Height rescue concept HRK

The height rescue concept HRK was originally developed for emergency rescue. In practice, the benefits of the HRK have also been demonstrated in work preparation. The HRK can be used to create rope access options in places that are very difficult to access. These include maintenance work on skylights and shafts (ventilation) at great heights, which are very difficult or impossible for workers at height to reach with a ladder.

The suspension rope and the safety rope are concealed in our HRK. When the HRK's release mechanism is activated, both ropes fall to the ground. The rope access technician/rescuer attaches his climbing aid to the suspension rope and attaches his fall arrester to the safety rope. The ascent can now begin. To speed up the ascent, we recommend using a "power seat". This speeds up the ascent many times over.

The opening electronics are based on our standardized FK12 electronic module platform and on the radio system developed by SVS Nachrichtentechnik. The FK12 module platform is characterized by extremely low-interference operation, enormous ranges (up to 800 m in free field) and high reliability. Audio signals and LEDs provide information on the transmission behavior and the supply voltages. Thanks to the programmability of the modules, transmitters and receivers can be individually "linked" to each other (e.g. one transmitter controls several receivers simultaneously).
