Introducing the RESQ Solo X+ Tech and RED PRO X Mobile

In the high-stakes world of wind energy, utilities, and crane operations, every second matters—and safety equipment must deliver both reliability and simplicity. Our latest offerings blend cutting-edge engineering with user-friendly design. Let’s dive into what sets the RESQ Solo X+ Tech and RED PRO X Mobile apart and why they belong in every responder’s toolkit.

1. RESQ Solo X+ Tech — “Your pocket-sized lifesaver”

Why it’s a game-changer:

  • Ultra-compact, ultra-lightweight
    Roughly the size of an iPhone and as light as a laptop, its slim 4.8 mm rope weighs only 16.5 g/m, making it incredibly portable.

  • High-performance descent and rescue
    Safely evacuates people up to 141 kg from heights of up to 300 m. It features a durable steel centrifugal brake and a braided Twaron aramid rope—heat-resistant up to 450 °C—for reliable performance.

  • Built-in safety innovations
    An integrated swivel prevents rope twist, while the coreless design minimizes “ghost knots.” Together, these features ensure safer and smoother descents.

  • Built for extreme conditions
    Suitable for temperatures ranging from –40 °C to +60 °C, and built for global standards, making it ideal for harsh Nordic environments—and beyond.

  • Efficient lifecycle and compliance
    Offers a 15-year service interval plus another 15 years post-service, RFID tagging, yearly inspection, 2-year warranty, and meets EN 341 and ANSI Z359.4.

ideal for professionals seeking portability without compromising safety—especially in swift, one-person evacuation scenarios.

2. RED PRO X Mobile — “Robust Rescue. Ready Anywhere.”

Key features that make it shine:

  • Durable and ergonomically packaged
    Housed in a lift-certified bag with sealed brake housing for protection across job sites.

  • Heavy-duty descent and lifting
    Supports up to two users (40–200 kg), offering both descent and motorized lifting capabilities with compatibility for power-tool operation.

  • Trusted performance specs
    Handles up to 255 m of descent, with tested capacities up to 280 kg. A top-mounted swivel and front-facing controls streamline usage in confined spaces.

  • Low training burden, high functional reliability
    Intuitive layout allows for minimal training time, making it an economical choice across teams with varying certification backgrounds.

  • Built to last
    Incorporates RESQ Vacuum system (10-year service interval), comes with accessories, meets EN 341, EN 1496, ANSI Z359.4, and CSA Z259.2.3 standards, plus offers a 10 + 10-year lifecycle with 2-year warranty.

Perfect for operations that require rugged, long-reach rescue with lifting capacity—ideal for wind technicians and teams operating in remote or vertical environments.
