CAB Lifeline
The CAB Lifeline is an emergency escape rope designed to help evacuate an underground mine in the event of a fire or explosion. Research by the U.S. Bureau of Mines has shown that the presence of a dense smoke rope can improve the chances for a successful escape when a fire breaks out in an underground mine. The CAB Lifeline, with it's sturdy directional cones, will help lead employees to the slope and shaft rather than getting lost or confused in an actual emergency. Each standard spool of Lifeline contains 300' or 1000' of 1/4" yellow polypropylene rope with 4 orange directional indicators installed at 25, 75 or 100 foot intervals. All cones and rope are flame retardant. CAB's directional indicators are molded in a solid cone for extra strength and durability. The cone size and shape is specifically designed to prevent a hand grip from being broken when in actual use. For added security and tamper resistance all cones are firmly attached to the LIFELINE with solid corrosion resistant stop sleeves. For added safety, reflective tape is applied on all cones and on the rope at 25 ft. intervals. This provides faster identification of the Lifeline and indicates the proper direction of travel for escape from the mine. CAB LIFELINE sections are quickly and securely locked together with extra heavy duty rated oval sleeves, galvanized thimbles and galvanized quick links. A wide variety of CAB hangers can be used to install the LIFELINE from the side wall or roof of the mine. CAB rope hangers can suspend the LIFELINE at any height desirable in mines with higher roof conditions (see page 7). Other colors of cones and reflective strips are also available.
