The evacuator escape descent system significantly improves the safety and survivability of people in panic situations at heights
The Evacuator® escape descent system is a fully automatic controlled descent system designed to save lives at heights up to 300 meters. It is a fireproof system up to 1200 degrees Celsius fitted with steel cables. It is panic-proof and instinctively simple to use. It can be installed on wind turbines, offshore substations, harbor cranes, and other high-rise structures. It has a long lifespan of more than 30 years and does not require any special training. It can be used by multiple persons simultaneously and can be used in extreme weather conditions such as heavy rainfall. The system can be inspected and tested in about 15 minutes

Award winning system
In an emergency every second counts. With the Evacuator® escape descent system everybody can escape within 10 seconds.
Designed to save the lives at heights ranging up to 300 meters, the Evacuator® escape descent system is the world’s fastest and most user-friendly, fire proof, collective descent system, click on and go!
This award winning system provides a quick, intuitive escape and descent solution for everybody in an emergency situation. It is suitable for installation on wind turbines, offshore substations, harbour cranes and other high rise structures.
The Evacuator escape descent system brings adherence to the UK Offshore Safety Directive Regulator/HSE-Offshore Emergency Response Inspection Guide.
Certified by German institute DEKRA EN341, in compliance with ANSI Z359/CSA Z259.
Fire-proof, designed for time-critical panic-situations. Based on simplicity, common sense and human instinct.
The Evacuator® utilises a user-friendly ‘click on and go’ mechanism. Each steel cable allows multiple persons to descent at the same time, providing their combined weight does not exceed 282 Kg on each steel cable / escape-hook. The total max. descent load on the system is 564 Kg. It is available in three models: Model E50 equipped with 4 cable reels. Models E140/E165 equipped with 2 cable reels. Model E300 equipped with 1 cable reel.
Installation
The solid surface where the Evacuator is going to be installed must be at least in compliance with the European Standard for Steel Constructions EN1090 and Eurocode3 class CC3 safety factor 1.65. This is the highest Class and also the highest safety factor within the European Standard for steel constructions.
Inspection & maintenance
There is no fixed lifespan, as long as the Evacuator® passes the inspection by a certified technician. Once you have completed authorised training, the inspection can be done by your team for operational efficiency. The same applies to installation. The inspection itself can be completed within 15 minutes.
Compliance
The Evacuator escape descent system brings compliance to the Official European Safety Standard for Wind Turbines EN50308, Paragraph 4.2.2: “The descent device has to be fireproof enough to allow escape from the nacelle to the ground in the event of fire, it shall be suitable for the numbers of persons to be evacuated”.
