The double hoist hook, conceived and legally licensed for human cargo, allows a maximum weight of 600 kilograms. The long-line fix rope theoretically does not have a maximum length limit. We have had to intervene twice with a 120 m rope in the Dolomite Mountains but normally we use 100 m rope. The advantage of the double hoist hook which is fixed to the cargo centre of the helicopter, allows the possibility of fast evacuation of up to 4 persons at a time. Furthermore, the winch can be used in numerous occasions, as it allows us to save time and reduce danger, ie. evacuate cable cars and lifts.
