Creating an anchors for stairway haul using lay flat Arizona Vortex

Short training video showing a lay flat asymmetric Arizona Vortex A frame used as a stairway landing anchor. Attached is a Harken riggers winch running a 2:1 drop loop line for “hauling” the stretcher up the flight of stairs. Rope protection is a combination of STREP, DMM ProPad and DMM Patroller.
The basket stretcher is carrying the casualty pre packaged in an Abtech Slix 100 stretcher. The lines are connected to the stretcher with Lyon steel strops to form a hip level pivot. The steel strops are used to protect the ropes running between the stretcher and the stairs.
There are many variations, you could add a pully at the stretcher head - more important if manually hauling and you could of course add a belay / safety line - we will leave this to you to decide.
Solutions like this are developed and explored on all our Rescue 3 technical rescue and instructor courses for rope and confined spaces.
