Tie Down PX5 Rescue Winch Assembly with 100 ft Galvanized Lifeline
The PX5 Rescue Winch Assembly mounts to the PX5 Original (72838) and PX5 Sentinel (72833) carts and carries 100 ft of galvanized steel lifeline on a manual winch with a folding handle. A rescuer on the roof raises a fallen worker back to the deck or lowers them to grade in minutes.
A swivel snap hook with an impact indicator connects to the fallen worker and the system stores in its carry bag, in the Sentinel's material box or on the PX5. Per the Tie Down manual the winch is for membrane and deck applications; it cannot be used when the Sentinel is set up for concrete.

Who Needs This Product
Any crew working from a PX5 Original or PX5 Sentinel on a membrane, metal deck or plywood roof. OSHA 1926.502(d)(20) requires a prompt rescue plan for every worker in fall arrest, and with up to five workers in arrest on a PX5 the crew needs a way to raise or lower a coworker immediately.
Features
100 ft of lifeline
Galvanized steel cable long enough to lower a worker to grade or raise them back to the deck on most low rise commercial roofs.
Manual winch
Hand cranked with a folding handle, no power 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 both PX5 carts
Fits the PX5 Original and the PX5 Sentinel; the installation videos below show the mount.
Stores on the cart
Comes in a carry bag that fits the Sentinel material box.
Completes the rescue plan
Pair it with a written plan and trained rescuers who tie off to the remaining cart points.
Not for concrete applications. The Tie Down manual states the rescue winch cannot be used when the PX5 Sentinel is set up on concrete. Plan a separate rescue method for concrete work. The winch is rescue equipment, not a fall arrest tie-off point.
