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.

User-supplied end-point anchors required

User-supplied end-point anchors required.

Cable systems must be installed under a qualified person. OSHA 1926.502(d)(8) requires horizontal lifelines to be designed, installed, and used under qualified-person supervision. Verify anchor strength, clip torque, working tension on the indicator, and fall clearance including cable deflection before anyone ties off.

Compliance Standards

Cable HLL System meets OSHA 1926.502

Applicable requirement for this equipment: Cable HLL System meets OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.140 regulations.

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

Steel erectionBeam-to-beam spans that survive welding and grinding.
Bridge workLong-exposure spans for inspection and rehab crews.
Precast and tilt-upTie-off during panel setting and connection work.
Plant maintenanceTurnaround spans across pipe racks and tank tops.
Leading edge deckingDurable line behind a moving edge.
Long projectsSystems that stay rigged for weeks.

How to Use

Follow the FallTech instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.

  1. Select the anchors. Choose end anchorage points that meet the manual's strength requirements, or use FallTech pass-through anchors or I-beam stanchions.
  2. Terminate the cable. Connect the terminated end, route the cable, and clamp the field end with the supplied wire rope clips and thimbles.
  3. Tension the system. Tighten the turnbuckle, or crank the ratchet strap on SteelGrip Plus, until the in-line tension indicator shows working tension.
  4. Connect the workers. Maximum two workers per single span, each with an energy-absorbing connector, after verifying fall clearance including cable deflection.
  5. 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 once a year per the FallTech manual, and after any fall event.

  • 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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many workers can use the system at once?
Two workers maximum per single span at 310 lb each, including clothing and tools. Per the FallTech manual the system adjusts up to 100 ft for a single span and up to 360 ft as a multi-span system, with a maximum of two workers per span. Each worker needs an energy-absorbing lanyard or SRL between the harness and the cable.
What tensions the cable?
The ratchet strap tensioner cranks the SteelGrip Plus system to working tension in seconds, and the in-line tension indicator confirms when the span is ready.
What keeps end-anchor loads under control in a fall?
The 304 stainless steel coil energy absorber stretches progressively during fall arrest, limiting the force transmitted to your end anchorages. It is a one-time device and must be replaced after any deployment.
Do I need to supply my own anchors?
Yes. This assembly ships without anchors, so you supply end anchorage points that meet the manual's strength requirements, or pair it with FallTech pass-through anchors or SteelGrip I-beam stanchions.
Can I cut the cable to length in the field?
Yes. One end ships terminated and thimbled, and the field end is cut and clamped with the supplied US-made wire rope clips and thimbles per the manual's clip count and torque.
How much clearance do I need below the span?
Cable systems deflect during fall arrest. Add the deflection from the FallTech manual to your connector's free fall and deceleration distance, and verify against the clearance available. The Fall Protection Calculator on this page runs the numbers.
Does this meet OSHA requirements?
Yes. The system meets OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.140 when installed under a qualified person's supervision with compliant anchorages.

Specifying a Horizontal Lifeline for Your Crew?
