Stop using outdated tech – the RESQ Solo X is here

This revolutionary product is the result of a close and collaborative partnership between Cresto Safety and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy. As a proud member of the Cresto Alliance, STL USA is delighted to be able to bring this groundbreaking device to the USA market.

The RESQ Solo X represents another great addition to the RESQ line of rescue and evacuation devices which are the benchmark for quality, performance and safety around the world.

Cresto Safety x Siemens Gamesa

This revolutionary product brings a new standard of safety and simplicity to wind professionals working at height.

From the very start of this project, the RESQ team set out with one clear goal: to make wind turbine evacuations safer, simpler, and more reliable. Working alongside the safety experts at Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE), RESQ listened, adapted, and designed a solution that meets the complex needs of technicians operating in challenging environments. The outcome? A device that’s lightweight, easy to carry, and offers peace of mind in the most demanding situations.

“Exactly What We Needed”

Jan Østergaard Laugesen, Senior Key Expert Engineering – Team Lead SE EQS OTM at SGRE, expressed his delight with the final product. Reflecting on the process, he shared: “The design, the size, the weight – exactly what we needed.” RESQ Solo X was engineered to reduce both the weight and complexity of existing evacuation solutions, addressing one of the key challenges faced by wind professionals.

Jan further explained the significance of this breakthrough: “RESQ Solo X reduces both the weight and the complexity, making evacuation simpler and safer.” Whether it’s climbing higher turbines or moving between multiple locations, the Solo X delivers unmatched portability. “It is reliable, portable, and easy to carry. The device is designed to go with you, ensuring safety no matter where you are,” he added.

Designed with Wind Techs in Mind

From the outset, RESQ’s and Siemens Gamesa’s shared focus was on crafting a device that technicians could trust and rely on. Poul Parning, Senior EQS PPE Specialist at SGRE, highlighted this priority: “We wanted a device that was lightweight, simple to use, and capable of meeting the demands of taller turbines. The Solo X does just that — it’s designed for a single person, so it’s as easy as connect and go.”

Solo X has a sleek and ergonomic design bringing added benefits. Poul emphasised: “The Solo X checks all those boxes — it’s functional, reliable, and looks great too.” We know that confidence in safety equipment comes not only from its functionality but also from how it feels and looks, making the Solo X a device that technicians will want to carry with them every day.

Celebrating the Journey

This collaboration Cresto/RESQ Siemens Gamesa has been a journey of innovation, problem-solving, and trust. Working hand-in-hand with industry experts like Jan and Poul has allowed Cresto Safety to push the boundaries of what’s possible in height safety solutions. The result is a product that we are incredibly proud of – one that addresses real-world challenges and brings a new level of safety to wind professionals everywhere.
