Falcon+ Self-Retracting Lifeline with Galvanized Cable
The Falcon+ is Miller's workhorse overhead cable SRL: galvanized steel cable in an impact-resistant nylon housing, stainless and aluminum internals that shrug off corrosion, and a unique side payout design that cuts drag and wear for smoother operation at every angle.
Rated to 420 lb per OSHA and meeting OSHA, ANSI, and CSA standards, with no factory recertification requirement to carry on the maintenance budget.
Who Needs This Product
The Falcon+ is the overhead SRL for plants, utilities, and construction sites that mount a unit above the work and leave it there: corrosion-resistant internals for years of service, side payout that keeps the cable running smoothly off-angle, and a maintenance program that is inspections instead of recertification invoices.
Features
Side Payout Design
The cable exits the side of the housing, reducing drag and wear and smoothing operation when the worker moves off-center.
Corrosion-Resistant Internals
Stainless steel and aluminum components extend service life in wet and corrosive environments.
Dual Swivels
Swivels at the housing and snap hook stop cable twist and ease connection to the anchorage.
Engineered Retraction
Spring tension keeps the cable taut without pulling on the worker.
No Factory Recertification
Documented competent person inspections keep the unit in service.
Impact-Resistant Housing
The nylon housing takes the knocks of a working anchor point.
