2. Application
The RG11 easy and the RG11 easy+ rescue device for descending and lifting are rescue devices by
means of which one person or two persons simultaneously or several persons one after the other are
able to vertical descend from a higher to a lower level at limited velocity. In addition, a person can be
lifted vertically from a lower to a higher level by a rescuer or a rescuer can approach a casualty,
collect that person and descend with the casualty.
The equipment may only be used within the limits defined in this user manual and for its intended
use. The RG11 easy and the RG11 easy+ rescue device for descending and lifting may only be used
as rescue system and not as fall arrest system. The device can be used in vertical, horizontal and
inclined position. The position depends on the particular use.
Vertical position: device is hanging vertically on an anchor point.

When lifting loads over 200 kg a higher actuating force than the
250 N stipulated in the standard is to be reckoned with.

0,7 m/s or 1,5 m/s at loads up to 100 kg. Increasing speed is to
be expected as load is increased (2,0 m/sec. max.)
