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.

This retractable fall arrest block comes with Sharp Edge Protection.

When falling from a roof or terrace the fall force is no longer applied at the anchor, but instead on the edge which may prevent the braking mechanism from functioning correctly, and and increases the chance of webbing failure.
A retractable block with Sharp Edge Protection allows you to work horizontal to your anchor in addition to the normal benefits of working with retractables.

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 double action snap hook.
The hook also has a load indicator which shows green when safe to use and red when unit has had a substantial loading and should be inspected.

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.
