PRESS RELEASE
FEBRUARY 2023
Los Angeles, California
Linemen can now climb wood distribution and transmission poles more smoothly and quickly. Designed for exceptional user experience and performance, the new patent pending FallTech® APEX™ Pro Fall Restrict Device eliminates the shortcomings of traditional fall restrict devices, allowing linemen to work more confidently than ever before.
Articulating Strap Adjuster
The exclusive articulation mechanism conforms to any shape or size pole while maintaining proper orientation for best-in-class cleat engagement in the event of a fall. The thumb release lever allows for effortless adjustment, even with a gloved hand.
Dual Locking Mini Snap Hook
Purpose-built proprietary compact snap hook provides a safe, secure connection while operating with as few as two fingers. The removable center bolt allows for rope replacement or left-handed reconfiguration.
Horizontal Rope Adjuster
The thumb release lever and finger grooves provide ultimate ergonomics, while the internal part design allows for smooth, predictable rope control.
15mm Technora Kernmantle Rope
Extra-large diameter rope has better ergonomics and durability than traditional 10mm rope. Technora® fiber jacket further increases durability and adds environmental protection.
Slotted Bent D-ring
Unique D-ring shape manages off-hand rope and strap to prevent pinching of the rope or fingers during use—elongated shape permits removal of rope for left-handed configuration.
Magnetic Tail Keeper System
Included neodymium magnet body belt attachment prevents tripping and snags from the tail end of the rope and traditional tail keepers.
