Malta Dynamics C7102D-G2 Dual 6-foot Pygmy Hog SRL – 100% Tie-Off
The Malta Dynamics C7102D-G2 Dual 6-foot Pygmy Hog SRL system is engineered for workers who must maintain 100% tie-off while transitioning between anchor points. This professional setup features two lightweight Malta Pygmy Hog 7102-G2 6-foot SRLs mounted side by side on a specialized twin-leg bracket, providing continuous fall protection. Whether navigating roof peaks or moving between structural steel members, this dual system ensures you remain anchored throughout transitions. For workers requiring only a single connection point, see the Malta Dynamics C7102-G2 Single Pygmy Hog SRL.
Like the single version, this dual system is remarkably compact, weighing just 4.8 lbs total. Each SRL offers 6 feet of high-strength UHMWPE and polyester lifeline, designed to provide elite overhead fall protection without restricting mobility. The C7102D-G2 is the definitive solution for ultimate mobility and safety in the field. For complete technical details, view the Pygmy Hog Dual SRL Spec Sheet.
Compact, Lightweight Design for Maximum Transition Mobility
The Pygmy Hog Dual SRL combines two of the market's lightest retractable units into one powerful safety solution. Each SRL features an independent 360-degree swivel top, allowing you to move laterally and vertically without the lifelines tangling or snagging. The high-strength thermoplastic polymer housings ensure industrial-grade durability while maintaining a total weight that reduces worker fatigue. To ensure proper setup and bracket alignment, review the Malta Dynamics SRL Instruction Manual.
100% Tie-Off Safety – No Protection Gaps During Transitions
With the Pygmy Hog Dual setup, you can navigate complex job sites without ever being disconnected from an anchor. The twin-leg configuration allows you to connect the second lifeline to a new anchor before disconnecting the first, ensuring 100% tie-off compliance. This system is designed specifically for harness dorsal D-ring mounting and features self-locking alloy steel snap hooks for rapid, reliable anchorage. The Malta C7102D-G2 lets you stay focused on the task, knowing your fall arrest system is always engaged.
Inspection Guidelines for Peak Safety Performance
Regularly inspecting your dual SRL system is essential for maintaining OSHA compliance and worker safety. Before each use, check the integrated fall indicator on both snap hooks; if the red indicator is visible, that specific unit has been activated and must be retired immediately. Verify that the gates on the alloy steel snap hooks open and close smoothly and lock securely. Finally, inspect both lifelines for signs of fraying, cuts, or chemical damage, and perform a "strike test" on each unit to confirm that the independent braking mechanisms engage instantly. Document all inspections using the Pygmy Hog Dual SRL Inspection Form.

Malta Dynamics C7102D-G2 Dual Pygmy Hog FAQ
1. Why is 100% tie-off important for safety compliance?
100% tie-off means that a worker is never unprotected while moving. By using two SRLs, the worker connects to a new anchor point before disconnecting from the previous one, eliminating the "gap" in protection where many falls occur. This is often required by site safety managers and OSHA for high-risk transitions.
2. How does the dual system mount to my harness?
The C7102D-G2 includes a specialized twin-leg bracket that mounts directly behind the dorsal D-ring of your harness. This allows both SRLs to hang comfortably without obstructing your primary D-ring for other connections. Refer to the Instruction Manual above for step-by-step mounting photos.
3. Can I buy one unit and add a second one later?
While the units are the same as the single C7102-G2, this bundle includes the specific hardware required for dual mounting. We recommend purchasing the C7102D-G2 system to ensure you have the compatible bracket and connectors for a safe twin-leg setup.
4. What is the total weight of the dual system?
The complete dual system weighs approximately 4.8 lbs. By using high-strength UHMWPE lifelines instead of steel cable, Malta Dynamics has created one of the lightest 100% tie-off solutions on the market, significantly reducing shoulder and back strain.
5. Are these SRLs rated for Leading Edge work?
No. These are ANSI Class 1-P devices. They are designed for overhead anchorage only. Leading Edge (Class 2) applications require different internal components and lifelines tested for edge-strike durability.
6. What happens if one unit activates during a fall?
If either SRL arrests a fall, the red fall indicator will deploy. Both units in the dual system should be removed from service and inspected by a Competent Person. Typically, any unit that has arrested a fall must be destroyed and replaced.
7. How do I avoid common mistakes with dual SRLs?
- 1. Improper Bracket Mounting: Ensure the twin-leg bracket is securely fastened and does not pinch the harness webbing.
- 2. Tangled Lifelines: Use the 360-degree swivels to your advantage; keep the lifelines clear of each other to ensure smooth retraction.
- 3. Low Clearance: Even with a 6-foot SRL, you must account for the deceleration distance. Always check your fall clearance before starting work.
