The D5 Rescue Descender is suitable for industrial height safety, rope access, edge management, arborists and search and rescue.
It is a double-stop device with an auto-lock function which activates when the handle is released or as a panic brake.
When loaded, the side plates cannot be rotated open due to the positioning of the karabiner and the push button safety closure.
When setting up, the D5 Rescue Descender is easy to attach or detach from rope without disconnecting from your harness. The rope can be back fed to allow smooth ascending or for emergency hauling when used as part of a 2:1 'Z-rig'.
A 360-degree rotating handle clicks when engaged to the mechanism. Suitable for use with 12.7 - 13 mm EN 12841:2006/C approved low-stretch kernmantle rope.

This is the third KATT portable ladder support bracket I have purchased from Absafe. The other two were for wall fixing, whereas this one is for roof edge fixing. It is made of aluminium plate to be compatible with Zincalume roof sheeting. I have had it powder coated to match the roof sheeting and for added corrosion protection. Superb design and quality at a reasonable price from Absafe. Ordered online. It arrived in no time, well packaged, complete with Allen key! Thanks to Absafe. Robert, Charlestown NSW
This is a serious value-for-money bit of kit. If you’re new to roof safety, a conscientious DIYer, or a veteran who needs some new gear - this is probably for you! If you need a rescue system after a fall, you’ll need more than this kit.
