Index
• Designed for use by rope access operators
• Powered ascender and manual friction brake descender.
• Used where the operator is working in a fall-arrest harness,
• The seating arrangement eliminates wasted energy maintaining an
upright position, enabling the operator to work at height for longer
periods.
• Safety is greatly enhanced through the significant reduction in fatigue.
• Full 360-degree working area allows unobstructed access, even in
confined spaces.
• Works with standard approved harness equipment that acts as a
personal fall-arrest system, and does not replace it.
The Power Seat
1
Revolutionary device for working at height
• To provide added flexibility and also ensure maximum
efficiency the overall system also requires the use of a
Power seat.
• This allows operators to ascend quickly, stay in position
longer, and work in comfort providing a safer, more
efficient way of working at height.
• Low-friction, safety-enhancing solution that reduces the
risk of operator injury when working in diverse areas
such as structural maintenance.
• The portable unit weighs just 14 kg so it’s easy to
carry around, yet strong, durable, and corrosion-
resistant
2
Designed as an adaptable unit that can be used anywhere rope access is possible, the POWER SEAT is
ideal for use on wind turbines, building exteriors, search and rescue scenarios, and in a wide range of
industries including:
• Construction
• Renewable Energy
• Facilities Management
• Marine
• Stage Management & Filming
• Telecommunications
• Utilities
• Oil & Gas Sectors
Who is the Power Seat for?
3
• Tested in the most extreme
conditions and has proved to be a
valuable tool in a conventional
climbing operation, providing that
extra degree of safety.
• Reduces fatigue and chafe, and
eliminates suspension trauma.
• Load rating allows for a safe
working load of 273 kg,
• Can handle a two-person load in
rescue situations.

Gas (Petrol) Electric Battery
Max Load 273kg 300kg 300kg
Max Line Speed 15m/min 14m/min 14m/min
Weight (full seat only) 14kg 19kg 22.6kg
Duration (max load) 600meters N/A *35m
cable
550meters
Fuel consumption varies with weight and usage but the petrol
motor is extremely efficient and only uses a few liters of unleaded
petrol with four-stroke mix for a full day’s work at height.
Load-carrying gears and pins are stainless steel for strength and
durability.
Sealed lubrication gearbox and high-load ball bearings reduce friction
under load, are corrosion resistant, and do not require
lubrication. The drum surface is designed to be kind to rope.

• ISO 22846: Personal equipment for protection against falls(part1/part2)
• IRATA: International Code of Practice.
• C(HSW)R: The Construction (Health, Safety and welfare) Regulations.
• LOLER: The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations.
• MHSWR: The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations.
• PUWER: The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations.
• Directive 2006/42/CE of European Parliament and council of 17th May 2006 on machinery,
and amending Directive 95/16/CE
Standards

• Put to the test on a wind turbine in Germany
carrying out routine maintenance on the blades and
nacelle.
• It was found to accelerate all inspection and
maintenance tasks carried out.
• The engineers were able to travel up and down the
blades carrying out the routine inspections and
maintenance tasks more effectively and with a
considerable saving of energy and time compared to
using traditional methods.
• In addition to this the operator/technician will save
power and energy (especially on wind turbines that do
not have a lift/elevator).

Case Study # 1
7
Gondola Evacuation Exercise at Abetone and Zermatt in Switzerland
• Was used to carry out evacuation drills
from the cable cars in two ski resorts in
Switzerland, in anticipation of the winter
season.
• The exercise involved two teams from the
local fire department of Pistoia, a mountain
rescue team and a team from the ski
resort.
• During the exercises all the experts involved
had a chance to put the Power Seat
through its paces using it in a variety of
ways, including a two person rescue
situation to evacuate the Cable car.

Power Seat used in Railway Build in Austria
• Has been used in Austria in a project to build a new
Railway.
• Using the Power Seat™ helped save a significant
amount of time in transporting the material for the
project.
• Also drastically reduced the amount of energy used
by the workers involved in the project.
