FallTech® Introduces FT-R+: Setting New Standards in Fall Protection

FallTech®, a recognized name in fall protection solutions, recently unveiled the FT-R+, a revolutionary development in self-retracting lifeline (SRL) technology. This new system features the innovative SpeedLine™ mechanism, making it the first Class 2 SRL that can be repaired right on the job site. This advancement promises significant benefits in terms of convenience, savings, and safety for workers across various industries.

Traditionally, repairing SRLs involved off-site logistics, leading to substantial delays and additional costs. The FT-R+ changes the game by allowing teams to perform field repairs swiftly, enabling them to replace damaged lifelines immediately. This revolutionary advancement improves operational efficiency while ensuring that critical safety measures remain effective. The FT-R+, with SpeedLine technology, practically eliminates the downtime usually associated with SRL maintenance.

In the words of Alex Dancyger, the Vice President of Business Development at FallTech, "The FT-R+ addresses a significant challenge in the industry SRL downtime. With this product, we have reduced repair times from weeks to minutes, enhancing both safety and efficiency on the job site. This is a testament to our commitment to innovation and advancing safety in fall-risk environments."

The FT-R+ employs the exclusive SpeedLine system, streamlining the repair process like never before. This cutting-edge design equips safety professionals with the ability to replace damaged lifelines in mere minutes, thereby minimizing interruptions to ongoing operations. Central to SpeedLine is the LineLoc™ mechanism—a reliable and intuitive locking feature that disengages a damaged cable and secures a replacement effortlessly.

Building on the solid foundation of the existing FT-R™ self-retracting lifeline, the FT-R+ retains all the high-performance features of its predecessor. This includes support for workers weighing up to 420 pounds and a variety of anchorage options, allowing adjustments above, at, or up to five feet below a worker’s D-ring. The FT-R+ incorporates a compact design along with advanced energy absorption capabilities, ensuring optimal safety and performance for leading-edge applications.

Dancyger further emphasizes the broader vision behind the FT-R+, stating, "It’s not just about minimizing downtime; it’s about guaranteeing the best possible fall protection for our workers without any compromises. We are proud to present the FT-R+ as a tool that not only upholds rigorous safety standards but also boosts productivity on job sites."

With the launch of the FT-R+, FallTech solidifies its position as a frontrunner in fall protection technology, providing safety professionals with efficient solutions for maintaining SRL functionality. The company’s unwavering dedication to innovation continues to raise the bar for fall protection standards, ensuring that safety equipment remains reliable, quick, and user-friendly.
