CAMP Cobra 6 m self-retracting fall arrester

CAMP Cobra 6 m is a compact self-retracting fall arrester designed for personal fall protection in industrial work, construction and maintenance. The device is particularly suitable for work at height where the user moves vertically, such as ladders, platforms, towers and steel structures.

CAMP Cobra 6 m retractable fall arrester – a lightweight and compact solution for vertical fall protection.

General Information

The Cobra 6 is a self-retracting fall arrester compliant with EN 360. It features a 6 m safety webbing that automatically retracts into the housing and remains under light tension as the user moves. In the event of a fall, the internal braking mechanism locks the webbing immediately to stop the fall.

The device includes an integrated polyester energy absorber that limits the maximum arrest force to less than 6 kN. A fall indicator integrated into the connector shows whether the device has been subjected to a fall arrest event. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

The device is supplied with a guiding cord (Ø5 mm, length 6 m), which helps guide the webbing back into the retractor during vertical use. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
