The World's Smallest and Lightest Automated Rescue Device
Today, we proudly unveil the RESQ Solo X, a breakthrough in rescue equipment that’s set to redefine safety in high-altitude work. RESQ Solo X is the world's smallest and lightest automated rescue device – designed specifically for wind energy technicians, construction workers, and telecommunications professionals.
A Pocket-Sized Lifeline
High-altitude workers need rescue devices that are lightweight, simple to use, and reliable. With the rise of taller wind turbines and complex structures, traditional devices often fall short. Listening to industry feedback, we developed Solo X in collaboration with Siemens Gamesa to meet these demands. It’s a device built to ensure maximum safety while being extremely easy to handle.
RESQ Solo X is designed to be barely noticeable until you need it. It fits in your hand, hangs inconspicuously on your belt, and weighs as little as 3.6 kg for the 100m kit. Its compact size ensures it won’t add to the fatigue of long workdays, making it an essential piece of gear for anyone working at heights.
Fast, Simple, and Safe
When every second counts, RESQ Solo X is ready to deliver. Its ‘connect and GO!’ system is intuitive, ensuring fast and safe descents with minimal effort. The device's automated operation minimizes human error, and automatic activation means there’s no need for complicated setups or button-pushing – simply connect and descend.
Equipped with an advanced braking system, Solo X guarantees a smooth and controlled descent. The integrated swivel reduces the risk of rope twisting, contributing to a safer and more efficient evacuation process. With minimal moving parts and 100% mechanical integrity, the device is engineered for various environments and conditions.
Safety is paramount, and RESQ Solo X has undergone rigorous testing in training facilities, test environments, and real-world conditions. It meets the highest industry standards, including European (EN 341:2011 – 1D) and American (ANSI Z359.4:2013) certifications, proving its reliability and safety under extreme circumstances.
Developed with Siemens Gamesa
Our partnership with Siemens Gamesa has been crucial in creating a product that meets the industry's needs. Jan Østergaard Laugesen and Poul Parning of Siemens Gamesa said, "We wanted a device that was lightweight, simple to use, and capable of meeting the demands of taller turbines. Solo X does just that – it’s designed for a single person, so it’s as easy as ‘connect and go’.”
Minimal Training, Maximum Safety
Ease of use is key to RESQ Solo X. It requires only basic GWO training, making it accessible for professionals across various industries. Its straightforward design ensures minimal steps for deployment, so workers can respond swiftly during emergencies.
