advantage, the ARK® supports direct, remote, and pick-off rescue scenarios from elevated structures.
Why It's Used
An at-height emergency may leave a worker suspended, inaccessible, or unable to descend without assistance. The ARK® gives a trained rescuer an adaptable system for accessing the casualty, raising or transferring their load when necessary, and completing a controlled rescue descent without requiring a large rescue team.
Its adaptable configuration supports multiple rescue techniques, allowing one system to address different casualty locations and access challenges.
