FallTech 8' Web Retractor with Snap Hook and Carabiner
The 8262 8 ft Web Retractor is a compact overhead self-retracting lifeline with an 8' polyester web lifeline, a plated alloy steel snap hook, and a standard size captivated steel anchorage carabiner included. A PVC cover guards the internal steel frame, and an integrated steel swivel helps prevent lifeline twisting.
It meets OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.66 regulations for one worker from 130 to 310 lb. The lifeline assembly features a visual fall stitch indicator that shows at a glance whether the unit has arrested a fall. This is a non-leading-edge device for overhead tie-off.
Who Needs This Product
This product is a compact overhead self-retracting lifeline, the connecting component of a personal fall arrest system. A worker anchors the carabiner overhead and connects the snap hook to the harness dorsal D-ring; the web lifeline pays out and retracts with movement and locks to arrest a fall. You still need a certified full-body harness and a rated anchorage.
