The Tracer Line (TL) is a revolutionary device in the next generation of search and rescue equipment. Self-retracting, lightweight, and compact, it is the optimal personal life line that attaches to a rescuer’s harness or belt enabling a hands-free search. The Tracer Line is only 5.5 inches in diameter, weighs less than 2.5 pounds, and frees up your hands during a search. The unit facilitates safe entry and exit from a search environment allowing multiple searches with out having to repack a Rope Bag and, virtually eliminates the trip hazard of the Rope Bag.

The unit contains fifty feet of self-retracting, heat resistant, reflective, non-conductive line with a tensile strength of approximately 900 pounds while only being 3mm in diameter. The line is attached to a specialized beacon-lit handle that enables the user to anchor the line to the entry door jamb in one single motion, securing the entry door open. The Tracer Line comes equipped with an automated distance counter providing the user at-a-glance knowledge of how far they have traveled into the search area (no more counting knots). The Tracer Line is designed to link with other Tracer Lines for multi person or extended distance searches and can either be a replacement of or work in unison with other search lines being used.
