Heightec D701 TORNADO | Lifting & Lowering Device

Product Description

The TORNADO is a compact and highly efficient lifting and lowering device designed for controlled movement of light to medium loads. Ideal for use in rescue, work-at-height, and rope-based operations, it integrates a sealed one-way bearing system that enables smooth lifting with minimal friction and secure lowering with automatic locking.

When lifting, the main cam rotates freely, functioning as a pulley to reduce resistance. During lowering, the cam locks to provide controlled descent. The rope can be installed while the device is connected to the anchor point, minimizing the risk of dropping.

Lightweight, reliable, and easy to operate, the TORNADO is a valuable addition to any lifting or rope access system.
