  • Topman can also use the hand brake if required.
  • As the trolley chair comes down, the other empty chair unit goes up.
  • The whole system does not require any external source of power such as electricity and is completely driven by gravity.

Application:

  • Emergency Escape Device is specifically designed to suit the requirements of oil rigs. However it can also be used for other applications which may demand similar escape facility at heights.
