Guardian 10974 3-Way Rescue Retrieval Safety Self-Retracting Lifeline 50′ Cable

The Guardian 10974 3-Way Rescue Retrieval Safety Self-Retracting Lifeline (SRL) is a revolutionary piece of safety equipment engineered for the most demanding work-at-height and confined space environments. This isn’t just a fall arrest device; it’s a comprehensive rescue system designed to protect workers and facilitate a rapid, controlled retrieval in an emergency.

Ideal for tank entry, silo work, manhole access, and other permit-required confined spaces, this 50-foot SRL with a durable steel cable offers three essential functions in one robust unit: Fall Arrest, Rescue/Retrieval, and Restraint.

Key Features & Benefits

• 3-Way Versatile Operation: One device, multiple safety functions.

  1. Fall Arrest Mode: Functions as a standard SRL, automatically locking in the event of a fall to minimize arrest force.

  2. Rescue/Retrieval Mode: The integrated hand crank allows a rescuer to manually and safely retrieve an incapacitated worker from a hazardous location.

  3. Restraint Mode: Can be used to restrict a worker’s movement, preventing them from reaching a fall hazard.

• Integrated Rescue Capability: Eliminates the need for a separate retrieval system, saving crucial time during an emergency and simplifying your safety protocol. The geared retrieval system provides mechanical advantage for smoother lifting.

• Durable 50-Foot Steel Cable: The flexible, corrosion-resistant steel cable offers superior abrasion resistance and durability in harsh environments compared to some web lanyards. Its compact design ensures minimal tangling.

• Advanced Braking System: Features a sealed, maintenance-free braking system that is resistant to dust, moisture, and common jobsite contaminants, ensuring reliable performance when it matters most.

• Clear, Swiveling Hook Entry: The large, hot-forged steel hook has a 360-degree swivel to prevent cable twisting. The bright yellow keeper gate provides easy visual inspection for secure connections.

• Compliance & Trust: Meets or exceeds all applicable OSHA 1910.146 and 1926 Subpart AA, as well as ANSI Z359.14 and CSA Z259.2.2 standards, giving you confidence in your fall protection program.
