Powered Ascenders
T1-16 ASSAULT - POWER ASCENDER
Regardless of being onshore or at sea, in urban or
remote locations; the state-of-the-art T1-16 Assault
Ascender has been developed for tactical- and rescue
operations under extreme conditions. These unique,
watertight battery-powered Ascenders are almost silent
and can ascend and descend at very high speeds. Giving
you great tactical advantage, our Ascenders will not
only make your operations more effective but also safer.
Instead of strenuous climbing a rope or ladder you just
ride the rope! One hand operation ensures you are able
to operate your weapon and lets you fully concentrate
on your task. Once the first operator is on top the rest of
the team can be winched up easily by using the remote
control system.
The T1-16 Assault Ascender was introduced in 2010
and is now in use with many special operations units
around the world. It has proven to be an ideal tool for
many boarding and various urban tactical and rescue
scenario's. With a battery capacity of 400m/1300ft this
device is considered the "work horse" among our battery
powered ascenders.
The rope grab is optimized for TAGS® Patron PLUS
ropes but also works with other specified semi static
ropes (EN1891A). The optional 9mm rope Grab is exclusively
designed and approved to work with TAGS®
Patron Assault (9mm special Dyneema utility rope).
The T1-16 features an internal battery system and is
optimized for diving ops up to 10m/33ft depth.
