FallTech Field Replaceable Cable Tool Set for FT-R+ SRLs
The 5048 Field Replaceable Cable Tool Set is the tool kit for FT-R+ Class 2 Leading Edge SRL SpeedLine replacement cable lifelines. With this set and the FallTech repair guide, your competent person removes a damaged cable lifeline and installs a SpeedLine replacement in the field, returning the SRL to service without a factory round trip.
The FT-R+ is the first field-repairable Class 2 SRL, and this compact 0.5 lb tool set is the key to that capability. Pair it with the SpeedLine replacement cable for your FT-R+ model and follow the repair procedure step by step.
Who Needs This Product
This product is a repair accessory for crews and safety managers running FallTech FT-R+ Class 2 leading edge cable SRLs. When a cable lifeline is damaged, the tool set installs a SpeedLine field-replaceable cable per the FallTech repair procedure instead of retiring or shipping out the SRL. It is a tool kit only; the SRL and replacement cable lifeline are sold separately.
