Warthog Comfort Maxx Steel Full Body Harness

The Malta Dynamics Warthog Comfort Maxx Steel is a steelworker-inspired version of the best-selling Comfort Maxx, built for crews who wear a harness all day. Full shoulder, back, waist, and leg padding with a breathable X-pad and reflective webbing keep the worker comfortable and visible, while galvanized steel D-rings, buckles, and adjusters withstand heavy construction use.

An upgraded belt handles popular tool bags, a dual-lifeline attachment point reduces strain on the lower back, and a pre-installed trauma-relief strap helps reduce the onset of suspension trauma after a fall. Rated for 130 to 310 lb and tested to ANSI Z359.11-2021 and ANSI A10.32-2012, it carries back and side D-rings, quick-connect chest and leg buckles, and an impact indicator, and ships in four sizes from S-M through 3XL.

Who Needs This Harness

The Warthog Comfort Maxx Steel is the wearable component of a personal fall-arrest, restraint, or work-positioning system, built for ironworkers, steel erectors, and construction crews who stay in a harness all shift. The back D-ring handles fall arrest while the two side D-rings support work positioning, and the padded tool-bag belt suits heavy gear. Each worker still needs a compatible connecting device, a self-retracting lifeline or an energy-absorbing lanyard, plus a rated anchorage. The harness is sized for a single user with a combined weight, including tools and clothing, of 130-310 lb.

Features

Maximum-comfort padding

Full shoulder, back, waist, and leg padding with a breathable X-pad keeps the worker comfortable through a full shift in the harness.

Galvanized steel hardware

Galvanized steel D-rings, buckles, and adjusters give the harness the durability heavy construction and steelwork demand.

Back and two side D-rings

A dorsal back D-ring for fall arrest plus two side D-rings for work positioning give the worker versatile tie-off options.

Tool-bag belt and dual attachment

An upgraded belt handles popular tool bags, and a dual-lifeline attachment point reduces strain on the lower back.

Trauma relief strap included

A pre-installed trauma relief strap helps reduce the onset of orthostatic suspension trauma if a worker is left suspended after a fall.

Reflective webbing and impact indicator

Reflective webbing improves visibility, while a built-in impact indicator lets a competent person confirm whether the harness has taken a fall.

⚠

A harness is only one part of the system. The Warthog Comfort Maxx Steel arrests a fall only when connected to a compatible energy-absorbing lanyard or self-retracting lifeline and a rated anchorage. Use the back D-ring for fall arrest and the side D-rings for positioning only; match every component to the same 310 lb capacity; calculate fall clearance before tying off; and never use a harness that shows a deployed impact indicator or fails inspection.

Fitting Overview

Fit and use the harness per the Malta Dynamics user instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.

  1. Inspect. Check webbing, stitching, hardware, labels, and the impact indicator before each use.
  2. Select the size. Match the worker to the correct size by height and waist measurement so the harness fits snugly.
  3. Don the harness. Step into the leg straps, bring the shoulder straps up, and snap the quick-connect chest and leg buckles.
  4. Adjust. Tighten all straps so the back D-ring sits between the shoulder blades and you can slide a flat hand under the webbing.
  5. Connect. Clip a compatible energy-absorbing lanyard or self-retracting lifeline to the back D-ring for fall arrest, or use the side D-rings for work positioning only, then attach to a rated anchorage.
  6. Verify clearance. Confirm fall clearance below the work surface before work begins.

Inspection and Retirement

Inspect before each use, with a documented competent-person inspection at least every 12 months. Remove the harness from service for any of the conditions below.

  • Webbing: cuts, burns, holes, fraying, paint or chemical contamination, or heat and UV damage.
  • Stitching: pulled, cut, or broken threads at any load-bearing seam.
  • Hardware: corrosion, pitting, nicks, cracks, or distorted D-rings, buckles, and adjusters.
  • Impact indicator: any deployed or activated indicator.
  • Labels: must remain legible and intact.

Retirement triggers: any fall-arrest event, a deployed impact indicator, or any damage above. A harness that has arrested a fall must be removed from service immediately and destroyed to prevent reuse.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Warthog Comfort Maxx Steel harness built for?
It is a heavily padded steel construction harness built for ironworkers, steel erectors, and construction crews who stay tied off all shift. It pairs full shoulder, back, waist, and leg padding with galvanized steel hardware, a back D-ring for fall arrest, two side D-rings for positioning, an upgraded tool-bag belt, and an included trauma relief strap.
How do I choose the right size Warthog Comfort Maxx Steel harness?
It comes in four sizes: S-M fits a 26 to 36 inch waist, L-XL fits 32 to 50 inches, 2XL fits 35 to 53 inches, and 3XL fits 47 to 65 inches. Match the worker by both height and waist measurement using the Malta Dynamics harness selection guide, and confirm the harness can be cinched snug with the back D-ring centered between the shoulder blades. Every size shares the same 130 to 310 lb capacity.
What is the weight capacity of the Warthog Comfort Maxx Steel harness?
It is rated for a single user with a combined weight of 130 to 310 lb, including tools and clothing, and has a 3,600 lb maximum static strength. Use it only with connectors and anchorages rated for the same 310 lb capacity.
Which D-rings does it have and how are they used?
It has three D-rings. The back (dorsal) D-ring is the primary fall arrest attachment for a lanyard or self-retracting lifeline. The two side D-rings are used together for work positioning to keep both hands free at a work face. Use only the back D-ring for fall arrest, and never use a single side D-ring alone for fall arrest.
Does the harness come with a trauma relief strap?
Yes. The Warthog Comfort Maxx Steel ships with a pre-installed trauma relief strap. After a fall, a suspended worker can deploy it to relieve pressure and help reduce the onset of orthostatic suspension trauma until rescue. It is a standard included feature, not a separate accessory.
Which OSHA and ANSI standards does it meet?
Per the spec sheet and Declaration of Conformity, the harness is tested to ANSI Z359.11-2021 for full body harnesses and ANSI A10.32-2012, and meets OSHA 1926 Subpart M, 1910.66, and 1926.502. Malta Dynamics certifies conformity under Declaration #MDL1PO361 with independent INSPEC ISO 17025 third-party testing.
What else do I need to build a complete fall protection system?
The harness is the wearable component only. Each worker also needs a compatible connecting device, a self-retracting lifeline or an energy-absorbing lanyard, clipped to the back D-ring, plus a rated anchorage connector. Size the connector free fall and deceleration distance to the fall clearance available below the work surface, and use the Fall Protection Calculator below to plan the system.
