Vertical Lifeline Kit
The Tech Safety Lines Vertical Lifeline Kit is a pre-assembled mobile fall-arrest system designed to provide continuous fall protection during vertical climbing and work at height. Built around an 11.5 mm static rope with a Petzl® ASAP® LOCK mobile fall arrester and ASAP’SORBER energy absorber, the system allows technicians to move vertically while the fall arrester follows automatically along the lifeline.
Why It's Used
Technicians climbing or working on vertical structures need fall protection that moves with them without requiring constant manual repositioning.
The Vertical Lifeline Kit provides a portable rope-based fall-arrest system that can be installed at an appropriate anchorage and deployed where a permanent vertical fall-protection system may not be available. The mobile fall arrester travels along the rope during normal movement and locks onto the lifeline in the event of a fall.
The kit arrives pre-assembled to simplify deployment, reduce field assembly, and help ensure that critical components remain organized as a complete system.
