The Latchways PRD® (Personal Rescue Device) revolutionizes the rescue process by integrating a lightweight, unobtrusive self-rescue system directly into a full-body harness. Contained within a compact “backpack” unit, this system is designed for seamless use alongside a fall protection system or anchor point — ensuring rapid, safe, and independent descent in the event of a fall.

Key Features:

 • In the event of a fall, the device lowers the user gently to the ground in a controlled descent.

 • Dramatically reduces rescue time by enabling self-evacuation without the need for external assistance.

 • 20m descent height for versatile use across industrial and construction applications.

 • Descent speed: 0.5–2m per second for smooth and safe lowering.

 • Supports up to 140kg worker capacity.
