General
THREE-WAY RECOVERY WINCH is designed for use in confined spaces such as manholes, tanks, and other confined areas, where fall-
arrest and retrieval rescue are important. The winch operates as a retractable as well, to raise and lower a worker.
In the situation where a ladder or other means of descent and ascent is in place, a worker should be attached to a Three-Way Recovery
Winch.
Functions:
• Fall Arrest – a braking action if a worker falls
• Retrieval – a means for a topside worker to raise another worker
• Reverse direction - a means for the topside worker to reverse directions, if for any reason the worker becomes wedged while
retrieval is in progress
Note: A Three-Way Recovery Winch, when used in conjunction with anchors such as (Tripod, Quadpod, Monopod or Davit) with optional
Personnel or Work Winch is called a Three-Way Recovery System.

WARNING: This unit is NOT meant to hold or
suspend a worker. The capability to raise a
worker (retrieval) should only be used for rescue
operations; NOT for routine lifting. If suspension
or non-rescue retrieval capabilities are required,
use the Personnel Winch Model no. 142. All
material will be lowered and raised with a
material handling winch Model no.140
