Who Needs This Product
Residential and commercial roofers buy a complete roofer's kit because it puts the whole rooftop fall arrest system in one box: harness, hinged reusable roof anchor, 50 ft vertical lifeline, and the rope-grab lanyard that ties them together. The hinged anchor nails to the structure and works both sides of the ridge, and the trailing versions follow the worker without manual repositioning.

Typical Applications
How to Use
Follow the FallTech instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Set the anchor. Nail the 7410 hinged anchor at the ridge per the instructions, hinged over the peak where needed.
- Rig the lifeline. Connect the 50 ft vertical lifeline to the anchor and drop it down the work face.
- Don the harness. Adjust leg and chest buckles; the dorsal D-ring sits between the shoulder blades.
- Connect the rope adjuster. Attach the lanyard's rope adjuster to the lifeline; trailing models follow as you work, manual models reposition by hand.
- Work the face. Keep slack out of the system and re-verify the anchor when moving planes.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect every component before each use, with a documented competent person inspection at least annually.
- Anchor: bent straps, cracks, and fastener hole wear.
- Lifeline: cuts, abrasion, glazing, and end termination condition.
- Rope adjuster: engages and locks on the line; anti-panic function (where fitted) operates.
- Harness and lanyard: webbing, stitching, hardware, and absorber pack.
- Labels: legible on all components.
Retirement triggers: any fall arrest event, deployed absorber, damaged rope or webbing, or a failed inspection. Nail-on anchors are reusable per the manual but retire with structural damage.
