Product Specific Applications
WARNING
!
Personal Fall Arrest: HTL may be used to support a MAXIMUM 2 PFAS for use in Fall Arrest
applications. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of
at least 5,000 lbs. Maximum free fall is 6‘, or up to 12’ if used in combination with equipment
explicitly certified for such use. Applicable D-ring: Dorsal.
Restraint: HTL may be used in Restraint applications. Restraint systems prevent workers from
reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard. Always account for fully deployed length of
lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of
at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on surfaces with
slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/horizontal). Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Side, Shoulder.
For all applications: worker weight capacity range (including all clothing, tools, and equipment)
Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious
injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.
is 130-310 lbs., per attached worker (maximum 2 workers).
Limitations
Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient clearance below the anchorage connector to arrest a fall before the
user strikes the ground or an obstruction. When calculating fall clearance, account for a MINIMUM 2’ safety
factor, deceleration distance, user height, length of lanyard/SRL, harness stretch, lifeline deflection, and all
other applicable factors.
Swing Falls: Prior to installation or use, make considerations for eliminating or minimizing all swing fall
hazards. Swing falls occur when the anchor is not directly above the location where a fall occurs. Always work
as close to in line with the anchor point as possible. Swing falls significantly increase the likelihood of serious
injury or death in the event of a fall.
Diagram shown is an example fall clearance calculation ONLY.
