Who Needs This Product
Confined space entry supervisors, municipal utility crews, wastewater treatment operators, and industrial maintenance teams rely on a 3-way SRL-R as the heart of a compliant entry and rescue system. If your crew enters manholes, vaults, tanks, or vessels, OSHA 1910.146 requires a retrieval system for non-entry rescue, and a 3-way SRL-R provides fall arrest during the climb and mechanical retrieval when a rescue is needed.

Rescue-ready means inspected and rigged. A 3-way SRL-R only enables non-entry rescue if it is mounted with the correct bracket, inspected, and the attendant knows how to shift it into retrieval mode. Verify your rescue plan before every entry, and confirm fall clearance with the Fall Protection Calculator below.

Typical Applications
How to Use
Follow the FallTech instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Mount the device. Attach the SRL-R to your tripod or davit using the correct mounting bracket, and route the lifeline through the head sheave or pulley.
- Connect the entrant. Attach the lifeline snap hook to the dorsal D-ring of the entrant's full-body harness.
- Verify SRL mode. Confirm the unit is in SRL mode for normal entry so the lifeline pays out and retracts with the entrant.
- Rescue when needed. Shift the unit into retrieval mode and crank the handle to raise the entrant, allowing one attendant to complete a non-entry rescue.
- Remove from service after events. After any rescue or fall arrest event, remove the device from service and send it for factory inspection.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect the device before each use following the manual checklist. A competent person inspection is required at least annually.
- Housing: cracks, impact damage, loose fasteners, or corrosion.
- Lifeline: kinks, broken wires, corrosion, or cut or abraded fibers on rope models.
- Snap hook: proper gate action, locking function, and load indicator condition.
- Braking system: test with a sharp pull; the brakes must engage and hold.
- Retrieval mode: must engage cleanly and hold a load without slipping.
Retirement triggers: any fall arrest or rescue load on the device, a deployed load indicator, lifeline damage, or any condition where the inspector cannot verify the device is fit for service.
