KMA-FG Fire & Rescue Power Ascender

The KMA-FG is an electric, battery-powered rope ascender built for fire & rescue and government teams — a personal powered elevator that drives a responder up and down a fixed rope for fast access and evacuation. Manufactured by KODUCT (Korea). Rated IP66 for demanding outdoor conditions.

It is offered in speed and high-capacity configurations; the exact configuration is matched to your needs when you request a quote. Across the range it carries a rated 110–200 kg (243–441 lb) working load, ascends at up to 0.9 m/s (≈54 m/min), and covers about 600 m of ascent per charge at 100 kg. The attachable Li-ion battery lets a spare keep crews working continuously.
