The DoublExit Escape System, an emergency escape solution, is designed for use in tall multistory buildings. The harness-based system from DoublExit, acts as a life-saving means of escape during an emergency when existing exit routes are inaccessible or inoperative. It is installed independently and fully self-contained in storage cabinets ready for use from inside the building. In the event of an emergency the harness allows for a controlled descent to safety via a window, balcony or other opening to the outside without the need for external assistance or any training.
Specially developed for purpose and stringently tested, the DoublExit Escape System can be used repeatedly and is bidirectional to enable the continuous evacuation of large numbers of people. For the same reasons it is mechanically operated and does not rely on any external power source.
DoublExit is approved for operation in buildings up to 150 meters in height and to carry weights between 30 and 150kg. The cable is fire retardant and the system is capable of functioning in wet conditions. The special harness also makes the system suitable for the disabled.
