ZIPRescue

Complex evacuation scenarios often require direct rescuer-client contact in the chair or cabin. When ground evacuation isn't feasible, the ZipRescue® Trolley is the solution. The ZipRescue® Trolley is a patented transportation device used during lift evacuations to quickly travel the haul rope to the chair or gondola/tram cabin. The rescuer can then lower directly from the device into the chair or gondola cabin without ever unclipping from the ZipRescue® Trolley. The ZipRescue®’s adjustable braking system makes the trolley widely adaptable to spans with varying inclines and cable diameters.  When manpower and time are in short supply, the ZipRescue® Trolley is an essential piece of lift evacuation equipment that every resort should utilize.

Every gondola–aerial lift presents a unique situation that requires a custom approach to developing an appropriate evacuation plan: considering variables such as the structure, the cabins, the terrain, the best equipment choices, the prior experience level of team members and the diversity of passengers. Our training program begins with a site survey that allows us to customize the absolute best solutions for your unique installation and customers and concludes with your team being able to safely run full evacuation scenarios.

Whether your aerial tramway or gondola is a new installation or has been running for years, having a current ANSI B77 evacuation plan and a well-trained team using the latest equipment and rescue techniques are essential and required elements of a safe and compliant operation. Our lift evacuation training program incorporates all these elements into a comprehensive, site-specific and personalized course by top instructors in the industry to assure you have the best ANSI B77 evacuation plan and rescue team for your operation. Our team evaluates your aerial lift specifications and customizes a written, site-specific B77 Evacuation Plan, which is then shared as a collaborative document.
