RPA061R Aramid Fiber Web Single Leg SRL with Steel Rebar Hook End
The Frontline RPA061R is a compact, lightweight single leg aramid-web self-retracting lifeline: a up to 12 ft UHMWPE and polyester webbing lifeline in a small thermoplastic housing that hangs close to the body and locks in inches if a fall starts.
Stainless steel and non-corrosive components run throughout, the connector strength is 5,000 lbs, and the device carries a 310 lb max capacity and a 42 in maximum arrest distance. Built to ANSI Z359.14, aligning with OSHA 1926 Subpart M and 1910.
Who Needs This Product
This product is a self-retracting lifeline (SRL) - a fall-arrest connecting device that pays out and retracts automatically, locking in place if a fall starts. Steel erectors, deck crews, and maintenance workers clip in for hands-free protection with minimal fall distance. You still need a full-body harness and a rated anchor to complete the system.

Inspect before each use, with a documented competent-person inspection at least every 6 months. Pull the equipment from service for any of the conditions below.
- Lifeline webbing/cable: cuts, fraying, abrasion, burns, or chemical damage.
- Braking: lifeline must lock sharply on a quick pull test.
- Housing: cracks, loose fasteners, or damaged lifeline exit.
