The other day I walked into the studio (Neverland) armed with one goal for the morning… build a system that is Functionality Efficient in Gear Efficient in People Efficient in Physics AHD Based Small Team Based One Person Load Very Reproducible Raise Only Based (but with a margin of error that allows for downward adjustments…
Effective rescue operations often require the use of raising and lowering systems to safely move individuals and equipment. Understanding mechanical advantage systems is crucial for performing these tasks efficiently and safely. This super blog will guide you through comprehensive learning modules focused on raising systems and mechanical advantage (MA) systems, with cross-references to essential hardware

This is a 2 Part piece… I had a few Rescue Response Gear customer ask for a couple of AHD basic setup ideas – I thought these two would do nicely… So here they are. Before delving into the intricacies of high directional setups and systems, it’s imperative to grasp some foundational concepts, with “resultant”

To review, this simplest way to make sure it’s stable is to visualize your resultants and make sure they’re landing within the footprint of your system. Then provide some guying for stability and the insurance that in the event that someone should change, you’ll still be stable. You may find situations — and we’ll show

Let’s review some of the basic concepts starting with a term you’re going to hear a whole bunch: resultant. Resultant is a very important term when you work with a high directional. Defining a resultant is what determines if your high directional is going to be stable or not. So when we say resultant, the
