The RED Back-up Device is a simple, high performance back up device suitable for use within industrial height safety, rope access and edge management situations. 

Tested with 240 kg, it is suitable for back up rescue loads. The cam's positive locking spring means the device is self-parking rather than self-tailing.  The RED uses rotational braking so the more it rotates the more friction is built up, providing an automatic brake.

The Popper device is a breakaway release clip, which provides a secondary attachment point for the tow cord. When used during normal positioning activity, this secondary attachment point allows the user to tow the device directly downwards. In a panic situation, the popper clip is designed to release under load and mitigate against uncontrolled towing of the device.
