6060 Trauma Suspension Ladder, 4-Pack
The Super Anchor 6060 Trauma Suspension Ladder is a self deployed rescue device that relieves suspension trauma after an arrested fall. The 62 inch polypropylene web ladder with 8 steps stows in a 4 by 7-1/2 inch pouch on the harness leg or shoulder strap; after a fall, the worker deploys the ladder, steps into a loop, and stands to take body weight off the harness leg straps until rescue arrives.
What is included: 4 trauma suspension ladders, each in its own storage pouch with cinch strap and hook and loop attachment. Emergency instructions in English, French, and Spanish are sewn to the ladder webbing. The 6060 supports the prompt rescue provisions of OSHA 1926.502(d)(20) and the rescue planning sections of ANSI Z359.1-07 and Z359.2-07.
Who Needs This Product
Every worker who hangs in a harness needs a plan for the minutes after a fall. Suspended in leg straps, blood pools in the legs and orthostatic intolerance can turn survivable falls into medical emergencies before a ladder or lift arrives. The 6060 gives the fallen worker a self rescue tool: stand in the ladder loops, restore circulation, alternate legs, and wait for help safely. At 3.5 ounces it disappears onto the harness until needed. Employers filling the OSHA prompt rescue requirement outfit entire crews, which is why this listing is a 4-pack. It is a rescue relief device only, not fall protection, and not for hoisting or lifting.
Features
Self deployed rescue
The suspended worker opens the pouch, unfurls the ladder, and steps in without outside help.
8 steps of adjustment
Choose the step height that lifts body weight off the leg straps; use both legs across two steps to reduce fatigue.
Feather weight
3.5 ounces and a palm sized pouch add nothing noticeable to the harness.
Universal harness attachment
Cinch strap mounts to leg strap or shoulder strap webbing, with hook and loop straps securing the pouch.
Trilingual sewn instructions
Emergency steps in English, French, and Spanish are stitched to the ladder webbing where the worker will see them.
Reusable after inspection
A deployed ladder returns to service after passing a damage inspection and re-bundling per the manual.

You must be rescued promptly to avoid serious injury or death. The trauma ladder relieves suspension pressure; it does not lower or free the worker. If help is not immediately available, remain calm, call out, use a cell phone, or phone 911. Deploy the ladder, jettison heavy tools if possible, and alternate legs frequently to reduce fatigue while waiting.

Typical Applications
Installation Overview
Attachment figures for continuous loop shoulder straps and leg straps are in the 6060 manual linked below. The basics:
- Attach the cinch strap to the harness leg strap webbing or shoulder strap webbing as shown in the manual figures.
- Feed the storage pouch through the cinch strap and tighten.
- Secure the pouch to the harness webbing with the hook and loop straps to prevent movement.
- After a fall, deploy the ladder from the pouch and place one foot into the loop that lets you raise yourself and relieve your body weight.
- Jettison tools, nail bags, or other equipment if possible to reduce suspended weight, and alternate legs frequently.
- Call for help immediately; if no one can perform a rescue, phone 911 and remain in the ladder until rescued.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before installation and each use, with documented annual inspections. Remove the equipment from service when any of the following apply:
- Webbing or stitching is cut, abraded, or damaged.
- PID or inspection labels are missing or not readable.
- Evidence of mildew, UV degradation, vermin, or water damage is present.
- The ladder was deployed in a fall and has not yet passed a post-use damage inspection.
- The pouch or attachment straps no longer secure the bundle to the harness.
- The annual inspection is overdue; inspect and return to service.
