DUON-Air™ Vented Helmet
Ultimate head protection for work at height and confined spaces.
DUON is the only helmet that has full compliance with two European standards, EN 397 and EN 12492, having a special chin strap buckle with a variable fastening power and variable venting.
DUON helmets have a unique chinstrap buckle which can be switched between ‘strong’ and ‘weak’ to give conformity with either standard, allowing wearers to be fully compliant in complex environments containing different, changing hazards.
The DUON-Air vented helmet version has vents that can be switched to give conformity with either standard. All switching is carried out without tools.
The DUON has been successfully tested following accelerated UV exposure (the equivalent of 25 years in Northern Europe or 10 years anywhere in the world including Saudi Arabia). This was based on 40 hours per week average exposure.
The DUON’s maximum lifespan has been increased to 10 years use. Previously this was limited to 5 years use and 5 years storage (a total of 10 years).
Performance:
EN397 (‘industrial’) has a weak chinstrap to prevent injury if the helmet becomes trapped in machinery etc. and small vents to prevent items such as sparks hitting the wearer.
EN12492 (‘mountaineering’) has a strong chinstrap so the helmet stays in place in a fall – protecting the head, and large vents to help prevent workers getting too hot – an occupational health improvement.

PULSAR Ascender
Right handed, handled ascender rope access device.
When tested on new Tectra 11 mm low stretch rope, these handled ascenders were found to be 25% stronger than their most popular sharp toothed competitor, with average breaking loads up to 675 kg for X-cams versus 535 kg for the established design.
However, the greatest increase in performance is exhibited if the ascender continues to be loaded after the sheath of the rope has ruptured.
In this situation, X-Cams will hold up to 200 kg on the broken sheath and rope cores. Established toothed designs supported only around 30 kg in heightec tests – nowhere near enough to support a person.
heightec X-Cam ascenders therefore significantly reduce the possibility of complete system failure by exerting a considerable hold on a rope after the sheath has broken.
X-Cam has a more advanced tooth design than traditional cams and is more suitable for industrial applications as it does not pluck the rope, so reducing rate of rope wear.
It maintains a high degree of grip – even on old or dirty rope.
The handle design is ergonomically positioned and profiled for optimal pulling and greater comfort to the user.
Contains high strength alloy with stainless steel friction surfaces.
Two attachment points allow cowstail and footloop to be connected separately which eliminates the need to open a loaded karabiner.
X-Cam™ design gives increased performance over traditional sharp tooth design
- Cam exerts considerable grip on rope after sheath has broken
- Cam doesn’t pluck rope
- Easy to remove from rope if accidentally jammed into knot
- Giving optimum pulling position
- Improved comfort
- Keeps cowstail and footloop separate
- Eliminates need to open a loaded karabiner

HURRICANE rope grab with pulley – alloy
Unique, patented casualty recovery hauling device only available only from heightec.
Constructed of lightweight alloy with our trademark X-Cam™, designed specifically for industrial or professional use and offers immediate purchase on the rope whilst minimising the potential for rope damage.
The X-Cam™ will continue to hold over 100 kg on a rope even in the extreme event of a sheath being ruptured.
The simplicity and compactness of the HURRICANE compared with other traditional systems is a major advantage in allowing non-experts to achieve the lifting of a suspended casualty. It is the only product to allow intuitive assembly of such a system.
As the device can be attached at any point along the rope, the lifting system can be remote from the casualty, reducing the amount of rope required by around 70%.
The HURRICANE is very widely used in fire and rescue service. Selected for use by all official UK Urban Search and Rescue Teams. Received innovation award by British Safety Industry Federation.

Safelock™ quick connect leg and waist buckles make fitting fast and easy. Harness readjustment is not required every time it is worn, as the buckles do not need to be slackened to remove it.
The shoulder buckles allow quick and easy adjustment with one hand.
Elastic webbing retainers on shoulder and waist straps allow slack webbing to be stowed neatly and easily.
140 kg rated load.
Also available with standard leg buckles.
Optional extra: Rear attachment point extension strap (MML03).

NEW VANTAGE™ 5:1 Locking Casualty Pulley
heightec’s new VANTAGE™ Locking Casualty Pulley has been specifically designed for transferring a casualty onto a rescue system without cutting connections.
The sheath between the pulleys prevents tangling and provides cut/abrasion resistance. The sheath is constructed of highly compressible woven plastic which prevents snagging between cord or pulley, unlike similar products using a mesh sleeve.
Automatic locking allows efficient progress capture during rescue. The cam cannot be locked open, removing the risk of accidentally releasing the load.
8 mm cord provides extra grip for hauling.
1.5 m length allows full, arms length reach, without excessive slack.
All components of the VANTAGE Locking Casualty Pulley are approved as PPE so there is no need for an additional ‘rated’ attachment.
The VANTAGE can be used in conjunction with the TOWERPACK™ rescue system, a self contained rescue kit for snatch or pick off rescues.
The 4:1 mechanical advantage from the VANTAGE enables the rescuer to easily off-weight a casualty from their system onto a rescue system.
The VANTAGE offers 5:1 mechanical advantage if rigged (tail end is attached at the load being lifted).
Release date: Please call for details.
