SDFLEX Vertical Ladder Fall Arrest Lifeline
Guided fall arrester ladder lifeline with a tensioned 8 mm wire rope anchor line. Features a self-locking fall arrest device for safe ladder ascent and descent.
SDFlex / SLFA-5591


The SDFLEX Ladder Lifeline is an advanced guided-type fall arrester that has been meticulously designed to enhance safety for individuals working at heights. This innovative system incorporates a tensioned, 8 mm diameter wire rope, which serves as a rigid anchor line, providing a robust and reliable safety solution. The fall arrest device is equipped with a self-locking function, a guiding facility, and a shock-absorbing element, all of which work in unison to connect the user’s full body harness securely to the anchor line. This design allows the wearer to ascend and descend a vertical ladder with confidence, significantly reducing the risk of falls and injuries.
The SDFLEX Ladder Lifeline adheres to the stringent safety standards outlined in EN 353-1+A1:2017 and complies with Regulation (EU) 2016/425, ensuring that it meets the highest levels of safety and performance in the industry.
Lifting Safety proudly offers the SDFLEX Ladder Lifeline as complete kits tailored to accommodate ladders of varying heights, specifically up to 10 m, 20 m, and 30 m. For those requiring solutions for even longer ladders, we are more than happy to assist; please do not hesitate to make an enquiry. Each kit is thoughtfully assembled to include all the essential components necessary for the effective installation of the system onto ladders that are securely fixed to appropriate structures.
Each SDFlex Ladder Lifeline Kit Includes
- 1 x fall arrest device*
- 8 mm diameter AISI 316 grade stainless steel wire rope
- Tensioner
- Universal brackets and all fixings tailored to suit the specific height of the vertical ladder
* Additional guided fall arrester travellers/sliders/shuttles can be purchased separately, allowing for further customisation of your safety setup; however, the system is only suitable for a single user with a maximum weight (including tools and equipment) of 100kg and with a minimum weight of 50kg, excluding tools and equipment.
Lifeline Component Materials
It is important to note that all components of the SDFLEX Ladder Lifeline kits are manufactured from AISI 316 grade stainless steel, a material renowned for its exceptional resistance to corrosion in a variety of environments. This ensures that the system remains durable and reliable, even when exposed to harsh conditions.
By investing in the SDFLEX Ladder Lifeline system, you are prioritising safety and compliance, ensuring peace of mind while working at heights
