Malta Dynamics LE7020-G2 20-foot EdgeHog SRL – Class 2 Leading Edge Protection
Proper fall protection is essential when working at heights near sharp edges. The Malta Dynamics LE7020-G2 20-foot EdgeHog SRL combines a compact design with advanced safety engineering to keep you secure in the most demanding environments. Featuring a 20-foot galvanized steel cable and an integrated easy-carry handle, this SRL provides the perfect balance of mobility and portability for industrial job sites. For projects requiring an extended radius, consider the Malta Dynamics LE7030-G2 30-foot SRL or the LE7050-G2 50-foot SRL.
Leading-Edge Confidence.
Watch this technical overview to understand why the Malta Dynamics LE7020-G2 is required for foot-level tie-offs and how it protects the lifeline from severing on sharp edges.
Quick-Action Braking and Swivel Top Performance
The Malta Dynamics LE7020-G2 features an advanced centrifugal braking system that ensures a fast, effective arrest during a fall event. The 360-degree swivel top connection combined with a self-locking snap hook allows the unit to adapt to your movements, reducing cable tangling and "bird-caging." An internal shock-absorption system works in harmony with the braking mechanism to minimize impact forces on the worker's body, providing elite protection and peace of mind.
Rugged Construction for Industrial Leading Edge Use
The LE7020-G2 is specifically engineered for Class 2 Leading Edge scenarios where lifelines may come into contact with sharp steel or concrete edges. The high-impact thermoplastic housing protects internal components from debris and impacts, while the 3/16″ galvanized steel lifeline provides superior abrasion resistance. This SRL is fully compliant with ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 2 and OSHA 1926 Subpart M, making it a definitive choice for workers needing safe foot-level tie-off points.
Comprehensive Compliance and Safety Inspections
To maintain peak safety standards, the Malta Dynamics LE7020-G2 requires a documented pre-use inspection before every shift. Always perform a strike test by pulling the cable sharply to engage the brakes and verify the fall indicator on the snap hook has not been triggered. If red is visible near the hook eyelet, the unit must be removed from service immediately.

Malta Dynamics LE7020-G2 EdgeHog FAQ
1. What is the advantage of a Class 2 Leading Edge SRL?
A Class 2 SRL, like the Malta Dynamics LE7020-G2, is tested to withstand a fall over a sharp edge (like steel or concrete) and is specifically rated for foot-level tie-offs. Standard Class 1 units are for overhead use only and could fail if anchored at your feet.
2. Can I use the LE7020-G2 for overhead anchorage?
Yes. While it is built for leading-edge risks, it also works perfectly for overhead anchorage. It provides 20 feet of mobility, making it a versatile "all-in-one" SRL for varied site conditions.
3. What material is used for the lifeline?
The Malta Dynamics LE7020-G2 features a 3/16″ galvanized steel cable. This material provides the tensile strength and abrasion resistance needed to withstand contact with sharp edges during a fall-arrest event.
4. Does this 20-foot SRL allow for 100% tie-off?
This is a single-leg unit. To maintain 100% tie-off while transitioning between anchors, you would need to use a dual-leg configuration. For those options, see our Malta Dynamics LE3313D Dual EdgeHog Series.
5. How much fall clearance do I need?
Leading-edge falls (foot-level tie-offs) require significantly more fall clearance than overhead tie-offs. You must consult the specific clearance charts in the Malta Dynamics LE7020-G2 SRL Instruction Manual provided above before use.
6. What is the worker weight capacity for this product?
The Malta Dynamics LE7020-G2 is rated for a total worker weight (including tools and clothing) of 130 to 310 lbs to remain compliant with ANSI safety standards.
7. How do I avoid common mistakes with the Malta Dynamics LE7020-G2?
- 1. Improper Anchor Height: Never use a Class 1 unit for a foot-level tie-off; always verify you are using this Class 2 LE7020-G2 for leading-edge tasks.
- 2. Swing Fall Hazard: Avoid working too far laterally from your anchor point to prevent a pendulum swing across the sharp edge during a fall.
- 3. Uncontrolled Retraction: Never release the hook and allow the cable to snap back into the housing; always walk the line back manually to protect the internal spring.
