Accessories for retractable type fall arresters

PPE equipment for fall protection during work at heights often requires additional accessories. Such equipment is designed not only to transport systems ensuring work safety, but also to facilitate their maximum usability. The situation is no different when it comes to the accessories for retractable type fall arresters which significantly increase the convenience and safety of using this type of equipment when working at heights.

Guards for retractable type fall arresters

 

Special guards are among the basic accessories most often used with self-braking equipment. Thanks to them, it's possible to adequately protect equipment intended for vertical work from the weather. Reinforced PVC allows effective use in the temperature range from -60 to +50 degrees Celsius. This accessory is available in various color versions. In the offer prepared by PROTEKT you can also find a variety of metal swivel guards for use with self-locking devices for horizontal operation.

 

Top quality accessories for fall arresters

 

As a leading manufacturer of work safety equipment and systems, PROTEKT understands the need for safe transportation of the products. That's why, in our range you can also find special tool boxes that are useful accessories for fall arresters. They're also available with soft lining and can be used for both carrying and storing equipment.

 

Auxiliary Ropes and Their Role in the System

 

Auxiliary ropes, such as the AY 070 steel rope and the textile DT 760, allow the main self-retracting device to be positioned at the correct working distance from the anchor point, or to pass the lifeline through intermediate guides on a structure. Using a purpose-designed auxiliary rope rather than an improvised solution ensures that connection loads remain within the system's tested parameters. Improvised extensions can introduce loading conditions the device was never rated for, compromising safety without any obvious warning sign.

 

Why Storage and Transport Matter

 

Carrying a retractable fall arrester loosely in the back of a vehicle can cause housing damage, connection-point wear, and lifeline tangling, none of which may be immediately obvious but all of which affect performance. A purpose-built toolbox with soft lining keeps the device secure and simplifies pre-use checks. Consistent storage habits also make it easier to spot a missing component before reaching the worksite.

 

Completing the System

 

Protective guards, auxiliary lines, and storage cases each address a different stage of the equipment lifecycle: deployment, use, and transit. Combining all three reduces cumulative wear and extends the period between mandatory inspections.
