Scott Safety Launches Industry's First All-Inclusive Portable Air Supply System

Monroe, NC — Scott Safety, a global leader in innovative personal protective equipment and safety devices, today unveiled its new RIT Pak III, the fire service industry’s first all-inclusive portable air supply system.

Developed with input from Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) Instructors and firefighters from across the country, Scott’s RIT Pak III is the most comprehensive RIT system on the market. Specifically designed for Emergency Response Teams, the RIT Pak III is field designed and tested.

The RIT Pak III includes a pressure reducer, high-pressure fill hose, low-pressure air supply hose and a lightweight carrying device. Unlike other RIT systems, Scott’s RIT Pak III is a universal tool that works perfectly in mutual aid situations regardless of the SCBA used by other fire departments.

“The launch of the RIT Pak III continues Scott Safety’s commitment to innovation and quality,” said John Dinning, Scott Safety fire service product line manager, North America. “Emergency Response Teams should not have the added stress of worrying about the reliability of rescue equipment. The RIT Pak III is a universal tool that will provide peace of mind for rescue teams.”

 Equipped with a protective skid plate, the RIT Pak system’s carrying case has two convenient storage pouches for easy access to rescue tools and rescue rope. A Hi-Viz orange material and reflective stripes on the case provide enhanced visibility.

An external pressure gauge provides pressure indicator lights to mimic those used on the Heads-Up Display on the Air-Pak SCBA. The universal low-pressure hose can be equipped with quick-connect fittings that work with other manufacturer’s SCBA.
