Malta Dynamics C7104D-G2 Dual-Leg 6-foot Pygmy Hog SRL – 100% Tie-Off with Rebar Hooks
The Malta Dynamics C7104D-G2 builds on the efficiency and reliability of the Pygmy Hog SRL by doubling protection with two independent legs to ensure 100% tie-off compliance. Weighing in at only 6.8 lbs, this dual-leg self-retracting lifeline (SRL) is engineered for workers who require constant protection while transitioning between anchor points. Whether you are navigating complex job sites or moving across structural steel and rebar cages, the C7104D-G2's heavy-duty rebar hooks provide rapid, secure anchorage. For a single-leg configuration, see the Malta Dynamics C7104-G2 SRL.
Dual-Leg Safety for Dynamic 100% Tie-Off Transitions
The C7104D-G2 features two 6-foot lifelines constructed from ultra-durable UHMWPE and polyester webbing, housed in high-strength thermoplastic shells. Each leg is equipped with a robust, large-gate rebar hook designed to attach easily to oversized anchors, such as rebar lattices and structural beams. This dual configuration ensures that as you move, you can connect the second leg to a new anchor before disconnecting the first, eliminating the dangerous "gap" in fall protection during transitions.
360-Degree Swivel Technology for Unrestricted Movement
A standout feature of the C7104D-G2 is its independent 360-degree swivel tops, which allow smooth, unrestricted lateral and vertical movement. This technology prevents the lifelines from tangling or snagging while you shift positions, keeping your focus entirely on the task. The larger rebar hooks are a game-changer for construction, maintenance, and utility workers who encounter varied anchoring options. To ensure proper setup, always consult the Pygmy Hog SRL Manual.
High-Visibility Lifelines for Rapid Compliance Inspections
The Pygmy Hog series makes safety inspections efficient with its bright yellow lifelines and contrasting black edges. This high-visibility design allows users to instantly identify cuts, frays, or UV damage. Each leg features an integrated fall indicator; if the red marker is visible, that specific SRL has arrested a fall, and the entire system must be retired. Document your daily gear checks using the Pygmy Hog SRL Inspection Form.

Malta Dynamics C7104D-G2 Dual Pygmy Hog FAQ
1. What is the main advantage of the dual-leg rebar hook setup?
The dual-leg setup allows for 100% tie-off, meaning you are never unprotected while moving. The large rebar hooks specifically allow you to anchor to scaffolding, rebar cages, and structural steel that standard snap hooks cannot accommodate.
2. How does this system mount to my safety harness?
The C7104D-G2 includes a specialized twin-leg bracket that attaches directly behind the dorsal D-ring. This keeps both SRL units organized on your back and prevents them from interfering with your harness's primary connection point.
3. Can I use this SRL for Leading Edge applications?
No. The C7104D-G2 is an ANSI Class 1-P device. It is intended for overhead anchorage only. Leading Edge work requires a Class 2 SRL designed to withstand contact with sharp edges during a fall.
4. What is the worker's weight capacity for the dual system?
This system is rated for workers weighing between 130 and 310 lbs, including their clothing and tools. Exceeding this range may prevent the braking mechanism from functioning within its tested parameters.
5. How do I perform a strike test on a dual-leg SRL?
You must perform an independent strike test on each leg before every use. Pull the lifeline sharply to ensure the internal centrifugal brakes engage instantly for both units. If either leg fails to lock, the entire system must be retired.
6. What should I do if the fall indicator shows red?
If the red marker is visible at the connection point, the SRL has been subjected to fall forces. The unit must be removed from service immediately. Refer to the Malta Dynamics C7104D-G2 Owner's Manual for retirement protocols.
7. How do I avoid common mistakes with rebar-hook SRLs?
- 1. Improper Bracket Fit: Ensure the bracket is properly seated on the harness and doesn't rub against your neck or pinch the harness webbing.
- 2. False Tie-Off: Ensure the rebar hook is fully closed and locked. Never hook back into the lifeline itself (choking the rope).
- 3. Environmental Wear: Keep the lifelines away from high-heat sources (welding) or sharp edges that could sever the UHMWPE webbing.
