The Harken Safety and Rescue Wingman is the not so new mini haul kit or Set of Fours made by Harken Safety and Rescue. I have been using it all of 2023 and this is my review of the Wingman.
First of all Harken was kind enough to send this to me and get on a call to provide more information and help me out with this review. I am very thankful for that support.

It took a while to get the review done because I wanted to be sure and it is not a piece of gear I use everyday. And remember, I am approaching it from a rope access technicians perspective mostly and that has been 95% of it's use. Rigging and lifting things into place. That controlled lower ability makes a very nice device.

The Wingman is a mechanical-advantage device for load lifting and releasing. It is intended for work at height, access, and rescue use. It can be used for human suspension for up to a 3 kN load. It has a releasing handle that enables you to lower a load or casualty in a controlled manner similar to a descender. The MBS is 45kN and the device slips at 4kN. It has 15 meters of 8mm Sterling rope (I think HTP) that gives you about 3 meters of throw depending on orientation.
Since I started working on this video a 9 meter and 15 meter version have been released as well.
The Harken Wingman can be used for many things:
Pick of rescues
Litter scoops
Personal mechanical advantage
Load transfer
Personal positioning
Pre-tensioned back-ties
Redirect anchors
Dynamic deviations
And many more.
It is a great SOF and my favorite so far!
