Malta Dynamics LE3311 10-foot EdgeHog SRL – Extended Reach Class 2 Leading Edge Protection
The Malta Dynamics LE3311 10-foot EdgeHog SRL provides the same rugged protection as the LE3261 but offers an additional 4 feet of cable length for significantly greater mobility. Equipped with a 10-foot galvanized steel lifeline and a durable alloy steel snap hook, this SRL is specifically engineered for leading-edge applications and foot-level tie-offs. Weighing just 6.3 lbs, this lightweight yet heavy-duty unit allows for extended movement across larger work areas without compromising safety. For shorter reach requirements, see the Malta Dynamics LE3261 6-foot EdgeHog SRL.
Maximum Reach, Certified Safety.
Understand why the Malta Dynamics EdgeHog series is the industry choice for sharp-edge environments and how the Malta Dynamics 10-foot LE3311 manages fall arrest forces.
Quick-Action Braking and Smooth Swivel Top Design
The Malta Dynamics LE3311 features a sophisticated, quick-action braking system that arrests falls instantly to minimize impact forces. The 360-degree swivel top design ensures the 3/16″ steel cable stays tangle-free, providing smooth payout and retraction as you move. The heavy-duty snap hook connects securely to any standard harness D-ring, offering the perfect balance of flexibility and security for workers in high-risk industrial environments.
Engineered for Sharp Edges and Foot-Level Tie-Offs
Built for the most demanding sites, the Malta Dynamics LE3311 is fully rated for Class 2 Leading Edge use. The galvanized steel cable and high-impact thermoplastic housing provide extreme durability, while the integral backpack-style shock absorber manages the unique forces of a leading-edge fall. This system ensures arrest forces are kept to a maximum of 1,800 lbs, exceeding ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 2 standards and full OSHA compliance.
Comprehensive Compliance and Safety Documentation
To maintain safety compliance, the Malta Dynamics LE3311 requires a documented pre-use inspection before every shift. Always test the centrifugal brakes with a sharp pull and check the fall indicator on the energy absorber for any signs of deployment.

Malta Dynamics LE3311 EdgeHog FAQ
1. Why choose the LE3311 over the standard 6-foot EdgeHog?
The Malta Dynamics LE3311 provides an additional 4 feet of reach. This extended cable is vital for workers who need a larger lateral working radius or are anchoring to points further from their immediate task area.
2. Is the Malta Dynamics LE3311 rated for foot-level tie-off?
Yes. As a Class 2 device, it is specifically tested and rated for anchorage below the dorsal D-ring, making it safe for leading-edge work where overhead anchors are unavailable.
3. What is the benefit of the galvanized steel lifeline?
Galvanized steel offers superior abrasion resistance compared to web lifelines. This is critical when working near sharp steel or concrete edges that could sever a standard synthetic line.
4. Does the Malta Dynamics LE3311 allow for 100% tie-off?
This is a single-leg unit. For constant connection while transitioning between anchors, you should upgrade to the Malta Dynamics LE3311D Dual 10-foot model.
5. How do I perform a strike test on this unit?
Grasp the lifeline and pull sharply downward. The internal brakes must engage immediately. Always walk the line back to the housing manually to prevent spring damage.
6. What is the worker weight capacity for the LE3311?
The Malta Dynamics LE3311 is rated for workers weighing between 130 and 310 lbs, including all tools, clothing, and equipment.
7. How do I avoid common mistakes with the Malta Dynamics LE3311?
- 1. Swing Fall Hazards: Avoid working too far laterally from your anchor point to prevent a pendulum swing over the sharp edge during a fall.
- 2. Snap-Back Damage: Never release the hook and allow it to retract uncontrolled; this can damage the internal retraction spring.
- 3. Clearance Miscalculation: Foot-level tie-offs require more fall clearance than overhead ones. Always consult the Malta Dynamics LE3311 SRL Instruction Manual for clearance charts.
