Tie Down PX3 Rescue Winch System with 100 ft Galvanized Lifeline
The PX3 Rescue Winch System turns the PX3 cart into a rescue station. It mounts to the cart and carries 100 ft of galvanized steel lifeline on a manual winch with a folding handle, so a rescuer can raise a fallen worker back to the roof or lower them to the ground without waiting on the fire department.
A swivel snap hook with an impact indicator connects to the fallen worker, and the whole system stores in its carry bag in the PX3 toolbox. Every PX3 that goes on a roof should have one, because OSHA requires a prompt rescue plan for every worker in fall arrest.

Who Needs This Product
Any crew working from a PX3 cart. OSHA 1926.502(d)(20) requires the employer to provide for prompt rescue of employees in the event of a fall, and a suspended worker can develop suspension trauma in minutes. The rescue winch gives the crew on the roof a way to raise or lower a fallen coworker immediately.
Features
100 ft of lifeline
Enough galvanized cable to lower a worker to grade from most low rise commercial roofs or raise them back to the deck.
Manual winch
Hand cranked with a folding handle, no power needed on the roof.
Impact indicator hook
The swivel snap hook shows when it has taken a fall load so it can be retired.
Mounts to the PX3
Designed to attach to the 72810 cart; the installation video below shows the mount.
Stores on the cart
Comes in a carry bag that fits the PX3 locking toolbox.
Completes the rescue plan
Pair it with a written rescue plan and trained rescuers who tie off to the remaining cart points.
Rescue equipment, not an anchor. The winch is for raising or lowering a fallen worker; it is not a fall arrest tie-off point. Rescuers tie off to the PX3 fall arrest and restraint points per the manual. Train the crew before the first shift and inspect the hook indicator after any load.
