The Giraffe provides excellent command and controllability to the user for a complete pole and hook set, which has a very long reach. A key feature is the control the system which gives over hook engagement and vacuum pressure disengagement, ensuring good fast placements that are ready for climbing.
Operated with a simple up and down push button, the user has complete control of the system and can fully deploy the hook in 6-8 seconds and retract the system in 11-14 seconds. It is so lightweight that it can be operated by just one person.
The system can be used with two different sizes of base plate depending on the operational requirements. Includes all the elements needed to work alongside the pole and hook; wire ladders and ladder reels in various lengths, release mechanisms, air bottles, hoses and pressure regulators.
In the interests of simplicity, the Giraffe system is also available in complete packages ready to be deployed.
