Harken Wingman (NFPA G)

• Integrated Mechanical Progress Capture: among the first personal mechanical advantage systems to achieve internal, mechanical progress capture within the device itself—eliminating reliance on external prusiks.
• Ratcheting Sheave with Controlled Release Wing: a ratcheting sheave stops rope movement while a composite handle (“wing”) allows the operator to open or close the system under load for smooth, fine-tuned release.
• One-Handed, Fully Modulated Load Release: even under full load and with sheaves fully engaged, the system can be released easily and safely using one hand on the wing and the other tending the line.
• Ultra-Compact Form Factor: with a minimum overall length of just 8 inches, Wingman provides:
  • Increased clearance under tripods
  • Greater throw during pick-off operations
  • Improved efficiency in confined spaces
• Configurable Mechanical Advantage: can be configured as a 4:1 or 5:1 mechanical advantage system, making it versatile for a wide range of rescue and work-positioning scenarios.
• High Efficiency Ball-Bearing Sheaves: integrated ball bearings maximize efficiency for both raising and lowering loads, reducing operator effort and improving system responsiveness.

Common Applications:

• Technical rope rescue
• Pick-off rescues
• Adjustable directionals
• Work positioning
• Tripod and confined-space operations
• Industrial safety and access systems
