The Rollgliss™ R550 offers the choice of controlled descent rescue, evacuation or the versatility of assisted rescue with lifting capabilities. This state-of-the-art, fully automatic controlled descent device can be used for rescue and evacuation from heights up to 500 m (1,640 ft. ) for one user 141 kg (310 lbs. ) or 175 m (575 ft. ) for two users totalling 282 kg (620 lbs. ). It features 9.5 mm (3/8 in.) super static kernmantle rope, and is configured with connecting hardware at each end of the lifeline to operate in both directions.
