The latest battery powered ascender from Atlas Devices.
A multi-mission device that hauls heavy personnel loads, extends stamina, and reduces mission exposure.
The standard APA-4 lifts up to 160kg / 350lbs directly and an integrated 2:1 attachment allows users to build mechanical advantage systems quickly and easily to lift loads up to 700 lbs.
A heavy duty version of the APA-4 will haul 250kg / 550lbs directly whilst the system can be overridden in an emergency with a manual brake release that allows descent with no battery.
Handles ropes from 6-11mm in diameter without changing the drive system and is kind to ropes in applying power so that sheaths are not stripped.
The standard 3kg battery gives 210m / 700ft of ascent with a 115kg / 250kg load and the high capacity battery gives 420m / 1400ft of ascent on a single charge.
