FallTech® 8' FT-X® EdgeCore™ Arc Flash: The First and Only Arc-Rated Class 2 SRL-P

When ANSI’s tougher Z359.14-2021 standard recently took effect, existing arc-rated personal SRLs were no longer compliant for below D-ring tie-off in high-heat and electrical environments.

Optimal for metalworkers, welders, and technicians who face the combined risks of high temperatures, sparks, and electrical exposure, the FT-X EdgeCore Arc Flash is the standard for Class 2 SRL-P performance.

  • 100% Kevlar® EdgeCore™ lifeline delivers proven strength, heat resistance, and leading-edge performance.
  • Rated for workers up to 420 lbs. with a lightweight, compact housing that reduces fatigue and keeps the SRL close to the body’s center of gravity.
  • Refined internal mechanism supports natural walking movement, minimizing nuisance lockups and maximizing productivity.
  • SpeedLink™ field-replaceable legs on twin-leg models cut downtime and lower total ownership cost.
  • AXIS™ enabled for fast, digital fall clearance calculations.

The FT-X EdgeCore Arc Flash comes in single- and twin-leg configurations. Each unit is ASTM F887-23 and ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 2 compliant for the most demanding conditions in the field. Visit the FallTech FT-X EdgeCore Arc Flash Page to find the option that’s best for your needs.
