SALA Fall Arrest Inertia Reel Block (Fall Limiter) with Integrated Automatic Descender. Steel Cable Lanyard - 15 Metre

Automatic fall arrest function:

Unlike descenders or evacuation devices, the tension of the retraction spring is that of a normal fall arrest block relight. This allows the user to easily work unhindered; the cable accompanies his movements whilst maintaining a slight tension.

Descender function:

In the event of a fall, the descender function is automatically triggered after just a few centimetres of descent. The device then functions as a powerful restraint force, like an automatic descender or an evacuation tool.

The person connected is then lowered automatically at a constant speed (from 1.5 to 2m/s) to the ground.

Product applications and advantages:

With evacuation being automatic, there is no need for additional means of evacuation to retrieve the person who has suffered a fall.

The main applications of this automatic fall arrest with integrated descender function include rescue operations where the intervention of a third party is not possible or desired (e.g., military training exercises, etc.)

Limitations of use:

For applications in which reaching the ground may be dangerous, the user cannot be evacuated automatically. In such cases, this product should not be used.

This product must undergo maintenance as soon as the number of descents reaches the limit imposed by standard EN 341, class C.
