AWAH Z3 is an innovative Drill Powered Pulley hoist and descender  from the AWAH brand. Since its first launch on June 2, 2024, it has become an indispensable tool for workers worldwide.

In extreme environments and unconventional use cases, the AWAH Z3 has demonstrated exceptional performance and reliability. Here are 5 typical cases showcasing the challenges it has faced and how they were handled.

Situation: During the lifting process, the drill suddenly detached, triggering the built-in safety lock.

Resolution: The device was safely lowered and sent for repairs before resuming operation.

Tips:

1. 1. Always stop lifting completely before removing the drill.
   2. Do not abruptly detach the drill while lifting to avoid damage.

Warning: Once the safety lock is activated, the device can still safely lower loads or personnel. However, it must be sent for inspection before reuse.

Situation: The device fell from a cliff approximately 80 meters high. Inspection revealed some damage to the casing, while the suspension points and gears remained intact.

Resolution: The device was decommissioned and stored at the factory.

Tips:

1. Use safety lanyards and hooks to prevent falling objects during high-altitude work.
2. Clean and lubricate the device after exposure to water to prevent corrosion.

Situation: A delayed stop of the drill caused the rope head to be pulled into the pulley, damaging the rope guard.

Resolution: The rope was removed, and the device continued to function normally after inspection.

Tips:

1. Monitor the rope end and adjust speed during lifting to prevent jams.
2. Always tie anti-slip knots at the rope ends for safety.

Situation: Prolonged use without lubrication caused significant wear on the guide rollers.

Resolution: The rollers were replaced by an authorized dealer, and the device continued operation.
Tips:Regularly clean and lubricate the guide rollers to prevent wear and inefficiency.

With its dual locking system and gear transmission, the AWAH Z3 sets itself apart from traditional hoists and descenders. Regular inspections and maintenance following manufacturer guidelines can significantly extend its lifespan and ensure safe operation in high-altitude tasks.
