DBI 8102001 SalaLift II Confined Space Retrieval Winch

Capital Safety 8102001 SalaLift II Confined Space Retrieval Winch

The Capital Safety Salalift II Confined Space Retrieval Winch is a manually operated winch used to raise or lower personnel and materials from confined spaces or holes. Gear ratio is 6:1 with an average lifting speed of 12.75 ft/min. (no power source required). To operate, simply rotate the handle in the desired direction, to pull up or lower down.



 

The standard model 8102001 comes with 60 feet of 1/4 in. galvanized steel cable complete with the DBI "quick-mount" top-mounting bracket and a carrying bag. The bottom or base mounting bracket must be ordered separately to fit the application. This lightweight design weighs only 35 lbs.



 

A "free-wheel" mode is an operator-activated feature that allows the drum to rotate and cable to pay-out freely as the attached worker descends into the space or moves about within the space. In this mode the handle remains stationary. This "free-wheel" mode has a built-in over-speed brake with energy absorbing capacity (similar to self retracting lifelines), which provides secondary fall protection and added security. Operating the handle automatically puts you back in control. The built-in overload clutch automatically slips to prevent severe overloading or damage. This also helps prevent injury to entangled personnel while raising them back up.



 

The housing cover is made from a corrosion resistant, durable medium density polyethylene with a built-in ergonomic carrying handle. The housing material reduces weight and will not dent or corrode like other metal housings. The inner workings of the winch are also built to last, with anodized aluminum side plates, zinc plated gears and shafts, stainless steel springs and aluminum drum for superior dependability.



 

The swiveling self-locking snap hook provides a secure connection to the person or load and prevents the cable from twisting for a much smoother operation. An impact indicator enables the user to visually see if device has been impact loaded, in which case the unit will need to be sent into the manufacturer for inspection. A back up lifeline system allows the brake to activate and absorb energy if a fall occurs at the end of the lifeline travel. The SalaLift II meets or exceeds all industry regulations including OSHA and ANSI.
