RETRACTABLE FALL ARRESTER-12 METER 4.8MM STEEL ROPE-DVU

·         Type of Device: Retractable Fall Arrester (Self-Retracting Lifeline / SRL).

·         Lifeline Material: High-strength 4.8 mm Steel Wire Rope (often stainless steel for corrosion resistance).

·         Lifeline Length: 12 meters (approx. 39.4 feet).

·         Casing: Robust and durable (e.g., high-impact polymer, aluminum, or steel).

·         Automatic Tensioning & Retraction: Keeps lifeline taut, minimizes trip hazards, and fall distance.

·         Rapid Locking System: Inertia-activated braking for instant fall arrest; limits impact force (e.g., < 6 kN).

·         Connectors:

o    Top: Steel karabiner or swivel eye for anchor.

o    Bottom: Swivel alloy steel snap hook with fall indicator for harness.

·         Fall Indicator: Visual indicator activates if unit experienced a fall, signaling removal from service.

·         Breaking Strength: Typically ?12 kN to ?25 kN.

·         User Capacity: Generally 100 kg to 140 kg (including tools).

·         Standards Compliance: Meets EN 360:2002; may comply with ANSI Z359.14 or VG11 RFU 11.060.
