Heightec D011 QUADRA | Rescue Device

Product Description

The QUADRA is a versatile rescue rope device designed for critical rope access and emergency operations. It performs four key functions—life-lining, lowering, hauling, and descending—with seamless transitions between each, even while under load and without the need for additional components.

At the core of the QUADRA’s design is a patented double-braking mechanism, which automatically increases friction under high loads while maintaining smooth operation and preventing sudden release. This system delivers outstanding control and safety, especially in demanding rescue environments.

Rated for a 200 kg working load, the QUADRA is robust enough for most rescue tasks and can arrest a 250 kg load at fall factor 1/3 without rope damage or functional loss—ideal for high-stakes operations.

Constructed from lightweight aluminium with stainless steel load-bearing components, the QUADRA offers corrosion resistance, spark hazard reduction, and reliability in extreme conditions. The device is fully visible and accessible, making inspection and maintenance quick and simple.

Designed in collaboration with UK Fire Services and widely adopted by industrial and emergency rescue teams, the QUADRA delivers trusted performance in any scenario.

Functions
