Malta Dynamics LE3313 10-foot EdgeHog Dual SRL – Class 2 Leading Edge Protection with Rebar Hooks
The Malta Dynamics LE3313 10-foot EdgeHog Dual SRL delivers the same elite protection as the LE3311 but features heavy-duty rebar hooks for secure attachment to structural steel and scaffolding. Designed for 100% tie-off compliance during transitions between anchor points, this dual-leg system features two independent 10-foot galvanized steel lifelines. This setup is specifically engineered for leading-edge environments where sharp edges and foot-level tie-offs are unavoidable. Weighing 11.9 lbs, this dual SRL offers the extended reach and maximum safety required for the most demanding industrial sites. For a shorter 6-foot reach, consider the Malta Dynamics LE3263 6-foot EdgeHog SRL.
Maximum Reach, 100% Tie-Off.
Watch this technical overview to understand why Class 2 certification is vital for foot-level tie-offs and how the Malta Dynamics EdgeHog protects the lifeline from severing on sharp edges.
Quick-Action Braking and Smooth Swivel Top Design
Each independent lifeline in the Malta Dynamics LE3313 features a quick-action braking system that arrests falls instantly to minimize impact forces. The 360-degree swivel top design prevents the 3/16″ steel cables from tangling, ensuring smooth payout and retraction as you move across the job site. The heavy-duty alloy steel rebar hooks allow for direct connection to oversized structural anchors, making this dual SRL ideal for scaffolding and structural steel workers needing added versatility.
Engineered for 100% Tie-Off in Leading Edge Work
The Malta Dynamics LE3313 is engineered for the most challenging leading-edge applications with its durable galvanized steel cables and high-impact thermoplastic housing. The integral backpack-style energy absorbers manage the high energies generated during a leading-edge fall, reducing arrest forces to a maximum of 1,800 lbs. This dual system meets ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 2 standards and OSHA regulations, protecting workers within the 130–310 lb capacity range.
Comprehensive Compliance and Routine Safety Inspections
To ensure 100% reliability, the Malta Dynamics LE3313 requires a pre-use inspection before every shift. Verify that the fall indicators on the energy absorber and rebar hooks have not been triggered; if red stitching or deployment markers are visible, the unit must be removed from service. Perform an independent strike test on each leg to ensure the brakes lock instantly. For documented safety compliance, download the official Malta Dynamics SRL Inspection Form below.

Malta Dynamics LE3313 EdgeHog FAQ
1. What is the benefit of the dual-leg 10-foot configuration?
The Malta Dynamics LE3313 provides 100% tie-off capability with an extended reach. This allows workers to maintain a constant connection while transitioning between anchors over a much larger working radius than standard 6-foot dual-leg units.
2. Is the Malta Dynamics LE3313 safe 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 not available.
3. When should I choose rebar hooks over snap hooks?
Rebar hooks are essential for anchoring to structural steel or scaffolding where a standard snap hook gate is too small. If you are only anchoring to standard D-rings, the LE3311D Snap Hook model is a lighter alternative.
4. Does the Malta Dynamics LE3313 feature internal or external shock absorption?
This model features a backpack-style external energy absorber. This is required for Leading Edge (Class 2) ratings because it can manage the extreme forces of a fall over an edge more effectively than internal-only absorbers.
5. How much fall clearance is required for the Malta Dynamics LE3313?
Clearance varies based on anchor height and lateral distance. Because this unit has 10-foot lifelines, you must calculate clearance carefully. Always refer to the charts in the Malta Dynamics LE3313 SRL Instruction Manual.
6. What is the worker weight capacity?
The Malta Dynamics LE3313 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 LE3313?
- 1. Tangled Lifelines: Ensure the twin legs are not twisted around each other before anchoring; twisted lines can inhibit proper retraction and braking.
- 2. Improper Gate Locking: Never side-load rebar hooks; ensure they are fully closed and locked on the structural anchor point.
- 3. Clearance Calculation: 10-foot lifelines anchored at foot level require significant fall clearance. Never guess—always verify with the official clearance charts.
