Electrical Safety & Rescue Equipment
CATU rescue hooks and rescue sticks are an essential electrical safety item for the retrieval of victims from electric shock and are insulated from 45kV up to 225kV for safe working in medium/high voltage (MV HV) substations. Rescue hooks and sticks protect against electrical shock and are a common feature of electrical substations and are constructed from a white resin polyester/glass fiber foam filled tube.
MV HV rescue hooks are suitable for switchrooms, substations, plant rooms, generator rooms, UPS battery rooms and computer/data centres – the rescue sticks (commonly referred to as “hooks”) are used to remove persons incapacitated by electrical shock from the danger area, such as high voltage (HV) substations or switchrooms, without endangering the lives of others.
➡ The CATU-225 is an extended length pole for use on indoor high voltage power networks up to 225kV – the insulating stick measures 2.25 metre in length and is made of durable and electricity-resistant polyester and glass fibre, fully insulating the pole when held by the user. Stick is equipped with a rubber handguard. Thorne & Derrick stock and distribute sticks suitable for use on 45kV and 90kV systems.
