Durable and Reliable 50' Vertical Lifeline
Made from high-strength 5/8" three-strand white polyester, this rope is resistant to rot, mildew, alkalis, and most solvents. It is UV- and abrasion-resistant, with a melting point above 300°F. The ends are professionally stitched with a plastic cap for longevity and feature an alloy steel snap hook for quick, secure attachment.
Compliance: Meets ANSI Z359.1-07, ANSI A10.32-12, OSHA 1926 Subpart M, and OSHA 1910 standards. It boasts a minimum breaking strength of 5,000 lbs. and supports a worker capacity range of 130–310 lbs.
Efficient Rope Grab Positioning Device
The manually operated rope grab allows secure, adjustable positioning on the lifeline, preventing falls and enabling safe ascent and descent. This essential positioning device allows workers to secure themselves at any point along the 50-foot span, providing both mobility and peace of mind.
Protective 18" Shock-Absorbing Lanyard
The integrated shock pack dissipates energy during a fall, significantly reducing impact force on the worker's body. Constructed from high-quality polyester webbing and alloy steel hardware, this 18" extension lanyard provides the necessary clearance and safety required for OSHA-compliant fall arrest systems.

Malta Dynamics C7050 Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can the rope grab be removed from the lifeline?
The Malta Dynamics C7050 features a manually operated rope grab that is designed to stay on the 5/8" polyester rope. It allows smooth vertical movement and instantly locks in the event of a fall. Always ensure the arrow on the grab is pointing UP toward the anchor.
2. Does the unboxing video above show all the components?
Yes. The unboxing video above provides a close-up look at the high-strength polyester rope, the pre-installed alloy steel snap hook, and the integrated rope grab with the 18" shock-absorbing extension. It demonstrates exactly what you will receive in the carry bag.
3. Is the shock-absorbing lanyard required for OSHA compliance?
Yes. In a fall arrest system, the shock pack is critical to reduce the "arresting force" on the worker to under 1,800 lbs. The Malta Dynamics C7050 comes with a built-in lanyard to ensure you are compliant right out of the bag.
4. Can I use this lifeline for horizontal applications?
The C7050 is designed as a Vertical Lifeline. Horizontal use requires different engineering regarding "sag" and "fall distance." However, it is compatible for attachment to a certified horizontal lifeline system when transitioning or descending a roof.
5. Does this rope resist chemicals and UV?
Yes. The three-strand polyester construction is specifically chosen for its resistance to UV degradation, rot, mildew, and most common solvents found on job sites.
6. What is the worker weight capacity for the Malta Dynamics C7050?
The unit is rated for a worker capacity of 130 to 310 lbs. This total includes the weight of the individual plus all clothing, gear, and tools being carried.
7. How do I avoid common problems when using the Malta Dynamics C7050?
- 1. Check Arrow Direction: Ensure the arrow on the rope grab always points UP toward the anchor. An upside-down grab will not lock during a fall.
- 2. Avoid Knots: Never tie knots in your lifeline, as this can reduce the strength of the rope by up to 50%.
- 3. Inspect Soft Goods: Before every use, check for "shiny" or hard spots on the rope, which indicate heat damage, or frays in the stitching.
