DEROPE™ – Controlled Descent Device

The Derope™ descender is a controlled-speed evacuation device. It is designed to evacuate either one person (up to 150 kg) for a height of up to 400 meters or 2 persons (up to 225 kg) for a height of up to 200 meters. The system allows for sequencing several consecutive round-trip descents, thus making it possible to descend groups of persons, while monitoring the maximum number of
consecutive descents authorized.

The Derope™ descender is designed for use on sites located at heights which could require emergency evacuation, such as wind turbines, aerial cable cars, derricks, etc.

The DEROPE™ was developed for evacuation and rescue purposes applicable to heights or confined space situations. The method of the DEROPE™ is simple and safe, with one end in use during evacuation, whilst the other end rides up into position for the next evacuation. With the simplistic nature of the DEROPE™ and its uses, training knowledge retention proves high in comparison to other traditional rescue methods.

In rescue operations the DEROPE™ can evacuate a person from high elevations, in a controlled descent using a centrifugal brake. If it is not possible to bring a person down, then the evacuation can be done on a positioned angle between 30 and 60 degrees on a cableway, tagline or up with the hand crank.

The Tractel® Derope™ range can be used at temperatures between +50°C and –35°C.

The Derope™ descenders are also intended for use by rescuers in hazardous environments, in particular the Derope™ UP A – UP B – UP K – UP R versions which are equipped with a winch for rescue by upward evacuation.
Derope™ UP A is a descender equipped with a rescue winch enabling upward and downward evacuation.
