CTR Class 1 Cable SRL, 20 to 60 ft Galvanized
The FallTech CTR Class 1 SRL pairs a glass-reinforced nylon housing with a 3/16 in galvanized steel wire rope lifeline rated to 3,600 lb minimum static strength, available in 20, 30, and 60 ft lengths with a steel swivel snap hook. The distinct green housing identifies the device as ANSI Class 1 compliant for overhead anchorage work.
It is the first SRL in its class with an Armored EA shock pack: a low-profile hard shell that protects the energy absorber from moisture, abrasion, and jobsite wear better than soft-pack designs. Certified to ANSI Z359.14-2021 and CSA Z259.2.2-2017 per the declarations of conformity linked below.
Who Needs This Product
Crews that anchor overhead and want a cable SRL that survives jobsite abuse. Class 1 devices tie off at or above the dorsal D-ring with a maximum 2 ft free fall, which covers most general construction, maintenance, and industrial work from lifts, platforms, and overhead beam anchors. The CTR line is FallTech's value-priced answer for that work, and the armored energy absorber addresses the most common reason cable SRLs leave service early: a torn or contaminated soft shock pack.
Features
Armored EA shock pack
A first-in-class hard composite shell protects the energy absorber from weather, abrasion, and jobsite abuse, preserving the labels and keeping the device compliant and in service longer.
Green Class 1 housing
The distinct green glass-reinforced nylon housing identifies ANSI Class 1 compliance at a glance, so competent persons can verify the right device is on the right anchorage.
Steel-reinforced carry handle
A high-strength composite fabric handle reinforced with steel wires stands up to repeated daily transport and staging.
Optimized movement
An enhanced internal mechanism reduces nuisance lockups and is tuned for natural working and walking speeds, so the lifeline pays out and retracts with you.
Galvanized steel lifeline
The 3/16 in galvanized wire rope resists wear and holds 3,600 lb minimum static strength across all three lengths.
Steel swivel snap hook
The leg-end swivel snap hook keeps the lifeline from twisting as you work and connects positively to the harness dorsal D-ring or anchorage per your setup.
Safety first. The CTR Class 1 is rated for overhead anchorage only, with a maximum free fall of 2 ft. It is not rated for leading edge exposure: if the lifeline could contact an edge in a fall, or you must anchor at foot level, use a Class 2 leading edge SRL like the CTR Class 2 LE instead. When calculating clearance, use the fall clearance guidance in the instruction manual.
Compliance Standards
ANSI Z359.14-2021
Certified as a Class 1 SRL per the declarations of conformity, with arrest distance under 42 in and average arrest force of 1,350 lb or less.
OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.66
Satisfies OSHA requirements for personal fall arrest system connecting devices in construction and general industry.
CSA Z259.2.2-2017
Certified to the Canadian standard for self-retracting devices, accepted on Canadian jobsites.
ANSI/ISEA 125-2014 Level 2
Conformity assessed within the scope of ISO/IEC 17025:2005 at the FallTech lab.
Applications
How to Use
A Class 1 SRL installs overhead and follows the worker, locking automatically when a fall begins.
- Inspect first. Check the housing, lifeline, hook, and the fall and load indicators per the instruction manual before every use.
- Anchor overhead. Connect the anchorage carabiner to an anchor at or above the dorsal D-ring rated per OSHA requirements.
- Connect the snap hook. Attach the swivel snap hook to the harness dorsal D-ring and confirm the gate is fully closed and locked.
- Check retraction. Pull out a short length of lifeline and let it retract under control; it should pay out and retract smoothly without slack.
- Work within the system. Keep free fall under 2 ft, avoid swing fall hazards, and verify clearance using the manual's fall clearance guidance based on the delivery location of the anchor point.
Inspection and Service Life
OSHA requires inspection before each use, and ANSI Z359.14-2021 adds formal inspection by a competent person at intervals set by the manufacturer. Log formal inspections so the service history follows the device.
- Housing: check the glass-reinforced nylon shell and carrying handle for cracks, deformation, and missing fasteners
- Lifeline: extend the full working length and check the galvanized cable for kinks, birdcaging, broken wires, and corrosion
- Energy absorber: verify the armored shock pack shell is intact and the fall indicator has not deployed
- Hooks: confirm the swivel snap hook and anchorage carabiner gates close, lock, and swivel freely
- Labels: verify all labels are present and legible, including the fall clearance table
Remove the device from service immediately if it has arrested a fall, if the load indicator shows deployment, or if any inspection point fails, and destroy retired equipment so it cannot return to service.

Who Needs This Product
This product is a confined space davit system - the rotating retrieval point that lowers and recovers workers and material over an opening. Confined space teams, utilities, and tank crews build their entry and non-entry rescue around it. It requires a rated winch or 3-way SRL, a full body harness, and a written rescue plan to form a complete system.
Features
360-degree boom
Swing the load over the opening and away to the landing zone.
Two integrated pulleys
Run a fall arrest SRL and a retrieval winch line simultaneously.
Permanent base options
Mount to steel, concrete, or a truck bed for mobile rescue.
Made in the USA
Patriot-line build for Buy American specs.
Removable boom
Lift the boom out when the entry point is not in use.
Tank and edge ready
Reaches over tank rims and leading edges.
