PRESS RELEASE
MARCH 2022
Compton, California
Our mission was to design a personal leading edge self-retracting lifeline that was lightweight, comfortable to wear and meets the ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 2 Leading Edge Standard. The patent-pending groundbreaking 8' FT-X™ EdgeCore™ achieves this and more.
The new 8’ FT-X™ EdgeCore™ provides a new level of comfort accomplished from its streamlined profile that it rests high and tight on the back for maximum comfort. No more aching backs accomplished
To extend its comfort, FallTech invented EdgeCore™ synthetic lifeline that delivers leading edge lifeline protection while reducing weight by 40% compared to 3/16” steel cable typically used for SRL-P’s. With this significant weight savings, no more sore shoulders or lower back at the end of a workday.
Moreover, SpeedLink™, an industry first, permits field replacement of an 8' FT-X™ EdgeCore™ twin retractable if it does not pass inspection before use. No longer will a leading-edge SRL-P have to be replaced when only the retractable fails inspection. With SpeedLink™, you just replace the retractable saving valuable time and expense. As a result, the FT-X™ will offer the lowest total cost of ownership of any Class 2 Leading Edge SRL-P.
When working at height on a leading edge, with the FT-X's streamlined design and EdgeCore™ 40% weight savings, you can concentrate on your work without distractions from your SRL-P. In addition, you will have the assurance that you made an excellent financial decision, too.
