Tractel - Blocfor 50 ft. Leading Edge Self Retracting Lifeline -1/CS is included in Keyline Safety’s Self-Retracting Lifelines selection and our Fall Protection Equipment range.

The Blocfor 50ft Leading Edge Self Retracting Lifeline provides freedom of movement to workers performing their job at various heights. The Leading Edge Self Retracting Lifeline automatically takes up the slack in the wire rope, keeping it out of the way while minimizing the free fall distance, should a fall occur. In the event of a fall, the sudden jerk in the wire rope will activate the centrifugal locking mechanism, arresting the fall within 2 ft. (0.6 m).

HOUSING

• The Leading Edge Self Retracting Lifeline has a Synthetic case works with the frame to dissipate and absorb shock if dropped or struck by objects

CONSTRUCTION

• Isolated drum keeps all brake components contaminate-free
• All parts are corrosion resistant
• Mechanical parts are not dependent on the integrity of the housing

BRAKE MECHANISM

• The Leading Edge Self Retracting Lifeline has twin stainless steel disc brakes with copper/alloy coil in the centre (all parts are anti-spark)
• Twin inertia and speed-activated brake pawls are designed to activate and engage at the same time. This design compensates against gravitational effects when the block is used horizontally. As a result, the braking system of the blocfor offers faster reaction

DESIGN

• Features a carabiner-positioning washer
• Rubber stop which is easy to take in hand and acts as a buffer when cable is accidentally released (high-speed recoil)
• Reinforced plastic rope guide is designed for high wear resistance, low cost and easy maintenance on the Leading Edge Self Retracting Lifeline
• Swivel self-locking snap hook has a visual fall indicator to allow inspection before each use
