A Revolutionary New Device for working at Height

The Harken (USA) PowerSeat is the first of its kind, extending working hours and capability, and providing the quality and comfort that people working in hazardous environments deserve. The Harken PowerSeat is a sit on powered ascender with an in-­‐built manual friction brake descender.

Designed to be used anywhere that rope access is possible, the Harken Power Seat is ideal for industrial maintenance, architectural and construction work, wind turbine and offshore constructions, engineering and inspections, marine and rigging, and also in search and rescue situations.

With the Harken PowerSeat it is possible to work in comfort for extended periods providing up to a 50% boost to productivity whilst saving substantially on operational costs and wage bills. The Harken PowerSeat is simple to operate and has a full 360 degree working area that allows unobstructed work, even in confined areas. The portable unit weighs just 14 kgs so it’s easy to carry around, and is strong, durable and corrosion resistant.

The PowerSeat works with standard approved personal fall arrest systems, and does not replace them. The brake system helps protects from a free fall. In an emergency, the PowerSeat can be evacuated safely and left behind as the operator is already clipped to conventional harness equipment.

The PowerSeat load rating allows for a maximum working load of 273 kg, allowing it to handle a two person load in rescue situations.

It is CE certified to Machinery Directive and verified by Bureau Veritas so it meets the toughest safety standards and approvals.
