Ready-Made Height Safety Kits: Tower, Rescue and Facade Kits Compared

Sourcing a harness, rope, karabiners and lanyards one at a time — and hoping they’re actually compatible with each other — is how a fall-protection system ends up with mismatched parts. SHL stocks three ready-made kits, each built for a specific job, with every component already matched.

In short: the Tower Kit is built for climbing structures like telecom towers. The Rescue Kit adds dedicated rescue components on top of a full working kit. The Façade & Window Cleaning Kit is scoped specifically for building-exterior access work. All three include a full body harness as the base component, plus the rope, connectors and bag matched to that job.

Tower Kit — for climbing structures

The Tower Kit (707-TK653) is built for personnel working on tall structures like telecom towers. It includes a full body harness, rope grab, webbing sling, 50m twisted rope, a twin webbing lanyard with energy absorber and scaffold hooks, plus a kit bag and tool bag — bigger hooks and easily adjustable lanyards for climbers who need to move and reposition frequently.

Rescue Kit — for technical rescue and maintenance

The Rescue Kit (707-RK652) is the most complete of the three: full body harness, grip descender, rope grab, webbing sling, karabiner, 50m braided rope, 50m twisted rope, an adjustable grip work positioning lanyard, a twin webbing lanyard with energy absorber and scaffold hooks, a cow’s tail, a knife, and a kit bag. It’s suitable for both rescue scenarios and general work-at-height maintenance where you need both ascending and descending capability in one kit.

Façade & Window Cleaning Kit — for building exterior access

The Façade & Window Cleaning Kit (707-FWCK651) is scoped for personnel working façade jobs specifically: full body harness, grip descender, rope grab, webbing sling, karabiner, 50m braided rope, 50m twisted rope, a kit bag and a tool bag. It’s built for controlled descent along a building face rather than climbing a fixed structure like a tower.

Buying the kit vs buying the parts

Every kit here already matches coupling types, rope diameters and D-ring configurations to each other — the same compatibility issue we cover in our rope access equipment guide. If your job matches one of these three use cases closely, the kit is the simpler and safer starting point. If your needs are more specific, we can still quote components individually.

Frequently asked questions

What’s included in the Tower Kit?

A full body harness, rope grab, webbing sling, 50m twisted rope, a twin webbing lanyard with energy absorber and scaffold hooks, plus a kit bag and tool bag — built for climbing structures like telecom towers.

What’s the difference between the Rescue Kit and the Façade & Window Cleaning Kit?

The Rescue Kit adds a cow’s tail and knife for technical rescue scenarios and includes both braided and twisted rope. The Façade & Window Cleaning Kit is scoped for controlled descent along a building face and doesn’t include the rescue-specific components.

Do these kits include everything needed, or do I still need to buy anything separately?

Each kit includes a matched harness, rope, connectors and bag for its intended job. Consumable or wear items, and any task-specific extras, can be quoted separately.

Should I buy a kit or source components individually?

If your work matches one of these three use cases, the kit is the simpler option since every component is already compatible. For more specific or mixed requirements, individual components can still be quoted.
