Vertical Rescue Equipment

Why vertical rescue equipment matters

A fall or collapse at height often leaves someone suspended or stranded in a vertical space. Getting them out safely means controlled raising, lowering and packaging in high-angle terrain. Vertical rescue equipment, descent and retrieval devices, pulleys, rescue kits and stretchers, is built for exactly that. Suspension trauma makes speed critical, so having the gear ready and your team trained on it is what makes a fast rescue possible.

Plan and equip for vertical rescue before you ever need it.

How our vertical rescue equipment is different

We are an independent height safety specialist, and rescue is core to what we do. So our vertical rescue range is chosen for real-world performance, from brands we trust.

Everything is rated and built to the relevant standards for rescue and retrieval. And because we run rescues ourselves, we can help you build a kit that matches your scenarios, your team and your environment.

Build your capability with our rescue equipment, descenders, pulleys and snatch blocks and confined space kits. For short-term needs, see our rescue equipment hire.

How to choose the right vertical rescue equipment for you

1. Start with your scenarios. Tower, rope access, confined space and structural rescue each need different gear. Plan for what you face.
2. Kit or components. A rescue kit gives you a ready system. Components let you tailor it. Many teams use both.
3. Raising and lowering. Make sure your setup can both lower and raise a casualty under control.
4. Train on it. Rescue gear only works if your team can use it under pressure. Choose equipment you will practise with.
