FAST-ROPE HOOK

Tyler’s ingenious Fast-Rope Hook was designed with the utmost safety and engineering standards in mind.

The hook feature locks the rope in place when a load is applied. This function is to prevent an accidental release while personnel are conducting roping operations.

Unlike a conventional cargo hook that is designed to release with a load in the event of an aircraft emergency, the Tyler Fast-Rope hook provides a fail-safe condition for fast-roping personnel. In this case, the safety priority centers on roping team members.

Once the fast-ropers are safely on the ground, the fast-rope can be jettisoned with a two-function T-Handle cable release mounted inside the cabin. Additionally, the hook can be physically locked in place to circumvent the cable release activation. This option is ideal for training environments to insure the greatest degree of safety.

The Tyler Fast-Rope hook can also be attached to rescue hoist brackets. Rescue hoist manufactures do not recommend that operators use the rescue hoist for fast-rope operations due to added stress to where the rescue hoist cable attaches to the rescue hook.

Because rescue hoists were never designed for fast-roping, the Tyler Fast-Rope Hook is ideal for operators that have a rescue hoist and want to fast-rope safely and prevent undo stress to their rescue hoists. Tyler has devised a special clamp system that quickly attaches the Tyler Fast-Rope Hook to the rescue hoist bracket.
