TurboLite+ Single Tie-Back Personal Fall Limiter, Miller 5K locking snap hook, zinc-plated steel
The TurboLite+ single tie-back PFL brings the PLUS family platform to tie-back work: Miller 5K hooks rated for hooking back onto the lifeline itself, so the structure becomes the anchor.
Certified to ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 1 and rated to 420 lb per OSHA, with no annual factory recertification required. This configuration carries a miller 5k locking snap hook, zinc-plated steel on the lifeline end.
Who Needs This Product
The tie-back rated Miller 5K hooks let the worker wrap the lifeline around a structure and hook back onto the line itself, turning any suitable member into an anchor without a separate strap. This MTL-OTB1-64/9FT configuration (Vectran core web with tie-back rated 5K hook) keeps arrest distances in inches, with no annual factory recertification.
