Frequently Asked Questions

What height can the Vetter safety cushions safely arrest a fall from?

The SP16 is certified for falls up to 16 metres (approximately 5 storeys). The SP25 is certified for falls up to 25 metres (approximately 8 storeys). Both are independently certified to DIN 14151-3 by a Berlin testing institute with full drop testing and deceleration measurement. Do not use either cushion beyond its certified height — the deceleration forces become potentially fatal at heights above the rating.

When should SP16 be used instead of SP25?

The SP16 is smaller, lighter and inflates faster — making it the faster-to-deploy option in urban incidents where response time is critical and the person at risk is below 16 m. The SP25 covers higher buildings where the SP16 is not rated. For most fire and rescue services, the SP25 is the preferred specification as it provides both height ratings (it covers SP16 scenarios as well). If budget and storage space are constraints, the SP25 is the more versatile single purchase.

What is the Pressure Guard accessory for?

The Pressure Guard is a continuous air pressure monitoring device that connects to the SP16 or SP25 safety cushion during a rescue operation. It provides a visual and audible alert if the cushion pressure drops below the required operational level. This is particularly important during extended incidents where the cushion may need to be maintained inflated for an extended period while negotiations or other rescue efforts are ongoing. The Pressure Guard is rated IP65 for outdoor and wet-weather use.

What is the Rapid Response Kit used for?

The Rapid Response Kit is a self-contained disaster rescue backpack system designed for scenarios where rescue vehicles cannot reach the victim — earthquake rubble, flood terrain, collapsed buildings, or remote locations. It contains two 8-bar lifting bags, a DeWALT 54V battery compressor (13 lift cycles per battery), two batteries, hoses and control element, all packed into a robust backpack with rain cover. A single rescuer can carry the complete system and deploy it without any external air supply.

What does the ART Attack tool do?

The ART Attack is a multi-function manual access and forced entry tool designed for fire, rescue and police use. It accepts interchangeable head attachments for different tasks: the pry wedge for levering and nail extraction, the flat wedge for door gap entry and prying, and the spike head for puncturing and creating holes in sheet metal or thin panels. Additional specialist heads are available on request, and a Black Edition is available for tactical police units. It is compact enough to carry as a standard vehicle tool and does not require a power source.
