UNIVERSAL & ACCESSIBILITY EQUIPMENT

Looking to enhance your program offerings with some specialized equipment? ESI offers three different universal accessibility kits that come complete with a variety of equipment that will help serve the needs of climbers who need additional support. 

The UAK-1 comes complete with the following:

If you need additional components for a larger course, ask us about the UAK-2 and UAK-3.

• Misty Mountain Easy Seat - a specialized rigid yet padded seat that has an integrated rated harness system allowing lower body support without sacrificing upper body mobility.

• Handlebar Ascender (Wellman pull-up bar or similar)  - a traditional ascender mechanism that will grab the rope with the integrated cam while also providing a variety of hand hold options including the built in handlebars.
  
• 1M Mechanical Advantage System (Petzl JAG or similar) - this compact system provides mechanical advantage at your fingertips when climbing at height and needing assistance transferring from one cable to the other. 
  
  
• Trolley w/ anti-rollback cam (ISC Zippy or similar) - this trolley allows for smooth forward movement on a course and option to sit in the system and take a break without losing forward momentum.
  
  
• Bosun chair (Petzl Podium or similar) - a rigid chair that is stowed out of the way on the climber and dropped into position at any point along the climb as an extra seat providing quick lower body support and resting spot.
  
  
• ISC R-ALF Pulley System - this system creates a 5:1 mechanical advantage with integrated locking hub option for those climbers who need assistance ascending vertically into a course. It includes everything needed for the full system including the R-ALF hub, two double pulleys, rope, carabiners and a handy storage bag.

The original Adaptive Ropes Course harness, the ARC allows all participants to experience challenge courses and ziplines, without regard to physical ability. Designed especially for participants with physical challenges, the ARC features a thickly padded, rigid seat, with integrated chest and pelvic harnesses, secure four point attachment system and dorsal head panel, providing a safe, comfortable harness for experiencing modern ropes courses.

*ARC Spreader Bar sold separately*

The Easy Seat Accessability Harness offers participants with sufficient upper body strength and additional freedom of movement while still providing a padded seat and integral harness for security. The Easy Seat is excellent for rigging a 4 to 1 ascending system. It offers a firm, padded support of the lower body and complete upper body freedom. The participant is secured to the harness via leg loops, waist and chest.

Built by Mark Wellman, this pull up bar can be used with any adaptive harness to let the participant control their ascent.
