Choosing descenders for the application
Descenders are used within suitable rope-access, evacuation and rescue systems. Product choice depends on the rope or line, user and load, intended descent method, compatible connectors and the wider system in which the device will operate.
Application
Tell us whether the requirement is for access, controlled descent, evacuation or rescue.
Rope and system
Provide the rope specification and details of compatible harnesses, anchors and connectors.
Users and environment
Include the expected user or rescue load and any environmental constraints.
Descenders enquiries
What should I send when enquiring about a descender?
Provide the intended use, rope specification, user or rescue load, existing equipment and any required product reference.
Can you help with a complete rescue equipment requirement?
Yes. Send the task, access arrangement and rescue plan so the team can discuss compatible equipment rather than treating the descender as an isolated component.
Send the application details you have and the Durham Lifting team can review what is needed for a quotation.
