When you’re working on-scene, anything can happen, so it’s a
foregone conclusion that you’re going to need an edge – after all, even the
most seasoned of firefighters feels the heat every so often. What you’re going
to need is a quality escape kit or system that’s properly designed to maximize
efficiency when used, which, in turn, gives you the much-needed peace of mind
required to get your work done correctly and safely.
With an impressive track record of creating quality
components for escape kits and systems that spans over 20 years, Sterling Rope
is no stranger to designing and building only the best life-safety rope and
equipment for the fire service. The new Sterling Rope FCX
TE SafeTech, LGT, Pkt Escape Kit is equipped with all the right pieces,
which are thoughtfully integrated for optimal functionality, to ensure flawless
performance when you need it most.
It’s no secret that a safe, controlled descent is a vital
component to any escape system. The FCX TE SafeTech, LGT, Pkt Escape Kit has a
number of useful components to facilitate such a descent, in addition to its
auto-locking capabilities, ease-of-use with either hand, and excellent
modulation characteristics. Take a look below at some of the excellent features
the kit has:
As Sterling Rope’s most advanced descent-control device, the
FCX is equipped with an innovative cam feature that offers smooth modulation,
therefore allowing the user to easily control descent speed with only one hand,
while side rails prevent glove and sill interference.
The FCX TE SafeTech, LGT, Pkt Escape Kit’s lightweight
aluminum carabiner has a removable, captive-eye pin that allows a rope with a
sewn eye to be attached to it at any time. The pin serves two critically
important functions: preventing unauthorized disassembly and keeping the
carabiner properly oriented, therefore preventing cross-loading.
When heat becomes intense, the FCX TE SafeTech, LGT, Pkt
Escape Kit’s Tech Extension Lanyard, which is constructed out of a hollow-braid
Technora® cord, can be trusted to remain strong and durable. Its extension
tether is located in between the carabiner and the descent device, which allows
the system to be stowed, therefore avoiding accidental deployment.
Featuring a high-heat-, chemical-, and abrasion-resistant
Nylon/Technora® Core/Sheath, the FCX TE SafeTech, LGT, Pkt Escape Kit’s
SafeTech 8.0 mm Fire Escape Rope’s core offers strength, gear compatibility,
and better elongation to reduce anchor loads. To get details on its aluminum
Lightning GT Hook, take a look at one of our previous blogs here.

Your escape plan must be something as solid as concrete. These tools are efficient enough to make your escape easier and safer. It seems same as that when I was about to fail in last semester and then found the best British writers online and made my escape successful from the hectic college assignments.
This FCX escape kit is really safe and helpful for people. We all need to identify that this escape kit will help us during on scene. I didn't know about it because I'm a book cover designer Dubai and I have a rich knowledge about it that is really helpful for me.
