Malta Dynamics C7201D-G2 Dual-Leg 11-foot Pygmy Hog SRL – Extended 100% Tie-Off Reach
The Malta Dynamics C7201D-G2 Dual-Leg 11-foot Pygmy Hog SRL provides the ultimate safety and flexibility by integrating two independent C7201-G2 units onto a single connector plate. This twin-leg setup allows users to maintain 100% tie-off while navigating complex worksites or moving between widely spaced anchor points. For single-unit applications where constant transition is not required, explore the Malta Dynamics C7201-G2 Single 11-foot SRL for a streamlined alternative.
Engineered for Safe Anchor Transitions.

Dual Self-Retracting Lifelines for Continuous Fall Protection
Designed for maximum safety in dynamic work environments, the C7201D-G2 features two 11-foot lifelines that attach to the user's dorsal D-ring via a durable twin-leg connector plate. This system provides continuous protection, allowing users to alternate between anchor points without ever being disconnected. Each 11-foot lifeline is crafted from high-performance UHMWPE and polyester, delivering elite durability in harsh industrial conditions. For a complete part breakdown, view the C7201D-G2 Technical Spec Sheet.
360-Degree Swivel Technology for Enhanced Mobility
The dual configuration includes independent 360-degree swivel tops on both SRLs, allowing for complete freedom of movement during lateral and vertical transitions. This design prevents lifeline tangling, ensuring smooth payout and retraction as you navigate the job site. The self-locking alloy steel snap hooks provide rapid and reliable anchorage, while the twin-leg system significantly reduces the risk of unanchored transitions. Before deploying this system, always review the Owner's Manual linked below.
All-Day Comfort and High-Visibility Webbing
Weighing only 7.8 lbs, the C7201D-G2 Dual SRL system is lightweight enough for all-day use, minimizing fatigue during extended shifts. The ergonomic connector plate ensures the units stay properly positioned on the back without causing shoulder strain. The bright yellow lifelines feature contrasting black edges, simplifying daily pre-use inspections. If a red fall indicator is visible on either unit, that component has arrested a fall and must be retired immediately. Document all checks using the Pygmy Hog SRL Inspection Form.

Malta Dynamics C7201D-G2 Dual Pygmy Hog FAQ
1. Why is a dual-leg SRL preferred over a single unit?
A dual-leg system like the C7201D-G2 allows for 100% tie-off, meaning you connect to your next anchor point before disconnecting from the previous one. This eliminates the "gap" in fall protection during transitions. For tasks where you remain at a single anchor, the Malta Dynamics Single 11-foot SRL may be a more streamlined choice.
2. How does the 11-foot length affect my safety plan?
The 11-foot reach allows for nearly double the lateral movement compared to standard 6-foot units. This is ideal for ladder-to-roof transitions or working on large structural frames. Always refer to the Owner's Manual above to calculate your total fall clearance for this extended reach.
3. Is the C7201D-G2 rated for Leading Edge applications?
No. These units are ANSI Class 1-P devices, intended for overhead anchorage only. They are not designed or tested for contact with sharp edges (Class 2) during a fall. Using them in a leading-edge environment could cause the synthetic lifeline to fail.
4. What should I check during a daily pre-use inspection?
You must inspect both lifelines for damage, verify the alloy snap hooks lock correctly, and ensure the red fall indicator is not visible on either unit. We recommend using the Malta Dynamics SRL Inspection Form to maintain accurate safety records for your site.
5. How do I perform a strike test on a twin-leg SRL?
Pull each lifeline downward sharply and independently. Both independent braking mechanisms must engage instantly. If either leg fails to lock, the entire system must be taken out of service immediately.
6. What is the total weight capacity for this dual system?
The worker's weight capacity range is 130 to 310 lbs. This includes the worker's body weight plus all tools, clothing, and equipment. Exceeding this limit can result in arrest forces that exceed safe OSHA/ANSI thresholds.
7. How do I avoid common mistakes with 11-foot dual SRLs?
- 1. Swing Fall Hazards: With 11 feet of reach, it is easy to wander far from your anchor. Ensure you stay as close to overhead as possible to avoid a pendulum-style swing fall.
- 2. Snap-Back Damage: Never allow the lifelines to retract uncontrolled at high speed. This can damage the internal power springs; always walk the snap hooks back to the housing.
- 3. Dirty Environment Storage: Keep the UHMWPE lifelines clean of grease and mud to ensure the retraction and braking mechanisms stay fluid for the life of the product.
