The DBI SALA Power tagline system is ideal for use in applications where bridge cranes or other temporary overhead obstructions exist and fall protection is needed. The system provides easy, remote access to an overhead self retracting lifeline. The power tagline system and self retracting lifeline (SRL) is mounted overhead and above moving obstruction(s). It is used to lower the SRL's lifeline allowing for attachment to the worker. Upon completion of work the system is used to raise the lifeline up and out of the way. Cranes and other overhead machinery are then free to pass. The power tagline system can be easily operated by one person. It can be remotely operated to lower the overhead mounted SRL's lifeline to the floor, allowing the worker to connect it to their harness. The worker now fully protected can safely climb and move around to complete their tasks. Upon completion, the user activates the Power Tagline lowering the counterweight to the floor. The user then simply attaches the lifeline hook to the weight and raises it up and out of the way.
