Capital Safety DBI-Sala Sealed-Blok range of self-retracting lifelines

The Capital Safety DBI-Sala Sealed-Blok range of self-retracting lifelines (SRLs) is designed to be suitable for harsh environments. The range includes Fast-Line field replaceable lifelines on most models, an integral carry handle that doubles as a secondary fall arrest rated anchorage point, an RSQ dual-mode rescue operation model and retrieval winch models.

The field replaceable lifeline provides end users with the option of replacing the lifeline in the field rather than sending it to an authorised service centre, reducing equipment downtime and lowering the cost of ownership. The design does not allow the SRL to operate if the cable is installed incorrectly, providing users with simple verification of proper assembly.

The SRL is available in retrieval winch models for raising and lowering personnel or materials. The SRL can be quickly converted to and from retrieval mode for fast and efficient operation. The input crank handle has a primary brake that will prevent movement of the load on release of the handle. An optional bracket makes attachment of the SRL to tripods and davits quick and easy.

The RSQ model allows the user to choose between automatic rescue and fall arrest modes prior to use. If a fall occurs while the device is in automatic rescue mode, the SRL will arrest the fall and then automatically lower the worker safely to the ground or next level. In fall arrest mode, the SRL will arrest the fall and allow for an assisted rescue to take place. This two-in-one operation provides worksite versatility and optimisation for each fall hazard.
