SIEMAG TECBERG Australia have developed a system for safe personnel recovery in the event of a power loss or a Winder Control System malfunction for a single rope drum winder.

This system relies on the drum, brake calipers and piping to the calipers to be fully functional. Operation of all other winder components and systems is assumed to be inoperable. The Gravity Feed System by design allows the conveyance to travel in a download direction to enable personnel to be evacuated safely, descending at a controlled speed of between 0.7 m/s and 1 m/s.
