HOW THE SYSTEM
*99* WORKS:
-
The System *99* PERSONNEL LIFTING-LOWERING RESCUE AND WORK ROPE TOOL KIT is the Most
Versatile ‘RESCUE and UTILITY-WORK SYSTEM’ available today.
-
The SYSTEM
*99* is a Mechanical - Advantage ‘Block-n-Tackle’ . . . Lifting
System . . . with a Constant-High-Percentage-Friction-Lowering-Brake. This is the Latest “EVOLUTION” of the Block-n-Tackle.
-
This Light-Weight, Compact, Universal System can be set up in a few
Seconds, and can perform a wide variety of functions.
-
One Person can
operate this system, raise-and-lower him/her-self . . . without the help of
a co-worker. Should an emergency situation occur . . . a top-side observer
/ worker can utilize the SYSTEM *99* to ‘RESCUE’ an incapacitated
co-worker. Additionally the SYSTEM *99* can be used to raise and lower
tools and equipment.
-
The
3.5 pound SYSTEM *99* friction brake head 'Block-Assembly'
consists of a 3.5" diameter by 2" deep
aircraft aluminum
Capstan-Roller-Drum . . . mounted on a 4.75" by 8.5" by 3/8"
thick aircraft aluminum backing plate with an off-set
bend . . . so it hangs straight under load . . . mounted inside the drum
is an “Anti-Reverse”
spin-lock, (Sprague Clutch). The rope containment area of the drum is
3/8" thick.
-
The Rope / Capstan / Drum / rides on a 3/4” steel carrying bolt, and is supported on sealed ball-bearings.
-
The System *99* utilizes our special ‘ISE’ series 3000 . . . 3/8”, (9.5mm), diameter
kernmantle, (core-sheathed), rope, which is wrapped 2.5 times around the roller-drum, (thus
creating 900 degrees of surface contact area). This special rope has a breaking strength of
6,000 pounds,
is decay, and rot resistant, and can with-stand temperatures in excess of
400 degrees.
-
The three
'Teflon' ® . . . coated rope guides located around the drum keep the
rope from tangling or overlapping . . . and tracking properly.
-
All the aircraft aluminum
components are coated with a 'mil-spec' coating . . . to resist
corrosion.
-
When lowering a person or object the roller drum automatically locks,
(in essence becoming a *BOLLARD* / or a *BITT*) . . . and the 2.5 turns, (coils), of rope, (900 degrees of surface contact
area), around the ‘stationary-drum’
provides a **90% to **95% friction braking action.
-
This means that 10 to
20 pounds of force on the free-side rope is all that is required to hold
a 200 pound load stationary . . . or control its descent.
-
If the rope is
wrapped 1.5 times around the drum, (540 degrees of surface contact area)
. . . a **55% to **60% friction braking action is provided. [**Braking
percentage based on . . . new / clean / dry rope].
-
When an object is being lifted / raised . . . the rope drum . . . on the
head 'Block Assembly' . . .
[Automatically-and-Instantly] - ‘Free-Wheels’, (Counter-clockwise),
which releases the friction braking action.
-
By adding the 'Tackle'.
. . (roller-pulleys) . . . to the load side – under the backing-plate – we are creating a
Block-n-Tackle. [A Mechanical-Advantage-Lifting-System].
-
The
90% - to - 95% friction brake is automatically and instantly
re-activated
whenever the operator stops pulling on the free-side rope hard enough to
make the drum turn.
-
Although
normally used vertically . . . this system can be used horizontally . . . or in a compound, (Horizontal to Vertical), application.
Our Stock # 2299 *Custom-Edge-Roller* is particularly useful for this.
AN ESSENTIAL
TOOL FOR ANY
STEEPLEJACK JØB!
