FallTech has made the first go-anywhere, do-anything self-retracting device (SRD) with a tie-back hook. The 8-foot FT-X EdgeCore Arc Flash Tie-Back is a lightweight Class 2 SRL-P designed to handle higher weight capacity, leading edge exposures, and arc flash hazards.

The FT-X EdgeCore provides a new level of comfort with its streamlined profile that rests high and tight on your back. This revolutionary new iteration of the FT-X uses lightweight, 100% Kevlar® EdgeCore lifelines to resist the extreme temperatures from arc flash hazards.

As an ANSI Class 2 SRL-P, the FT-X EdgeCore Arc Flash Tie-Back can be anchored at, above, or up to 5 feet below a dorsal D-ring and is rated for use within leading edge (LE) environments.

The FT-X EdgeCore Arc Flash comes in single- and twin-leg options. Thanks to FallTech’s unique SpeedLink™ system, users can replace damaged legs in the field—virtually eliminating money-draining downtime for repairs.
