PortX Rescue

Built for demanding work-at-height and confined space environments, the PortX Rescue combines a robust aluminium casing with a long-life galvanised steel cable to deliver dependable fall protection and rescue performance in challenging conditions.

The durable aluminium housing provides excellent protection for internal components while remaining lightweight for easy handling and installation. Designed to withstand the knocks, impacts, and harsh conditions commonly encountered on industrial sites, it helps ensure reliable operation when safety is critical.

The galvanised steel cable features a protective zinc coating that helps resist corrosion and wear, maintaining consistent performance throughout its service life. This durable cable construction provides long-term reliability in demanding environments, reducing maintenance requirements while giving operators confidence in the integrity of their fall protection and rescue equipment.

Designed to make day-to-day operation as simple and efficient as possible, the PortX Rescue incorporates a range of features that reduce setup time, improve handling, and streamline equipment management. An integrated carry handle makes transportation between work areas easier, while compatibility with Reid systems allows the same device to be deployed across multiple applications without the need for additional equipment.

The universal bracket design enables fast, tool-free installation, helping operators get to work quickly while reducing downtime on site. A corrosion-resistant finish helps maintain reliable performance in harsh environments, while optional support fins provide enhanced compatibility across the Reid range. Together, these features simplify system selection, reduce inventory requirements, and deliver a more efficient, user-friendly solution for working at height and rescue applications.

The PortX Rescue incorporates a range of intelligent safety features designed to protect operators, minimise the risk of misuse, and ensure the device is ready to perform when it matters most.

The switchable retrieval mode activator helps prevent accidental engagement of rescue mode during normal fall protection use, reducing the risk of operator error while ensuring retrieval functionality can be activated quickly and intentionally during an emergency.

An integrated fall indicator provides a clear visual indication if the unit has been subjected to a fall, allowing operators to immediately identify equipment that requires inspection or servicing. This simplifies pre-use checks, supports ongoing compliance, and helps ensure only equipment in a safe working condition remains in service.

The retracting hoist handle automatically folds away when not required, removing potential obstructions and reducing snag hazards during normal operation. By keeping the unit more compact and streamlined, it improves user comfort, enhances freedom of movement, and helps create a safer working environment when operating in confined or restricted spaces.

The PortX Rescue delivers the flexibility needed to perform across varied working environments. A 20m cable length provides the reach required for the majority of access and rescue scenarios, giving operators greater coverage from a single device and reducing the need for additional equipment.

The 360° swivel anchor point allows the SRL to remain aligned with the user as they move, helping to minimise cable twisting and ensuring smooth, unrestricted operation. This freedom of movement improves user comfort, reduces potential snagging risks, and helps maintain optimal performance throughout the task.

Together, these features enable the PortX Rescue to adapt to changing site requirements, providing operators with a versatile solution that supports safe, efficient working across a broad range of applications.

The PortX Rescue SRL is designed to work seamlessly across a range of Reid products, from PPE systems to gantries and davits. This versatility allows organisations to deploy the same trusted fall protection and rescue device across multiple applications.

As the PortX Rescue is compatible, operators can standardise the SRL and relevant bracket, regardless of the Reid system being used. This reduces the need to purchase, store, inspect, and maintain multiple SRLs for different applications, simplifying equipment management while lowering inventory costs.

For users, this also means greater flexibility when moving between projects and work environments. Whether operating from a gantry, davit or ppe system, the same PortX Rescue can be quickly transferred and deployed, providing a familiar, compliant solution that supports both fall arrest and emergency retrieval.

Fully compliant with EN 1496:2017 Class B, the PortX Rescue is independently certified for both fall arrest and emergency rescue, providing confidence that the system is designed and tested to perform when needed most. Whether protecting workers during routine access or enabling rapid retrieval following a fall, the PortX Rescue delivers dependable safety for demanding work-at-height and confined space applications.

For a complete safety solution, the PortX Rescue can be used in conjunction with the PortX Personnel Winch, combining fall protection, emergency retrieval, and personnel lifting capabilities within a single integrated system. Together, they provide a versatile solution for safe access, work positioning, and rescue operations across a wide range of safety-critical environments.
