List of products by brand Heightec

heightec® – British innovation in rope access and rescue

The heightec brand is a renowned British manufacturer of specialized equipment designed for work at height, rope access and advanced industrial rescue. For more than a quarter of a century, the company has been designing and manufacturing premium solutions for the most demanding industries – wind energy, telecommunications, offshore and emergency services.

Philosophy „The Height of Innovation”

All of the brand's products are made in the UK, combining technical excellence with stringent safety standards. The equipment is designed by expert practitioners, which translates into unique, patented design patents that virtually eliminate the risk of human error when working in extreme conditions.

What key products does heightec offer?

DUON series safety helmets

This is the brand's flagship, patented innovation in the field of head protection.

DUON / DUON-Air – one-of-a-kind helmets that allow you to mechanically change the configuration of the safety standard parameters using an integrated switch. The user can adjust the force of the chin strap (weak force according to EN 397 for industrial work prevents suffocation, strong force according to EN 12492 protects the head from breaking off the helmet when working at height).

Professional harnesses and safety harnesses

Designed for maximum ergonomics, low weight and fatigue reduction during hours of hanging in rope access:

• NEXUS & MATRIX – advanced industrial and rope harnesses equipped with profiled hip and thigh pads. Selected models have dedicated straps on the shoulder straps for storing unused hooks of cables with a shock absorber.
• HELIX Climbers Harness – a lightweight and fully adjustable harness created especially for fitters working on masts and wind turbines.
• VORTEX WTG – a specialized harness dedicated to the renewable energy sector (wind farms) with reinforced friction protection points inside the turbine tower.

Rope devices and belay devices

Heightec is famous for its proprietary cam and locking mechanisms (in X-Cam Pro™ technology), which minimize the risk of damage to the textile rope core:

• QUANTUM – the iconic back-up device for rope access. It works smoothly on the belay line, following the worker without the need for manual swiping and instantly blocks the fall.
• PULSAR & SYNC – advanced clamping devices (chest and ankle) used for efficient and safe rope climbing.
• PRISM & MICRON – compact downhill devices (descenders) that guarantee smooth speed control when lowering the rope.

Rescue and evacuation systems and kits

Comprehensively completed rescue kits, packed in armoured, waterproof transport bags from the KARI series:

• RescuePack Reach / RescueHauler – rescue systems that allow remote pick-up and safe lowering or lifting of an injured worker hanging on a structure without the need for a rescuer to approach the injured person directly. They use an advanced pulley with a HURRICANE lock.
• CHRYSALIS – a specialized, roll-up and folding rescue stretcher with an integrated harness for vertical and horizontal evacuation, allowing the safe evacuation of the injured from confined spaces or steep surfaces.
• X-IT Casualty Harness – a simple and reliable evacuation triangle designed to quickly pick up an evacuated person.

Safety cables and shock absorbers

• ELITE & TENSOR – double and single belay lines with a shock absorber that absorbs the energy of falls. They feature a patented braid to prevent the rope arms from twisting and an integrated suspension relief footloop that automatically unfolds after a fall, allowing the worker to relieve pressure on the femoral arteries while waiting for help.
• Double lunge with a heightec ELITE twin lanyard 1.5m – tri-act, STEPLOCK hook (manufacturer's code: L2T150B) is a specialized premium safety equipment. It has been designed for technicians working in the telecommunications sector and on overhead power lines.
• ELITE with STEPLOCK™ latch: Profiled deep-arc hooks that are factory-fitted for plugging directly into mast ladder treads and hatch screws with diameters φ 16 mm and φ 20 mm. They guarantee a stable working position and eliminate the risk of adverse lateral load on the connector.
• The heightec ELITE twin lanyard, 1.7m – Steplock, clip back for overhead lines (product code: L2T170BC) is an advanced premium belay device, created especially for fitters working on overhead power lines and over-head line towers. Key elements of the design STEPLOCK™ snap bolts: Profiled hooks with a deep arc that are factory-fitted for fastening directly into mast ladder treads and hatch bolts with diameters φ 16 mm and φ 20 mm. They guarantee a stable working position and eliminate the risk of unfavorable lateral load on the fastener.

Tri-Act Harness Linkage: Automatic triple-action locking carabiner to minimize the risk of accidental opening of the lock during operation.

Patented HELIX™ ropes: The 1.5-meter-long lunge arms are made with a unique weave technology that allows the rope to twist freely. This completely reduces the annoying tangling and kinking of the arms during constant switching.

Suspension Relief Footloop: A footstrap integrated into a shock absorber (energy absorber) that unfolds automatically when a fall is slowed down. It allows the injured worker to rest their feet and straighten their legs, which relieves the pressure of the harness on the femoral arteries and protects against the fatal shock of hanging while waiting for rescue.
