DESCRIPTION
The Skyloc™Self Retracting Lifeline (SRL) is designed to be a component in a
personal fall arrest systems (PFAS). It may be used in most situations where
a combination of worker mobility and fall protection is required (i.e. inspection
work, general construction, maintenance work, oil production, conned space
work, etc.). The Skyloc™SRL is designed for use by a single person weighing up
to 400 lbs [181kg] (body weight plus tools) *PLEASE NOTE - capacity is specic
to lifeline model. See Page 6 for complete details. Skyloc™Self Retracting Lifeline
features a cam-action pawl system ensuring positive lock-up even in the most de-
manding environments. Available standard cable / web lengths allow the Skyloc™
to be mounted overhead in areas where there are no other convenient anchor
points for personal fall arrest means. The Pelican™snaphook’s unique hook body
design prevents the accidental “false engagement” to the harness dorsal D-ring,
while the case swivel or anchor connector (depending on model) provides an
easy to see load indicator showing whether the Skyloc™has been exposed to a
fall arrest load and needs to be serviced.
