FallTech 8' FT-X Cable Class 2 Leading-Edge SRL, Twin-Leg
The 82808 8 ft FT-X Cable LE SRL, Twin-Leg is a 8' FT-X Cable Leading-Edge personal self-retracting device (SRL-P), a twin-leg 100 percent tie-off SRD whose steel cable lifeline retracts and pays out as you move and locks to arrest a fall quickly.
It is certified to ANSI Z359.14-2021 and CSA Z259.2.2, for one worker up to 310 lb. Choose the connector configuration for your anchor and harness. It is a leading-edge device rated for sharp-edge tie-off.
Who Needs This Product
This product is a personal self-retracting device (SRL-P), the connecting component of a personal fall arrest system. A worker wears the SRD on the harness dorsal (or ties it off overhead) and the retractable steel cable lifeline pays out and retracts, locking to arrest a fall. This twin-leg version gives 100 percent tie-off for continuous connection while moving between anchor points. You still need a certified full-body harness and a rated anchorage.

Typical Applications
How to Use
Follow the FallTech instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect. Check the lifeline, retraction, lock, housing, and connectors before each use.
- Mount the SRD. Connect the housing to your harness dorsal (SRL-P) or a rated overhead anchor.
- Connect the lifeline. Attach the lifeline connector(s) to a rated anchor.
- Check the lock. Pull the lifeline sharply to confirm it locks, then let it retract smoothly.
- Confirm clearance. Verify required fall clearance and swing-fall with the calculator below.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before each use, with a documented competent-person inspection at least annually. Remove the anchor from service for any of the conditions below.
- Lifeline: cuts, fraying, burns, chemical damage, or broken cable wires and kinks.
- Retraction and lock: a lifeline that will not retract or lock on a sharp pull.
- Housing and hardware: cracks, deformation, or corrosion.
- Connectors and hooks: bent gates, corrosion, or gates that will not lock.
- Labels: illegible or missing markings.
Remove the anchor from service immediately after any fall-arrest event, and destroy retired equipment so it cannot return to service.
