About Tractel®

Tractel® is a world leading safety specialist providing reliable, innovative and cost-effective working-at-height solutions and services. These solutions are used in many end-user applications, in particular in industrial, construction, energy, telecoms and infrastructure projects.

Rescue Equipment and Solutions

In high-rise buildings, on remote mountainsides, or in underground tunnels search and rescue teams, civil protection crews, and other brave individuals save lives every day in a wide range of situations. One thing remains constant in urgent emergency situations: having the right equipment makes all the difference.

Rescue Departments Needs

The needs of rescue departments vary depending on their size and location, the types of emergencies and natural disasters they respond to, and the specialized crews that are deployed.

But the need to intervene safely and quickly is constant, and lives always depend on having the right equipment and applying it properly.

Choosing The Right Equipment

Rescue workers are strong people, even so, the work they do routinely requires more than mere muscle power. The tools that rescue workers count on are portable, durable, and reliable, quick to set up and easy to operate under any conditions.

Hand-operated hoists, portable anchor points, lifelines, and specialized rope systems make it possible for them to perform tasks anywhere on an emergency scene, without the need for external power sources or complicated setup procedures.

Portable

It should be lightweight so it can easily be transported from a rescue scene to another one.

Quick to Set Up

It should be quick to set up and easy to operate under any conditions (even where electricity is unavailable).

Durable

It should be easy to maintain without complicated procedures, even under the harshest conditions.

Our Rescue Hoists

From lifting and handling heavy equipment and supplies in stations and garages to performing on-scene demolition and rescue work, hoists are indispensable tools teams need to have, use, and maintain.

Tractel® hoists and rescue kits are used by emergency teams, civil protection departments, and rescue workers around the world for multiple applications.

Equipment for Safe Descent & Rescue

For descent, fall protection, material handling, and victim retrieval operations, rescue work often require safety lines and anchor points capable of supporting multiple crew members and their gear. Available structures may not offer adequate support, so teams often must set up temporary anchorage, such as tripods, booms, or mast-style anchors.

Tractel® offers a range of safety lines and anchorage solutions for all rescue applications.
