Sealed SRL

After thorough examination of the self retracting lifeline (SRL) market, Latchways have created the most advanced sealed SRL available. The combination of innovative engineering, superior materials and cutting-edge design has resulted in an SRL suitable for even the harshest environment which is easily serviceable on-site by a trained user.

Smarter

The ManSafe Sealed SRL has positioned itself to be the clear leader in the market place with its advanced use of technology to provide the complete fall protection solution.

• The ManSafe Sealed SRL uses Latchways’ patented Constant Force to allow the load generated in the event of a fall to be absorbed thus limiting the load to the user.
• Unlike competitors’ products, the braking system does not rely on friction and therefore does not require regular off-site checks to ensure consistent performance.

Safer

In the typical harsh—and often dangerous—environments where you would expect to find a sealed SRL, it goes without saying that you need to be able to rely on your locking mechanism—this is guaranteed with the ManSafe Sealed SRL.

• The Full Contact™ pawls provide a 100% reliable locking mechanism that won’t freeze, hang-up or corrode.
• The advanced pawl technology clicks, allowing a user to both hear and feel the mechanism and thus reassure them the system is in good working order.
• A built-in reserve line ensures that a fall is arrested safely even when the cable is fully extended.

Better

The modular construction of the ManSafe Sealed SRL not only preserves the quality of the product but also allows for quick and easy inspection—as well as full recertification— resulting in the most cost-efficient sealed SRL giving the best ‘return on investment’ for the operator.

• To ensure the SRL remains sealed the internal components are protected by rubber gaskets and seals ensuring the spring, locking mechanism and absorber are completely impenetrable to dust and water.

Exceeding Standards

• Independent testing to EN 360:2002—includes corrosion resistance testing (through 1000 hours of salt spray exposure)
• Complies with OSHA 1910.66 & 1926.502 and ANSI Z359. 1-1999
• Carries CE0194
• ATEX approved— suitable for use in potentially explosive environments.
• IP58 Approval (Ingress Protection).

Recertification Made Simple

The ManSafe Sealed SRL is a modular design that can be serviced in a matter of minutes with just a few simple tools, either locally by authorised representatives, or even on site. This gives operators the opportunity to service the product offshore and even if it does go onshore, costs are greatly reduced.

It is easily possible—with minimal training—for an organisation to undertake a complete inspection and recertification programme ensuring minimal ‘downtime’ during the SRL’s annual service—a common problem with other traditional SRLs.

Should a fall occur, the modular design allows for individual components to be removed and replaced in the field within minutes—allowing quick and easy servicing of not only the cable but also the absorber.
