RETRACTABLE FALL ARRESTER BLOCKS

What is a Retractable Fall Arrester Block? Retractable Fall Arrester Block is a vertical lifeline that is used as part of a complete fall arrest system. The lifeline, much like the seat and shoulder belt in a car, pulls out and retracts easily. Subjected to a quick jerk, however, an internal mechanism acts to engage a braking system. When the tension is released, the lifeline moves freely again. During a fall event, the internal braking system of the Block functions to disperse the energy of the fall over a short distance, thus limiting the force applied to a user’s body.

Features of Retractable Blocks

• Can be anchored to a single point and allows the user to move uninhibited at different levels. • Fall Arrest Block or SRL retracts or extends with the user when moving up or down. • In the event of a fall the Fall Arrest Block locks immediately whilst reducing the applied force to less than 6kN.

Retractable Blocks are made of high impact strength polymer, to prevent breakage and is nearly indestructible. It can sustain any kind of impact which may be encountered in the toughest of conditions.

Retractable Blocks come with a unique swivel action of the Anchorage Eye. This prevents any undue twist of the user and subsequent injurious impact in the event of a fall.

Retractable Wire Rope Blocks are provided with a ‘Holding Snout’ made of soft Thermoplastic Elastomer The Snout minimizes accidental locking of the Block when the wire rope is released suddenly: The Holding snout provided dampens the impact experienced on the Block casing when the wire rope is released suddenly. This prevents the Block from locking accidentally in such cases, and hence allows for better usage.

Allows a safer and more comfortable grip on the wire rope when the Block is inspected for retraction and locking prior to use.
