4015-Z Anti-Panic Removable Rope Grab, 2-Pack
The Super Anchor 4015-Z is a zinc plated steel ADP fall arrester with a hinged, key locked gate that installs onto or removes from any point on a 5/8 inch SAS lifeline, no need to feed the rope through from the end. The panic grab function guards against unintentional disengagement during a fall, and the cam locks onto the rope in a single direction with a 3,600 lb breaking strength.
What is included: 2 fall arrester 4015-Z removable rope grabs. Install with the direction arrow pointing to the lifeline anchorage end, connect through a personal energy absorber or a connecting component up to 30 inches long, and the arrester decelerates a fall in a maximum of 39 inches. Compliant with OSHA 1926.502, ANSI Z359.1-07, and CSA Z259.2.5.
Who Needs This Product
Workers who move on and off lifelines during the day and want a grab that installs at any point on the rope instead of threading from the end. The keyed gate with lock nut opens for mid-line attachment, and the anti-panic function keeps a falling worker from unintentionally releasing the cam, a hazard with basic mechanical grabs. Rig it with the direction arrow toward the anchor, a connecting component no longer than 30 inches, and a personal energy absorber on a full body harness. The 4015-Z is not rated for reverse rigging and always works as part of a complete personal fall arrest system.
Features
Removable at any point
Open the gate lock clip, position the gate key, and unthread the lock nut to install or remove the arrester mid-line.
Anti-panic grab function
Guards against unintentional disengagement during a fall, even if the worker grabs the device on the way down.
Three-step gate security
Gate lock clip, gate key slot, and threaded lock nut must all be operated in sequence, so the gate cannot open accidentally.
Single direction cam lock
Force applied to the connector ring drives the cam onto the rope; the direction arrow must point to the lifeline A-end.
Zinc plated steel
Plated body, roller, and cam resist corrosion; rinse with fresh water after salt air exposure.
Serialized and testable
Each arrester carries a serial number with cam lock, mobility, and ring spring tests specified before every use.

Direction matters. A fall arrester installed with the direction arrow pointing away from the lifeline anchorage end will not lock, resulting in serious injury or death in a fall. Confirm arrow orientation, perform the cam lock and mobility tests before each use, and never attach the arrester directly to the harness dorsal or side D-ring or use it for reverse rigging.

Typical Applications
Installation Overview
Complete gate operation figures and lock tests are in the SAS Lifeline Manual 05-2024 linked below. The basics:
- Open the gate lock clip, position the gate key into the key slot, and unthread the gate lock nut.
- Place the lifeline into the rope cavity with the direction arrow pointing to the lifeline A-end at the anchor.
- Seat the gate key in the key slot, close the gate lock clip, and securely tighten the lock nut.
- Connect the arrester ring to a personal energy absorber or connecting component no longer than 30 inches, then to the harness dorsal D-ring.
- Tie a limiter knot below the working position to gauge free fall length and prevent disengagement at the rope end.
- Perform the cam lock test and mobility test before each use; any movement failure removes the arrester from service.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before installation and each use, with documented annual inspections. Remove the equipment from service when any of the following apply:
- The connector ring is bent or deformed, or the ring spring is missing or fails the spring test.
- The cam lock or rope cavity contains debris that a cleaning and retest does not resolve.
- The gate will not open and close correctly, or the lock nut will not tighten.
- The direction arrow is not pointing to the lifeline A-end; remove and reinstall in the correct orientation.
- Deep pitting or extreme rust is present on the zinc plating.
- The arrester was subjected to a free fall.
Tag equipment removed from service to prevent further use until inspected by a qualified or competent person.
