Compact25, the recovery crane for working safely in confined spaces: how it works
Compact25 is a fall arrest device useful for safely accessing confined spaces such as manholes, tanks, cisterns, wells and tunnels.
In this article, we'll take a closer look at how Compact25 works, the safety system used to access confined spaces such as silos, manholes, and tanks.
Compact25: How it works, what it's for, and when to use it
Compact25 is a fall arrest device useful for safely accessing confined spaces such as manholes, tanks, cisterns, wells, and tunnels, and for maintenance, inspection, and testing in confined spaces. But that's not all. This device can also be used as a rescue system for recovering injured individuals from confined spaces. For recovery, Compact25 is compatible with retractable fall arresters with recovery function compliant with EN360 – EN1496.

What is meant by confined space
As we've seen, the Compact25 is useful for operations that take place in confined spaces. But what exactly is a confined space? It's an environment that's difficult to enter or exit and where the air may be sparse or suspect of pollution. Confined spaces can be found in a variety of places, including factories, construction sites, water treatment plants, and sewer systems.
