Features & Applications
The D5
tm
Descender also has a double safety locking mechanism,
which means when loaded, the side plates cannot be rotated
open due to the positioning of the Karabiner and the push button
‘click-lock’ safety closure. The D5
tm
is easy to attach/detach
from rope without detatching from operators harness, therefore
eliminating the risk of accidental dropping of the device.
The D5
tm
is a featured product compliant with NFPA G and ANSI
Z359.4 for the North American Fire/Rescue and Tower Climber
markets which typically use 1/2” ropes.
It is also easy to back-feed the rope through the D5
tm
and therefore it can be used for smooth ascending or for
emergency hauling (when used as part of a 2:1 ‘Z-rig’).
A unique feature of the D series is that the handle rotates fully
through 360° and emits audible 'clicks' as an indicator to the user
of positive engagement of the mechanism.

tm
Work/Rescue Descender
The D5
tm
is a double-stop device with an auto-lock function which is
activated whenever the operator lets go of the handle and a panic
brake which is not overly sensitive in normal use.
