SMALL AND LIGHTWEIGHT

As small as your phone and as light as a laptop, you’ll hardly notice you’re carrying it. With a super-thin, high performance line (4.8 mm in diameter and only 16.5g/m), the whole kit is ultra-lightweight and compact.

MAXIMUM SAFETY, MINIMUM FUSS

An integrated swivel reduces the risk of rope twist during use, and together with the coreless rope, reduces the risk of ’ghost knots,’ contributing to a safer descent.

  • Follow the user instructions
  • If the bag is opened or the device is used: inspect it every time
  • Use an authorised partner for service and repacking
  • Do not
  • Do not open the bag or use the device in training without following the user instructions

RESQ SOLO X

 

What is SOLO X designed for?
SOLO X is designed for one-person emergency self-evacuation from elevated structures. It provides a controlled descent method when standard access routes are unavailable or unsafe.
Is SOLO X a self-rescue device or a team rescue system?
 SOLO X is a personal self-rescue device. It is not intended for structured team rescue operations or casualty lifting.
How does “connect and go” evacuation work?
 “Connect and go” describes a simplified workflow in which the user connects the device to their harness and anchor point, transfers load to the system, and initiates descent with minimal operational steps. 
What is the difference between an automatic and a manual descent device?

Automatic descent devices prioritise reduced user actions during emergencies. Manual descent devices allow active speed and positioning control but typically require higher competence and decision-making during use.

SOLO X follows the automatic principle for simplified emergency response.


Where are personal evacuation devices typically used?
 Personal evacuation devices are used in wind turbines, towers, masts, industrial structures, rooftops, cranes and similar environments where emergency descent from height may be required.
What should we consider when choosing a personal evacuation device?

Key considerations include:

  • Required descent height

  • User weight range

  • Competence and training model

  • Storage readiness

  • Inspection and maintenance routines

  •  Compatibility with your documented rescue plan

  • Applicable standards and certifications

Does SOLO X come in different configurations?
Yes. SOLO X can be configured to match site procedures and working environments, including variations such as friction setup or rope-lock configuration options. 
How much training is needed for SOLO X?
 Training requirements depend on local regulations and site policy. Users should be competent, follow documented procedures and practise deployment so actions remain reliable under stress.
