Falltech 7489 Hinged Trailing Fall Arrester

A personal fall arrest system is made up of a combination of fall protection components. The first component is the vertical lifeline (VLL), which is typically composed of a rope of various materials, lengths and end terminations. When a VLL is combined with connectors, a shock absorbing lanyard (SAL), a fall arrestor (rope grab) and a counter weight, it becomes a fall arrester connector subsystem (FACSS). A FACSS, combined with an anchorage and full body harness, form a personal fall arrest system (PFAS). This assembly of components and subsystems is what is used to arrest a person during a fall event.

• Hinged design allows user installation at any point on the lifeline
• Anti-panic function places pressure on the lifeline should a user grip the lever in the open position
• Trailing mobility follows ascending and descending user with minimal effort
• Cam-action braking design quickly locks on the lifeline to arrest the fall
• Tension roller and internal spring maintain lifeline position and allow user mobility
• Anti-inversion hinge cam prevents upside-down installation
• Double-locking closure helps prevent accidental opening
• Alloy steel construction for use with 5/8 in diameter synthetic rope lifeline and energy absorbing lanyard
