Heightec Duon Air Helmet - MH02O

DUON Air™ vented height safety helmet is a high specification helmet with dual certification, meeting both industrial and climbing standards.

It is the first height safety helmet to meet all of the technical requirements for working at height and confined space.

DUON helmets have a unique chinstrap buckle (see below) which can be switched between ‘strong’ and ‘weak’ to give conformity with either standard, allowing wearers to be fully compliant in complex environments containing different, changing hazards.

DUON is the only helmet that has full compliance with two European standards, EN 397 and EN 12492, having a special chin strap buckle with a variable fastening power and variable venting.

The DUON-Air vented helmet version has vents that can be switched to give conformity with either standard. All switching is carried out without tools.

Industrial safety helmets are designed to protect not only the upper part of a wearer’s head but also to provide lateral protection.

Advanced cradle design enables optimum comfort and sized to fit between 52cm to 66cm.

Features

• Switchable performance settings.
• Instant configuration.
• Variable ventilation system.
• Controllable buckle release force.
• Seven points of adjustment.
• Contoured for unhindered upward vision.
• Compatible with range of accessories.
• Full range of colours & bespoke sticker options.
• Replacement sweat bands and pads.
• Dual certification.

Compatibility

• 30mm ‘T-slot’ side fittings for standard ear defenders etc.
• Clips for elastic strap mounted lights, cameras etc.
• Brackets front and rear for popular cap lamps and other accessories.

Comfort

• Main adjustment to small/medium/large helps keep the helmet centred on the head.
• Fine adjustment by ratchet wheel, can be operated with one hand even whilst being worn.
• Headband height adjustment allows user to maintain field of view.
• 6 point head cradle for stability.

Performance

• EN397 (‘industrial’) has a weak chinstrap to prevent injury if the helmet becomes trapped in machinery etc. and small vents to prevent items such as sparks hitting the wearer.
• EN12492 (‘mountaineering’) has a strong chinstrap so the helmet stays in place in a fall – protecting the head, and large vents to help prevent workers getting too hot – an occupational health improvement.

Heightec Rescuepack Rescue System - WK32050 - 50m

Rescue system for recovery of suspended person by lowering/lifting.

The RescuePack is the most simple yet versatile award winning self contained dedicated fall arrest rescue system available. Designed to recover a suspended person from almost any fall protection system by lowering or lifting. Specialist in rescue of someone suspended on a fall arrest rescue system.

RescuePack delivers a mechanical advantage for lifting of around 3:1 by the use of the stainless steel HURRICANE. Rope device can pay rope out but lock when a load is applied. Hook can attach to D ring or harness shoulder strap if needed.

Telescopic pole extends for 3.5m to reach a casualty on an extended energy absorbing lanyard.

Fall Arrest Rescue System can be used in very constricted space and does not need anchor points to be placed in specific positions. HURRICANE pulley mechanism can be placed on the rope at any point for recovery.

Hurricane

• Unique, patented product available only from heightec.
• Alloy locking pulley for reliability and durability.
• Special cam X-Cam design is specifically for industrial or professional use and offers immediate purchase on the rope whilst minimising the potential for rope damage.
• Widely used in fire and rescue service and specially selected for use by all official UK Urban Search and Rescue Teams. Received innovation award by British Safety Industry Federation.
• The simplicity and compactness of the HURRICANE compared with other traditional systems is a major advantage in allowing non-experts to achieve the lifting of a suspended casualty.
• It is the only product to allow intuitive assembly of such a system. It can be attached at any point along the rope, even if it is loaded and the lifting system can be remote from the casualty, reducing the amount of rope required by 70%.

QUADRA rescue Life-lining and back-up device

• 4 different functions: Life-lining – controlling a safety line attached to a rescuer, Lowering – remotely controlling a load, Hauling – self-locking load raising, Descending – self lowering of operator
• Operator is able to change from one function to another instantly, while rope is loaded and without adding additional components.
• Patented double-braking mechanism increases friction under heavy loading and reduces rate at which friction is released.
• Folding handle design prevents accidental operation due to interference or poor rigging.
• QUADRA is rated at 200kg making it suitable for most rescue applications. It also has capacity to arrest a 250kg load at fall factor 1/3 without damage to rope and retaining full function.
• It has been developed with and is extensively used by UK Fire Services and other industrial rescue teams.
