Fall Arrest Inertia Reel, Self-Retracting Lifeline (SRL) Blocks to EN360
Fall arrest inertia reels certified to EN360 provide a reliable solution for minimising fall distances, crucial for those working at heights. By decreasing fall distance, the likelihood of injury is reduced, making rescue operations more straightforward. Our selection of fall arrest inertia reels features lifeline lengths of up to 60 metres, ensuring safety in various situations.
We proudly carry products from reputable manufacturers, including Globestock, Tractel, DBI-Sala, Protecta, Miller, Yale, Ridgegear, and others, offering models designed for offshore or outdoor applications, lightweight options, and robust units with stainless steel components.
When using inertia reels, it's essential to adhere to the manufacturer’s specified angles. Always consult the labels and instructions provided with each device. Most self-retracting lifelines (SRLs) should be used within 40 degrees of vertical (though this should be checked in the specific device user manual), but we also supply inertia reels suitable for horizontal applications. It's important to exercise caution, as improper use can lead to dangers like the “pendulum effect,” which may cause ground impact after a fall is arrested.
Alongside our range of EN360 blocks, which you can see below, that are designed specifically for fall arrest, is another type of fall arrest block with a built-in rescue winch function for the retrieval of a fallen casualty, which is not only certified to EN360 but also EN1496, for rescue lifting devices.

All Fall Arrest Inertia Reel, Self-Retracting Lifeline (SRL) Blocks to EN360



The IKAR Devices have been specifically developed to offer fall protection and rescue in one, easy to use unit. Working similar to a car safety belt, during normal use the user can move freely whilst the galvanised steel cable lifeline is kept under permanent tension. In the event of a fall the locking system will activate and the internal brake disk will absorb energy to well below the 6kN limit required by the DIN EN 360 standard.
Product features: Easy to use, low-maintenance design. load carrying capacity. > 1 person, 12Skg - max. Various cable lengths available. Shockproof aluminium housing. Single handed, double action hook to connect to the users harness. Double action hook has swivel function to eliminate cable twisting. large carrying and attachment handle.





Ridgegear Mini Fall Arrest Block is a retractable mini web block ideal for personal issue to operatives working at height. The unit is designed to be connected, and worn directly on a fall arrest harness. Has an almost instant "lock off" in the event of a fall, and recoils into the drum when slack is introduced into the lanyard. The reduced trip hazard and compact design make this unit ideal for tight work and tasks where a shorter arc of mobility is required.



Ridgegear 6m lightweight Fall Arrest Block is a lightweight and small multi purpose fall arrest block, which allows uninhibited movement during normal working activity. For self-connecting to the block, it is recommended that the operative uses an extension strop (RGL4) in order to ease the task. The cable can come in two different types - either 5mm Galvanized steel wire rope, or can come in 5mm stainless steel.

Ridgegear 10m Fall Arrest block is a multi purpose fall arrest block, which allows uninhibited movement during normal working activity. The carrying handle is part of the cast alloy housing and can be connected to the anchorage point using soft slings or a karabiner. For self-connecting to the block, it is recommended that the operative uses an extension strop (RGL4) in order to ease the task.
The RGA2 has a working length of 10 metres which is available in either 5mm Galvanised steel or a 5mm Stainless steel.

Ridgegear RGA3 15 Metre Wire Fall Arrest Block is a robust fall arrest block with a long working length and heavier construction. The carrying handle is part of the cast alloy housing and can be connected to the anchorage point using soft slings or a Karabiner. The RGA3 has a working length of 15 metres with the availability to come with 5mm Galvanised steel wire rope or 5mm Stainless steel.

Specifications Accredited to: EN 360 and EN 1496 A&B Cable spec: 15 x 5 galvanised steel wire rope (also available with stainless steel wire) Connector: Double action, high tensile steel alloy Weight: 11.35 Features: Fall indicating connector, retrieval system Size mm: L 340 x W258 x D 80 Max arrest force <6kN Approx arrest distance: 0.5m. Available with either a Galvanised steel wire rope or Stainless steel wire rope.

Ridgegear 15 metre Fall Arrest and Rescue Block With steady Handle has the benefit of an additional steadying handle. Like the RGA4, the RGA4H is a three way retrieval block fitted with an up/down winch mechanism and the standard fall arrest capability. This handle facility is most usefull when not solid mounted to a tripod or other structure. This unit can be used as a standard fall arrest block, but in the event of a fall, the operative can be winched up or down to safety almost immediately. Available in either Galvanised steel wire rope or Stainless steel wire rope.


Exclusive design provides both fall arrest with assisted rescue capabilities and automatic self rescue for ultimate versatility. When in Fall arrest mode, the Unit stops falls within few decimetres and limits the forces to 6kN for less for added safety. Features Assisted rescue procedures can then be implemented either at the mode selector or remotely with a First-Man-Up™ pole. Self rescue mode automatically lowers the user to the next level after a fall. Lightweight and long lasting durable reinforced plastic housing. Incorporates a built-in carrying handle for easy transportation. 15 m cable extends and retracts automatically enabling the user to move around the work area protected. i-Safe™ Intelligent Safety System is built-into every unit to track inspections, control inventory and manage information. Designed to meet worldwide standards including CE EN360 and EN341.
















Retractable blocks totally eliminate the tripping hazards associated with a traditional fall arrest lanyard or rope guided fall arrestor (rope grab system). We offer many brands of retractable (spring recoil) fall arrest reels with a range of different options such as lanyard length, rope material (galvanised wire rope or stainless steel wire, dyneema fibre rope or polyester webbing), built in swivels, lightweight, impact resistant, corrosion resistant (stainless steel) and compact designs. 3M DBI-Sala offer sealed inertia reels for the harshest of environments. All of the blocks that we offer are quality manufactured units from the industry leading manufacturers of fall protection products.
