FallTech 3 ft Lanyard with Rope Adjuster
Rope adjuster remains in position until user manually changes its location on the lifeline. Energy absorber features patented ViewPack cover with inspection window.
For use with 5/8" diameter synthetic rope lifelines. Includes alloy steel rope adjuster for lifeline connection and snap hook for harness attachment.

Who Needs This Product
The rope grab is the moving connection on a vertical lifeline: it follows the worker up and down the line and locks instantly when a fall starts. Trailing and self-tracking models follow hands-free, manual models set by hand, and anti-panic versions lock even if the worker grabs the device in a fall, the instinctive reaction that defeats lesser grabs.
