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.
