Demonstration fall with the 3103107 UltraLok SRL

Demonstrating a DBI Self Retracting Lifeline

 

http://www.pksafety.com/sereli.html In this video we will be demonstrating a DBI Self Retracing Lifeline. Be sure to watch our earlier video of the restraint type lanyard fall demonstration. Once you see this, I’m sure you’ll agree that having a shock-absorbing feature is a must, and that having an SRL makes a huge difference!

 

Fall protection serves two purposes: First it keeps you from hitting the ground in the event of the fall, and second it keeps the arresting forces on your body to a minimum. The legal maximum impact force allowed to be experienced in a fall is 1800 lbs, as required by OSHA. With just a restraint lanyard, you might experience as much as 4000 lbs or force on your body when you are jerked to a stop. The shock-absorbing feature included on Capital Safety’s SRL’s is designed to keep these forces to less than 900 lbs. This video shows a simulated fall with an SRL, specifically the 3103107 Ultra-Lok SRL by Capital Safety.

 

The Ultra-Lok SRL is housed in durable glass-filled polyurethane. It has a 1 inch web lifeline and aluminum side plates for maximum durability but keeping weight to a minimum. Ultra-Lok SRL systems have an anti-ratcheting twin disc brake system with an audio indicator to let you know it is functioning properly, for added security.
