CTR Class 2 Leading Edge Cable SRL, 20 to 60 ft
The FallTech CTR Class 2 Leading Edge SRL carries a heavier 7/32 in galvanized steel wire rope lifeline rated to 3,600 lb minimum static strength, in 20, 30, and 60 ft lengths with a steel swivel snap hook. Class 2 rating covers work where an overhead anchor is not available, including foot-level tie-off and leading edge exposure.
It brings the CTR series value formula to edge work: rugged housing, smooth payout with reduced nuisance lockups, and an integrated energy absorber sized for the higher loads of a leading edge arrest. Certified to ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 2 and CSA Z259.2.2-2017 per the declarations of conformity linked below.

Who Needs This Product
Crews working near unprotected edges without overhead anchorage: deck installers, formwork and rebar crews, bridge and precast work, and anyone anchoring at foot level. Class 2 devices are tested for the sharp-edge loading and greater free fall that leading edge work creates, which a Class 1 device is never rated to take. The heavier 7/32 in cable and edge-rated energy absorber are what buy that rating.
Features
Class 2 leading edge rating
Tested per ANSI Z359.14-2021 for foot-level tie-off and lifeline loading over an edge, the failure mode that destroys non-LE devices.
Heavier 7/32 in lifeline
The leading edge cable is a full size heavier than the Class 1 CTR, maintaining 3,600 lb minimum static strength through edge contact.
Integrated energy absorber
A leg-end energy absorber manages the higher arrest loads of foot-level falls and keeps forces on the worker at or under 1,350 lb average.
Rugged CTR housing
The same jobsite-proof housing and steel-reinforced carry handle as the Class 1, built for daily staging and transport.
Optimized movement
The internal mechanism reduces nuisance lockups at natural working speeds, so the cable follows you across the deck instead of fighting you.
Steel swivel snap hook
The swivel leg-end connection prevents lifeline twist during horizontal movement along the edge.
Safety first. Leading edge work is the most demanding SRL application. Anchor and rig exactly per the MSRD29 instruction manual, respect the setback and clearance tables on the device labels, and remember that foot-level tie-off needs substantially more fall clearance than overhead anchorage. Use the calculator below and the manual's clearance charts together.
Compliance Standards
ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 2
Certified as a Class 2 leading edge SRL per the declaration of conformity, tested for edge loading and foot-level anchorage.
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; the declaration lists the 30 ft tested configuration.
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 2 SRL can anchor at foot level, but rigging discipline and clearance planning decide whether it can do its job.
- Inspect first. Check housing, lifeline, energy absorber, hook, and indicators per the MSRD29 manual before every use, with extra attention to the cable after any edge contact.
- Anchor per the manual. Connect to an anchorage meeting OSHA strength requirements at foot level or above, positioned to limit swing along the edge.
- Connect and verify. Attach the swivel snap hook to the dorsal D-ring and confirm both gates are closed and locked.
- Respect the setback. Follow the label's edge setback and perpendicular-work requirements so a fall loads the lifeline as tested.
- Verify clearance. Foot-level arrest needs far more clearance than overhead work; use the label charts and the manual's clearance section before the first connection, based on the delivery location of the anchor.
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.
