![]() Only two ropes are needed… granted, they need to accomplish the length of the angled drop (2x the length plus another 15 meters minimum).Hidden ContentĪdvantages to a skate block as the working line (as opposed to a hybrid system) are a few folds: The skate-block shown here a classic setup where the twin tracklines (TTRS) begin at the base where the tensioning/lowering systems are deployed and run up through change of direction pulleys and back down to the patient… there by completing the circuit and becoming “the skate block”. The monopod/gin-pole was guyed appropriately with a quad-guy pattern and the AHD was errored forward appropriately (following the guy plane and applied force angles). Our AHD (here a monopod/gin-pole) was placed at the top of the cliff in order to gain the necessary height to get past the edge and away from cliff face. In a trackline skate block system, the working line is the trackline in that the raise and or lowering system are all applied to the same system. ![]() Bi-Vocational lowering and progress capture type of device for the control center… like the Petzl I’d.An artificial high point like an Arizona Vortex, TerrAdaptor or SMC Vector.We have a ton of short clip videos and courses within both Rescue Response Gear and Rigging Lab Academy to help guide you through the process… so we have you covered. ![]() And so while you’ll never be able to escape being responsible for safety margins and staying within them, there are systems that are easier to deploy than others A track line skate-block is one of those systems. We often hear of folks looking for a easy way to get people from “top to bottom” without having to deal with the headaches of “the math”. This is a really quick look at one of the many ways a tracking skate-block can be built and run. ![]()
