FallTech DuraTech Mini 6 ft Web Twin-Leg Personal SRL, Class 1 (ANSI or CSA)
The FallTech DuraTech Mini is a compact 6 ft web twin-leg personal self-retracting lifeline (SRL-P) for overhead-anchored fall arrest with 100% tie-off. 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. The twin-leg version keeps you connected while transferring between anchors. You still need a certified full-body harness and a rated overhead anchorage to complete the system.

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.
