Portwest Retractable Fall Arrest Block

Description

The Portwest Retractable Fall Arrest Block is a height safety device designed to protect workers operating at elevation, providing a reliable and responsive lifeline connection during work at height. The unit houses a retractable lifeline made from wire rope, wound onto a spring-loaded reel within a durable protective housing. The inertia brake mechanism allows the lifeline to pay out smoothly during normal movement and retract automatically, keeping slack to a minimum and reducing trip hazards on the work platform. In the event of a fall, the inertia brake engages rapidly to arrest movement and limit fall distance. The integrated fall indicator provides a visual confirmation that the device has been activated, making post-incident inspection straightforward. Connection is made via a swivel snap hook with a double safety lock, helping to prevent accidental disengagement during use. Suitable for construction, roofing, and industrial maintenance applications where an overhead anchor point is available, this fall arrest block is CE certified and carries a maximum rated load of 140kg. With a 10-year shelf life from the manufacturing date, it offers long-term service for contractors and site safety managers alike.
