Probelt Retractable Webbing Fall Arrester WR040HV Black

General information

Self-retracting fall protection device designed to arrest the fall of a single user in situations where the anchorage point may be located above or below the user. The device limits the maximum arrest force to 6 kN in accordance with system requirements.

The device has been tested for horizontal use and for falls over structural edges. It is also approved for fall factor 2 situations, which allows use in applications such as mobile elevating work platforms where the anchorage point is located at foot level.

Advantages and differences compared to similar products

• Suitable for both vertical and horizontal applications including edge fall situations.
• Approved for fall factor 2, allowing anchorage below the user.
• Short 2 m retractable design reduces fall distance in work platform and maintenance applications.
• Equipped with swivel connection and fall indicator to simplify inspection.

Intended use

Suitable for work requiring fall protection in sectors such as construction, maintenance, industry, logistics and mobile elevating work platform operations. The device may be used in situations where the anchorage point is located below the user, for example in MEWP baskets.

Available clearance distance and the risk of pendulum fall must always be evaluated before use. Edges must correspond to the tested conditions, for example rounded structural steel edges without burrs.
