Drill Powered Ascender – PPE Certified Rope Access Device

Product Introduction

A multi-functional rope access device that combines a drill powered ascender, a rescue-compliant descender, and a progress capture pulley in one compact unit. Powered by a standard hand drill and attached directly to the operator, eliminating proprietary batteries and motors that can fail on the job. Fully PPE certified for daily work-positioning tasks. Compact at 8" × 5" × 4" and lightweight at just 5 lbs, with IP66 waterproof protection.

Product Features

🔄 Three functions in one device

Combines drill powered ascent, controlled descent, and progress capture in a single compact unit. Ascend, descend, and reposition on rope without switching between tools.

🔌 Powered by your own drill

Runs on any standard hand drill delivering 120–160 Nm of torque. No proprietary batteries or motors to fail – you're never left grounded by a dead pack. Brushless drills recommended for extended ascents.

🛡️ Fully PPE certified

Certified to EN 12841:2024-B/C, ANSI Z359.9:2021 Type 4, and EN 341:2011/2A for daily work-positioning use. Integrated dual self-locking mechanism automatically engages in case of gearbox failure.

⚙️ Precision 11mm wheel design

Grippy enough to ascend the rope, yet smooth enough to descend with the same wheel. Compatible with EN 1891 Type A 11mm ropes. Replaceable at the tailgate using the included 4mm Allen wrench.

🌧️ Rugged and field-ready

IP66 waterproof construction handles rain and wet working conditions. Compact 8" × 5" × 4" profile and 5 lb weight keep your kit light on long jobs.
