The 3M™ DBI-SALA® Rescue Pole is an essential piece of safety gear for construction crews, transportation workers, miners, utilities experts, and oil and gas pros. A telescoping design can extend to over 8.5 ft. to aide in assisted-rescue applications when the fallen worker is donning a Self-Rescue detachable descent device. Durable yet lightweight aluminum pole is easy to store and bring along to the job, and stands tough against weather, corrosion and impacts. An aluminum carabiner with a 13/16 in. gate opening works together with a capture head and 12 ft. tagline to securely hooks into the assisted-rescue ring on the Self-Rescue device providing for a safe, efficient rescue.
