Wild Boar SRL with Steel Snap Hook, 30 ft and 50 ft
The Malta Dynamics Wild Boar Self-Retracting Lifeline pairs an impact-resistant polymer housing with a rugged 3/16-inch galvanized steel cable built to withstand daily wear on the harshest job sites. A heavy-duty steel snap hook and an integrated swivel connection keep the tie-off secure and the cable running smooth, so workers stay mobile without fighting the line.
Rated as a Class 1 SRL for anchorage at or above the dorsal D-ring, the Wild Boar supports a single worker from 130 to 310 lb with a maximum arresting force of 1,800 lbf and a maximum arresting distance under 42 inches. Available in 30 ft (C4001) and 50 ft (C4002) cable lengths and tested to ANSI Z359.14-2021 and OSHA standards, it delivers dependable overhead fall arrest for general construction, steel, and industrial work.
Who Needs This Product
The Wild Boar SRL is the connecting device in a personal fall arrest system - it links a worker's dorsal D-ring to an overhead anchorage at or above that D-ring and locks instantly to arrest a fall. The galvanized steel cable suits abrasive, high-wear environments where a web SRL would not hold up. Each worker still needs an ANSI full body harness and a compatible overhead anchorage rated for the system. The SRL protects one worker; pick the 30 ft or 50 ft cable length to match your working radius and clearance.
Features
Galvanized steel cable
A rugged 3/16 inch galvanized steel cable resists abrasion and jobsite wear far better than web lifelines in harsh conditions.
Heavy-duty steel snap hook
A steel snap hook with steel hardware gives a secure, durable connection to the dorsal D-ring of a full-body harness.
Integrated swivel
A swivel connection point reduces cable twisting and lets the worker move and turn while the line pays out and retracts smoothly.
Impact-resistant housing
A streamlined, impact-resistant polymer housing is easy to handle and transport and protects the internal retraction mechanism.
Two cable lengths
Choose 30 ft (C4001) or 50 ft (C4002) to match your working radius, anchorage height, and required fall clearance.
Consistent retraction
Internal components deliver reliable, controlled retraction, keeping the cable taut and out of the way during work.

For overhead use only. The Wild Boar SRL is a Class 1 device rated for anchorage at or above the dorsal D-ring. Confirm your anchorage meets the strength requirement, calculate fall clearance and swing-fall clearance before each use, and never use a unit with a kinked or corroded cable or one that has arrested a fall. Each worker also needs an ANSI full body harness.

Typical Applications
Use Overview
Use per the Malta Dynamics self-retracting lifeline instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect. Check the housing, cable, hook gate, swivel, and load indicator for kinks and broken wires before each use.
- Anchor overhead. Connect the SRL to an anchorage at or above the dorsal D-ring that meets the system strength requirement.
- Don the harness. Put on an ANSI full-body harness and confirm a snug fit.
- Connect. Clip the steel snap hook to the dorsal D-ring and confirm the gate is fully closed and locked.
- Verify clearance. Calculate required fall clearance and swing-fall clearance below the work surface before starting work.
- Work. Let the cable extend and retract smoothly and keep slack out of the system.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before each use, with a documented competent-person inspection at least every six months (or more often per your program). Remove the SRL from service for any of the conditions below.
- Housing: cracks, deformation, or impact damage.
- Cable: kinks, birdcaging, broken wires, severe corrosion, or rust scale.
- Retraction: cable that does not retract smoothly or fails to lock when pulled sharply.
- Hook and swivel: bent gate, weak gate spring, corrosion, or a swivel that binds.
- Load indicator: any sign the indicator has deployed.
- Labels: must remain legible and intact.
Retirement triggers: any fall-arrest event, a deployed load indicator, or any kinked, birdcaged, or broken-wire cable. Remove the unit from service immediately and tag it so it cannot be reused.
