      Spanset – Gotcha SHARK

      The Spanset Gotcha SHARK is a high-performance descending-only rescue and evacuation kit, specifically designed for experienced tower and mast climbers, riggers, and work-at-height professionals. Engineered for use in extreme vertical environments, this system enables the controlled, bladeless lowering of two people, allowing the rescuer to accompany the casualty to safety and help navigate any hazards encountered on the way down.

      With a descent capacity of up to 180 metres for a 200kg mass, the Gotcha SHARK is ideal for complex or prolonged evacuations, where reliability, precision, and user confidence are paramount. Unlike traditional rope cutting systems, the SHARK utilises a safe, bladeless cutting operation, providing a secure and non-destructive method of controlled descent.

      At the core of the system is a certified descender, purpose-built to support the controlled lowering of two individuals. This makes it particularly effective for rescues where a casualty may be unconscious or unable to descend unaided, and where being accompanied can significantly increase safety.

      The Gotcha SHARK is available in multiple descent heights to suit a wide range of structures, including 20m, 25m, 30m, 66m, and 100m lengths, ensuring flexibility across different site requirements.
