The Yates Rescue Load Limiter is a top - notch safety tool designed to significantly reduce peak loads on anchors in rescue and rigging operations. It works as a stitch - ripping device, boasting an incredibly consistent activation and absorption accuracy within + - 5%. This load limiter is a great asset for recording maximum loads in various rescue and rigging scenarios, such as in highlights and mechanical advantage hauling systems. You can gang two units together to double the activation force. A single unit activates at over 500 lbf. (2kN+), and when two units are ganged in parallel, the activation is over 1000 lbf. (4.5kN+). The ultimate strength of a single unit is 5000 lbf. (22.2 kN). It comes in a vibrant red color and is proudly made in the USA.
Using the Yates Rescue Load Limiter is straightforward. First, identify the anchor point in your rescue or rigging system. Attach the load limiter securely to the anchor. When the load on the system reaches the activation force (over 500 lbf. for a single unit or over 1000 lbf. for two ganged units), the limiter will start to work, reducing the peak load. Note that you should always check the load limiter for any signs of damage before use. If there are visible cracks or wear, do not use it. For maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
