Who Needs This Product

Genuine components keep the system compliant. The SteelGrip compliance basis assumes factory hardware on 3/8 in cable at the manual's clip counts and torques. Substituting hardware store parts voids that basis. Replace the coil energy absorber after any deployment.
Compliance Standards
OSHA 1926.502(d)(8)
Horizontal lifelines must be designed, installed, and used under the supervision of a qualified person, as part of a complete personal fall arrest system.
Typical Applications
How to Use
Follow the FallTech instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Match the component. Confirm the part fits the 3/8 in SteelGrip system and your span configuration.
- Install per the manual. Follow the SteelGrip instruction manual for clip torque, thimble placement, and absorber orientation.
- Verify tension. Re-tension the system and confirm the indicator reads correctly before workers connect.
- Log the change. Record the component swap in the system inspection record.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect components on the same schedule as the lifeline, before each use and at least every six months by a competent person.
- Threads and pawls: clean, lubricated, and fully functional.
- Load-bearing surfaces: no wear grooves, cracks, or corrosion.
- Energy absorber coils: tight and undeployed.
Replace any component that fails inspection and re-verify the full span before returning it to service.
