Cross Gantry Hoist (XGH™)

In pursuit of continuous improvement and technological leadership, Survival Systems Limited has developed the METS® Model 12000 XGH™ handling system.  The system provides the client with the highest level of safety, reliability, and user friendly options that is available for aircraft ditching training today. The XGH™ monitoring and expandable control functions offer the client accurate, repeatable, and document-able training routines, as well as the ability to control and sequence other training devices such as wind, waves, rescue hoist systems, and other environmental variables for a complete and state-of-the-art training system.

• The METS® Model 12000 XGH™ is a cross gantry hoisting system and features dual lifting mechanisms, integrated METS® remote air brake system, user settable variable ditching speeds, advanced ditching monitoring, effects sequencing and control, as well as a pneumatically operated redundant retraction system (RRS) to mitigate the risk of power failures during critical (submerged) periods of the helicopter underwater escape training (HUET) training cycle.
• The system is a cost effective, retrofit design for replacing aging hoist system, is very easy to use, and can be installed indoors, outdoors, in pre-existing or new facilities as required.
