Latchways PRD harness

Latchways has revolutionised the rescue process with the development of the Latchways PRD®—an integrated harness system allowing self-rescue. The lightweight, unobtrusive rescue device is contained in a small ‘backpack’ attached to a full body harness and is designed to be used in conjunction with a fall protection system or anchor point. In the event of a fall the Latchways PRD®harness suspends the user and then allows them to gently lower themselves to the ground in a controlled descent. The device features a 20 m  spool of Aramid rope which is released at a controlled rate through an integral braking mechanism. The innovative design uses quality componentry and a limited number of moving parts to always ensure 100% mechanical integrity.
