The RGA3 is a robust fall arrest block, and the ¿big brother¿ of the RGA2. With its longer working length and heavier construction, the RGA3 has been used successfully by the offshore industry for years. The carrying handle of the RGA 3 is part of the cast alloy housing and can be connected to the anchorage point using soft slings or a karabiner. The RGA3 is suitable for use in most industries to provide protection in work areas with overhead anchorage points.The RGA3 has a working length of: 15 metres

The RGA4 is a three way retrieval block fitted with an up/down winch mechanism and the standard fall arrest capability. This unit can be used as a standard fall arrest block, but in the event of a fall, the operative can be winched up or down to safety almost immediately. As most rescue systems lower the casualty, the RGA4 can raise the operative to safe area, if the area below is unsuitable. The RGA4 can also be fitted to the RGR1 tripod for use in the confined access industry, as it can lower a worker into an area where no ladders are fitted.

The RGA1 is a retractable mini web block ideal for personal issue to operatives working at height. The unit is designed to be connected, and worn directly on a fall arrest harness. The RGA1 has an almost instant ¿lock off¿ in the event of a fall, and recoils into the drum when slack is introduced into the lanyard. The reduced trip hazard and compact design make this unit ideal for tight work and tasks where a shorter arc of mobility is required. The RGA1 can also be fitted to most horizontal lifelines, but always check with the manufacturer prior to fitting.

The RGA5 is a compact, robust yet lightweight fall arrest block. This unit does not have an integral handle, but is fitted with an alloy swivel eye for connection to an anchorage via a karabiner. Due to its low weight, this device is ideal for use with certain horizontal lifelines. As a general-purpose fall arrest block, the RGA5 has proved it¿s worth in the industry. Fitted with webbing instead of wire, this block is suited for work in and around fragile components i.e.; aircraft industry and glass lined vessels.

The RGA2 is a multi purpose fall arrest block, which allows uninhibited movement during normal working activity. The carrying handle is part of the cast alloy housing and can be connected to the anchorage point using soft slings or a karabiner. The RGA2 is used throughout the industry to provide semi permanent protection in work areas, and is also used on lorry sheeting gantries in conjunction with a beam trolley (RGBT 1). For self-connecting to the block, it is recommended that the operative uses an extension strop (RGL4) in order to ease the task.

The RGK 9 is an aluminium captive eye karabiner normally fitted to fall arrest lanyards or restraint belts.The screwgate closure on this device means that the user must manually lock the RGK9 after fitting.

Very popular on the European mainland, the RGL6 is supplied in two lengths measured at full expansion: 1.3 Mtr/1.8 Mtr.A general-purpose lanyard used when the operative is working from a static position connected to a fixed anchor point. If movement between anchorages is required, a twin leg lanyard should be used (RGL3 or RGL9) to provide constant protection.The elastication in the lanyard reduces the amount of hanging slack in the lanyard, which can be helpful when working in tight spaces to help reduce trip hazards and entanglement.

The RGK11 is a large gate opening, aluminium captive eye karabiner, normally fitted to fall arrest lanyards for quick clippingThe double action snap closure on this device means that it cannot be accidentally opened but allows speedy one-handed operation.

RB8L Restraint Belt with Adjustable Restraint Lanyard. Light weight restraint belt (90004) with comfort pad. Two friction grip buckles give easy adjustment to fit sizes 75-140cm. Single attachment point. Fitted with an integral 1.5 Mtr adjustable restraint lanyard & karabiner.Restraint belts and lanyards are NOT to be used for 'Fall Arrest' but for retaining the user in a position where there is NO direct risk of a fall.

The RGL2 is supplied in two lengths: 1.3 Mtr / 1.8 Mtr. The RGL2 lanyard is of ¿traditional¿ type, using a five tuck spliced rope fitted with thimbles at each end. The lanyard is fitted with a standard shock absorber pack, even though the rope itself has some shock absorbing capacity. The rope used in the manufacture of this lanyard, shows some resistance to alkalis, oils and organic solvents. This lanyard should be used when the operative is working from a static position, connected to a fixed anchor point. If movement between anchorages is required, a twin leg lanyard should be used (RGL3), to provide constant protection.
