Features

Latchways PRD is a game-changing integrated harness system that, in the event of a fall, lowers the user to the ground in a controlled descent. It’s a lightweight, unobtrusive rescue device contained in a small backpack attached to a full-body harness. Used in conjunction with a fall protection system or anchor point, the Latchways PRD allows you to go about your work, hands-free.

Because the device is worn as part of a standard harness, it saves both time and cost – since no special training is required. In the event of a fall, the Latchways PRD harness suspends users, then allows them to lower themselves by pulling the “rip cord,” which, with its spool and integral braking mechanism, brings them safely to ground.
