The block features an aluminium casing that houses the retractable mechanism. The casing provides a protective outer shell and structural integrity to support the load.

The primary function of an retractable block is to arrest a fall by quickly activating the braking mechanism when it detects sudden movement or acceleration. This rapid response helps minimize the potential for injury due to a fall.

Retractable block are designed to maintain constant tension on the lifeline, helping to minimize slack and reduce the risk of tripping or entanglement during use.

This retractable lanyard comes fitted with ANSI Z359.12 - 2009 certified carabiners.

Many of our retractable lanyards and cable blocks are serviceable, meaning they can be disassembled by an expert following a fall, checked for damage, and made usable again.
