Lifeline Information
The 3M™ DBI-SALA® Rollgliss™ R550 Rescue and Descent Device is made with powder-coated steel and attaches securely to ladder rungs with a fast and simple detent-style mounting system. It features a built-in adjustment handle to accommodate various rung spacings and a detent pin that secures the ladder to the bracket for user-friendliness. Made from powder-coated steel, the device is designed for enhanced durability and strength, making it suitable for transportation, utilities, and general industrial applications. The bracket weighs 2.5 lbs (1.1 kg) and has a weight capacity of 310 lbs (140.6 kg). Additionally, some models include a rescue wheel made from Supertough® nylon, which is ergonomically designed for improved control and reliability.
During assisted rescue scenarios, a fallen worker can be attached to the R550 device, raised to a height that allows for the removal of their fall arrest device, and safely lowered to the ground. This essential rescue tool is a key component of the emergency kit.
