MSA Latchways PRD®
controlled descent

This item is unavailable in Middle East region.

The MSA Latchways PRD® Personal rescue device is a revolutionary self-rescue harness. It is a lightweight, unobtrusive personal rescue device that is accommodated in a small “backpack” attached with a full body harness. It is designed for application together with the fall arrest system or with anchor attachment point.

In the event of a fall the PRD® device lowers the person gently to the ground in a controlled descent. The device includes a 20-meters aramid rope which is released in a regulated speed due to the breaking mechanism. An innovated design includes the use of high-quality components and a limited number of moving components to provide 100% mechanical strength of the device.

Benefits:

  • Components: descent line made from Aramid rope (UHMwPE rope with Aramid overbraid)
  • Training: requires minimum user training – no need of annual re-training.
  • Maintenance: regular inspection requires a number of visual checks, performed by a competent specialist (a full operation manual is supplied).

Total weight: 3.6 kg (harness – 1 kg, protective device – 2.6 kg).
