FallTech DuraTech Mini 6 ft Web Single-Leg Personal SRL, Class 1 (ANSI or CSA)
The FallTech DuraTech Mini is a compact 6 ft web single-leg personal self-retracting lifeline (SRL-P) for overhead-anchored fall arrest. The Dyneema web lifeline pays out as you move and locks in a fall, and an external energy absorber with internal locking pawls keeps arrest forces within safe limits. It delivers Class 1 performance well beyond a traditional energy-absorbing lanyard, and may be anchored up to 5 ft below the dorsal D-ring.
Choose your certification and hook at checkout: ANSI Z359.14-2021 for US jobsites or CSA Z259.2.2-2017 for Canada, with a steel snap hook (standard) or a transverse-load-rated steel rebar hook at the anchorage. Rated for a single user of 130 to 310 lb combined weight. This is an overhead-anchorage Class 1 SRL and is not rated for leading-edge use.
Who Needs This Product
This product is a personal self-retracting lifeline (SRL-P), a fall-arrest connecting device that pays out and retracts automatically and locks in inches if a fall starts. Construction, maintenance, and structural crews clip in for hands-free overhead protection with less fall distance than a lanyard. You still need a certified full-body harness and a rated overhead anchorage to complete the system.
Features
Hands-free retracting lifeline
The Dyneema web lifeline retracts as you move, with no slack to manage and less fall distance than a lanyard.

Certified Class 1 to ANSI Z359.14-2021 for overhead anchorage, with an arrest distance under 42 in.
Anchor up to 5 ft below the D-ring
Rated to anchor as far as 5 ft below the dorsal D-ring for real-world tie-off positions.
Snap or rebar hook
Order with a steel snap hook (standard) or a transverse-load-rated steel rebar hook for large-opening anchors.
External energy absorber
An external energy absorber with internal locking pawls delivers smooth deceleration and positive lockup.
ANSI and CSA certified

Overhead anchorage only, not for leading edges. This is a Class 1 personal SRL for overhead-anchored use, rated for a maximum 2 ft free fall. It is not rated for foot-level or sharp-edge (leading-edge) applications where the lifeline could contact an edge in a fall. Anchor overhead, keep the anchor no more than 5 ft below the dorsal D-ring, and run the Fall Protection Calculator below to confirm clearance.

Typical Applications
How to Use the DuraTech Mini SRL
Follow the FallTech instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect. Check the web lifeline, braking (sharp-pull lock test), housing, energy absorber, and all connectors before each use.
- Anchor overhead. Connect the anchorage end to a rated overhead anchor, no more than 5 ft below the dorsal D-ring.
- Connect to the harness. Attach the dorsal carabiner to the D-ring of a certified full-body harness.
- Confirm the connections. Verify every gate is fully closed and locked.
- Verify clearance. Confirm fall clearance and swing-fall below the work surface, and run the calculator below.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before each use, with a documented competent-person inspection at least every 6 months. Pull the SRL from service for any of the conditions below.
- Web lifeline: cuts, fraying, abrasion, burns, or chemical damage.
- Braking: the lifeline must lock sharply on a quick pull test.
- Housing: cracks, loose fasteners, or a damaged lifeline exit.
- Energy absorber: any sign of deployment or a torn cover.
- Connectors and swivels: deformation, corrosion, or gates that fail to lock.
Retire the SRL immediately after any fall-arrest event, or if any inspection point fails. Destroy retired equipment so it cannot return to service.
