HFT Fire - Rope Rescue Winch

Go to http://www.hftfire.com for a full explanation of all products and services provided. Call (800) 656-1624

This is the world's FIRST ever hand operated Rope Rescue Winch that can be placed in service in mere seconds from any standard two (2") inch Slide Receiver Trailer Hitch assembly or identical anchor system found on today's fire apparatus.

If your familiar with a "Z" Rig configuration and a Three (3) Wrap Prussik knot, this short video will make all the sense in the world how easy it is to accomplish the difficult task to establish a Rope Rescue System as we know it today!

All my best!

What is the MA of this system?

[hftfire]

Please define the acronym "MA"

[hftfire]

The world's FIRST ever single operator Hand Rope Rescue Winch that utilizes the mechanical advantages of the Prusik and a fixed anchor that can be established in a matter of moments. SAFETY FIRST!

@hftfire mechanical advantage.

[frictionless1]

See the you tube video of the frictionless descender. Search for j-arms. This rappelling device will revolutionize the sport and rescue applications. There is always an easier solution.

It doesn't look like there is any MA unless you consider the leverage of the length of the handle that you are cranking. I wonder if you can effectively build this into a z-rig. Seems a little sketchy though. I like good old fashioned man powerdoing the hoisting.

The mechanical advantage. If a person apllies one pound of force to the winch, how much force is generated by the winch.
