MANUAL. COMPACT. CONTROLLED.

SMARTLINE X

MANUAL CONTROL FOR COMPLEX RESCUES

RESQ SMARTLINE X is a compact, manually controlled evacuation device for trained teams working in structures where the rescue route is rarely a straight line down.

It operates up to 200 m (selected variants) and performs best in environments below 100 m — where obstacles, tight exits and repositioning often matter as much as descent.

What is a manual evacuation device?
A manual evacuation device allows the user to control descent speed using a friction or brake mechanism. It enables precision handling during descent. 
When is a manual descent device preferred?
Manual control is often preferred when the descent path includes obstacles, restricted openings, structural elements or repositioning steps that require active manoeuvring. 
Who is SMARTLINE X designed for?
SMARTLINE X is designed for trained users and teams operating in complex structures where controlled handling is part of the rescue method. 
What does “best below 100 metres” mean?
“Best below 100 metres” indicates suitability for typical rescue routes at moderate heights where manoeuvrability and controlled positioning are prioritised. 
Can manual evacuation devices be used for assisted rescue?
In some rescue methods, manual control can support assisted evacuation and repositioning, provided the system and procedure are designed accordingly and users are trained to execute the method safely. 
What competence is required for manual evacuation equipment?
Manual equipment typically requires higher competence than automatic systems. Organisations should define training frequency, drills and assessment criteria to ensure reliable performance. 
What is the EL/TELE version?
EL/TELE refers to a configuration designed for specific pole and tower rescue methods, commonly associated with certain regional working practices. 
What is Quick Access packaging?
Quick Access packaging is designed to allow rapid opening and deployment of the rescue kit during an emergency.
