CTOMS Red - Special Operations Capable Kit
Provides skilled end users with a full vertical access, egress and rescue capability.
In detail
The Red TRACE kit provides skilled end users with a full vertical access, egress and rescue capability. Its greatest utility and benefit is size and weight meaning that teams deployed on standby or contingent tasks with limited knowledge of the ground and environment they can carry a full rope capability. Historically this capability would have been scaled back or left behind due to the size and weight of standard rope systems. Its size and weight also mean it is well suited to discrete or low profile tasks. The full Red kit provides the below capabilities:
- Access and egress in a vertical environment, especially when used in conjunction with the Helix CMH where every man has the ability to carry a EN12277:2015C (Mountaineering sit harness) or in extremis a Riggers belt that meets the criteria of EN358 (Riggers belt)
- Rescue systems.
- Hauling and Lowering of casualties and or equipment.
- Rigging of fixed lines to move bodies of men across complex terrain.
- High lines and guiding lines.
Due to the differences in TRACE as a system from conventional Rope systems the training to use and operate the full TRACE red kit is a 5 day course, this course from experience is the minimum regarding contact time to make the end user competent. Helix Training are the only European distributor and Training provider for TRACE systems. Helix also provide an agency Train the Trainer qualification to allow Units to train internal users but not to train instructors. All TRACE qualifications, in line with Industrial and other Rope Rescue standards are valid for three years from successful completion of a training course.

Features

Rescuing casualties from a roof, upper floors, ships, or confined spaces has now become significantly simplified. The RED Kit increases your mission capability without a significant increase in weight burden. Where the ORANGE Kit is intended for hasty vertical movement, the RED Kit is intended for deliberate vertical movement.

This is the flagship kit of TRACE Systems providing the ability to perform advanced application use in high angle and confined space rescues, rappels, ascending, lowers, hauls, climbing, bridging, and more. This tiny kit is unmatched in capability and safety in its weight class.

This kit is ideal for the Assault Climbers, Pararescue, SOF Medics, and other specialists responsible for deliberate vertical movement of personnel and casualties. The intent of this kit is that if two Operators, each with one RED Kit are working together, they can construct every installation and capability, except for a reeve on a highline, which would need to be supplemented.
