The compact energy
absorber can withstand user loads of up to 220 kg. The high load
capacity enables users to work with heavy equipment and offers an
additional reserve for rescue situations where users need to bear the
weight of the person in need of assistance on their own system. At 4 kN,
the maximum impact force is significantly lower than the legally
stipulated maximum of 6 kN. The window makes it possible to visually
check the intactness of the energy absorber at any time.
The specially designed DEFUSER energy absorbers type RESCUE S and RESCUE L
may be used exclusively with the guided-type fall arrester FUSE: They
are light, compact, and the maximum arrest shock is 30 % below the
standard.
