FAVORIT ABS 3a W + FAVORIT ABS 3a WH

Automatic abseiling device

The FAVORIT ABS 3a W and FAVORIT ABS 3a WH are the ideal partners for self-rescue, evacuating people one by one and for training measures.

Specifications

Certification: EN 341:2011/1A, EN 1496:2006/A (ABS 3a WH only), ANSI/ASSE Z359.14-2013,
Max. Nominal load: 140 kg

The FAVORIT ABS 3a W has been developed for abseiling rescue operations for 1 person.

It abseils at a constant speed of max. 1.5 m/s, without any actuation by the user. It can also be used in pendulum mode (alternate abseiling). Thanks to the centrifugal force-controlled brake, the device maintains a constant speed during the entire abseiling process and thus enables fast and safe rescue during evacuation measures using the pendulum abseiling method. The abseiling speed can also be influenced on the counter-rotating rope using the deflection points on the device.

The FAVORIT ABS 3a WH also has an integrated lifting function with switchable backstop, making it the ideal partner for passive rescue of people suspended in personal fall protection systems.

For passive rescue, the rescuer operates the device in a secured standing position. With the rescue lifting device in conjunction with the WWS pulley, the casualty is lifted gently using the rope. The activated backstop automatically prevents the casualty from sinking back into the original position during the lifting process. After the lifting process, the rescuer unhooks the fall arrest system on which the casualty is hanging, switches the backstop to freewheel mode and starts the abseiling process.

Construction:

  • Aluminum device - extremely robust and yet very light (1.2 kg)
  • 10.5 mm sheathed-core rope in accordance with EN 1891 A - very resistant and durable
  • Ball-bearing swivel on the housing - device can still be rotated even with maximum load
  • 1 encapsulated centrifugal brake
  • Unique design of the pulley (WWS - wave-wedge shape) - particularly gentle on the rope
  • 2 deflection points on the device
  • Lifting device consisting of a closed handwheel with fold-out handle
  • Switchable backstop - left, right and middle position
  • Dimensions: 160x90x70mm (ABS 3aW), 200x200x120mm (ABS 3aWH)
