Product Overview
The Portwest Ultra 2 Point Harness is a fundamental component of any height safety system, engineered to provide comprehensive full-body support and security. Designed with both safety and user efficiency in mind, this harness features multiple attachment points, including a rear dorsal D-Ring and front D-Rings, ensuring versatile connectivity for various fall arrest and positioning tasks. With its robust construction and intuitive design, it offers the peace of mind required when working in high-risk environments where gravity is a constant factor.
Key Features
- Rear Dorsal D-Ring: This primary anchor point is positioned to keep the wearer upright during a fall, ensuring the harness performs its critical life-saving function effectively.
- Front D-Rings: These provide additional attachment versatility for specific rescue or work-positioning scenarios, making the harness adaptable to various site requirements.
- Three Adjustment Points: These allow for a precise, secure fit tailored to the wearer's body, which is essential for ensuring the load is distributed correctly in the event of a fall.
- Quick Release Buckles: These buckles facilitate rapid and easy fitting, reducing the time spent on preparation without compromising on the security of the fastening.
- Integrated Rip Indicators: These visual markers are vital for safety inspections, providing an immediate and clear indication if the harness has been subjected to the stresses of a fall and needs to be retired.
Design & Performance
The performance of this harness is rooted in its high-quality materials. It is constructed from durable nylon webbing, which offers excellent strength-to-weight ratios and resistance to the rigours of daily site work. The hardware is equally impressive, featuring heat-treated alloy steel that provides exceptional durability and impact resistance. While it is a substantial, sturdy harness, it is designed to be worn for extended periods, with the adjustment points ensuring that the weight of the equipment is distributed evenly across the body.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation on the Portwest Ultra 2 Point Harness for critical safety reasons. Any form of embroidery or heat-applied printing can potentially damage the structural integrity of the nylon webbing or obscure important safety information and rip indicators. When it comes to Life Safety Equipment (LSE), maintaining the manufacturer's original specification is paramount to ensure the product performs exactly as intended during an emergency.
Use Cases
This harness is designed for professionals working at height across various sectors, including construction, telecommunications, and industrial maintenance. It is particularly suited for tasks requiring EN 361 compliance, where a reliable and easily inspected fall arrest solution is mandatory.

Practical Advice
Safety is only effective if the equipment is used correctly. We recommend that the harness is worn over standard workwear but adjusted snugly to avoid any slack that could increase the force of a fall. Always conduct a 'buddy check' with a colleague before ascending to ensure all buckles are properly secured and the webbing is not twisted.
Caring for your product
Proper care and maintenance of your harness are essential for ensuring its longevity and, more importantly, your safety. We recommend cleaning the nylon webbing with a mild soap and lukewarm water to remove dirt and grit, which can otherwise act as an abrasive and weaken the fibres over time.
Avoid the use of harsh chemical cleaners, solvents, or bleach, as these can cause chemical degradation of the synthetic materials, potentially leading to equipment failure. Always allow the harness to dry naturally away from direct heat sources or sunlight, as excessive heat can make the webbing brittle. Finally, store your harness in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture and UV damage between uses.
