Harken Wingman
$545.00
Wingman is a compact personal mechanical advantage (PMA) system engineered for technical rescue, rope access, and industrial safety applications where efficiency, control, and minimal footprint are critical. By applying new design and mechanical technology, Wingman delivers controlled progress capture and precise load release in a significantly smaller form factor than traditional systems.
ASK ABOUT OUR PRICE MATCHING
- Integrated Mechanical Progress Capture Wingman is among the first personal mechanical advantage systems to achieve internal, mechanical progress capture within the device itself—eliminating reliance on external prusiks.
- Ratcheting Sheave with Controlled Release Wing A ratcheting sheave stops rope movement while a composite handle (“wing”) allows the operator to open or close the system under load for smooth, fine-tuned release.
- One-Handed, Fully Modulated Load Release Even under full load and with sheaves fully engaged, the system can be released easily and safely using one hand on the wing and the other tending the line.
- Ultra-Compact Form Factor With a minimum overall length of just 8 inches, Wingman provides:
- Increased clearance under tripods
- Greater throw during pick-off operations
- Improved efficiency in confined spaces
- Configurable Mechanical Advantage Wingman can be configured as a 4:1 or 5:1 mechanical advantage system, making it versatile for a wide range of rescue and work-positioning scenarios.
- High Efficiency Ball-Bearing Sheaves Integrated ball bearings maximize efficiency for both raising and lowering loads, reducing operator effort and improving system responsiveness.
Wingman is supplied with an industrial-grade ballistic nylon carrying case featuring:
- Locking buckle
- Drawstring closure
- Drain grommets for proper line drying
- Internal separation for unit and rope to ensure clean, reliable deployment
Common Applications
- Technical rope rescue
- Pick-off rescues
- Adjustable directionals
- Work positioning
- Tripod and confined-space operations
- Industrial safety and access systems
