FallTech SteelGrip Plus Cable HLL with Ratchet Tensioner
SteelGrip Plus™ Cable HLL Assembly, no anchors. 3/8" galvanized steel cable with one-end terminated and thimbled.
Features 1 stainless steel coil energy absorber and 2 connecting carabiners. In-line tension indicator included with 2 galvanized steel shackles.
Who Needs This Product
Steel erectors, bridge crews, precast contractors, and plant maintenance teams run SteelGrip cable horizontal lifelines where the span needs to survive sparks, abrasion, and weeks of exposure. The 3/8 in galvanized cable system holds up where rope will not, and the stainless coil energy absorber keeps end-anchor loads controlled during a fall arrest. Two workers per span ride the line with their own harnesses and connectors.

Typical Applications
How to Use
Follow the FallTech instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Select the anchors. Choose end anchorage points that meet the manual's strength requirements, or use FallTech pass-through anchors or I-beam stanchions.
- Terminate the cable. Connect the terminated end, route the cable, and clamp the field end with the supplied wire rope clips and thimbles.
- Tension the system. Tighten the turnbuckle, or crank the ratchet strap on SteelGrip Plus, until the in-line tension indicator shows working tension.
- Connect the workers. Maximum two workers per single span, each with an energy-absorbing connector, after verifying fall clearance including cable deflection.
- Inspect daily. Re-check tension and hardware each shift while the system stays rigged.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect the system before each use and re-check tension every shift. A competent person must perform a documented inspection at least every six months.
- Cable: broken wires, kinks, bird-caging, corrosion, and damaged terminations.
- Coil energy absorber: coils tight and undeployed; no stretch marks.
- Tension indicator: reads working tension; no deformation.
- Turnbuckle or ratchet: threads and pawls clean and functional.
- Clips and shackles: correct torque, no missing hardware.
Retirement triggers: any fall event, energy absorber deployment, broken cable wires, or hardware that fails inspection.
