The poles smooth turn lock functionality allows it to easily extend, retract and safely lock off in sections from 1.5 to 3.8 metres in length to suit your rescue scenario, 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.
