Rappel towers are platforms used to safely practice rappelling. In addition to recreational uses, first responders and military personnel utilize rappel towers as part of their tactical training. At Porta-King, we ensure safety and longevity of your structure with rappel towers that are built to last. They can be installed anywhere and are perfect in areas where access to a natural rappelling structure is not practical.
