The Pelsue PHQR Quick Rescue Hoist is built for the moment a worker needs to be rescued but isn't already clipped into a hoist or SRL. Instead of a rope permanently fixed to the drum, a rope-gripping cleat lets the rescue line be placed and tensioned at any point along its length, no time lost taking up slack. This also solves a specific roadside-vault problem: since the entrant isn't tethered to a fixed external point, a passing vehicle striking the equipment won't drag the worker. This model loads rope on the underside of the drum, with the drive handle on the left, and ships without a rope or hook assembly.

Specifications:

• Man-rated to 310 lbs. (capacity valid only when there are 4 complete wraps of rope on the drum)
• 5.5:1 gear ratio, single speed drive
• Retrieval rate of 23' per minute
• Secondary centrifugal "overspeed" brake
• Double pawls on the friction brake eliminate the risk of free-wheeling
• Low wear, high-temperature brake pads require minimal maintenance
• Anti-friction drive bearings for trouble-free continuous use
• Slip clutch drive prevents back-winding of the cable drum
• Zinc-plated and anodized aluminum components resist corrosion in harsh environments
• Removable drive handle with speeder knob
• Gear teeth cover
• Equipped with a standard Pelsue Quick-Release bracket (#501073-001) for mounting
• Soft-sided carrying case included
• Weight: 21.5 lbs. (per Pelsue's published spec; First Place Supply's site has listed this as 22 lbs.)
• Designed and tested as a Mechanical Retrieval Device per OSHA 1910.146 and ANSI Z117.1
• Rope material: Technora® synthetic rope only, max 70', wire rope cannot be used on this series

Note: An additional bracket is only required if mounting to a LifeGuard System, Davit System, or Rescue Tripod, MB-PF1 for LifeGuard/Davit, or MB-TL1 for the Tripod. The hoist's built-in Quick-Release bracket handles direct mounting otherwise. Using an incompatible bracket voids the hoist's rated capacity.

Note: An independent lifeline (Standard or 3-Way SRL) is required alongside this hoist for OSHA compliance; the hoist itself is a retrieval device, not a fall-arrest lifeline.
