Product Overview
The 2m Self Retract Lifeline is a critical component of any fall arrest system, engineered to provide immediate protection for those working at height. This robust unit features a two-metre retractable webbing line that facilitates freedom of movement while ensuring that, in the event of a fall, the arrest is swift and controlled. It comes complete with a carabiner and a swivel hook featuring a double safety lock, ensuring a secure and reliable connection between your anchor point and harness.
Key Features
Retractable webbing lifeline: The two-metre length provides ample movement for the wearer while the retraction mechanism keeps the line taut, significantly reducing trip hazards on-site.
Integrated shock absorber: This essential safety feature dissipates the energy generated during a fall, protecting the user by reducing the impact force felt by the body.
Swivel hook with double safety lock: The swivel design prevents the webbing from twisting during use, while the double lock mechanism ensures the connection cannot be accidentally disengaged.
High-performance webbing: Manufactured using ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, the webbing offers exceptional strength and resistance to abrasion in harsh environments.
Design & Performance
This lifeline has been engineered for uncompromising durability. The webbing is crafted from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, a material selected for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio. While the unit itself feels substantial and sturdy, reflecting its high-quality construction, it is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible when attached to a harness. The internal braking mechanism is highly responsive, providing the necessary peace of mind when working on elevated platforms or scaffolding, and is rated to support users with a substantial weight capacity.
Why No Customisation?
Safety is our absolute priority, and as such, this item is sold without the option for customisation. This is a piece of life-critical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Applying heat-press transfers, embroidery, or adhesives could compromise the structural integrity of the high-performance webbing or the external protective casing. Furthermore, any additional branding could potentially obscure essential safety certification labels or inspection dates, which must remain clearly visible at all times to comply with health and safety regulations.
Use Cases
This fall arrest block is ideal for professionals working in construction, telecommunications, and industrial maintenance. It is specifically designed for situations where a short-range fall arrest solution is required, offering a perfect balance between mobility and immediate safety for those working in high-risk zones.

Practical Advice
Before every use, it is imperative to perform a thorough visual inspection of the webbing for any signs of fraying, cuts, or chemical contamination. Ensure the double safety lock on the swivel hook is functioning correctly and that the carabiner closes and locks securely without hesitation. Always ensure your anchor point is situated directly above the work area to prevent the risk of a swing-fall hazard.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of your safety equipment is vital for its continued performance and your personal safety. To clean the webbing and housing, use only a damp cloth with mild, non-detergent soap. Harsh chemicals or aggressive cleaning agents should be avoided at all costs, as they can degrade the synthetic fibres of the lifeline, potentially leading to catastrophic failure when the equipment is under load.
After cleaning, allow the lifeline to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Never attempt to force-dry the webbing on a radiator or with a heat gun, as excessive temperatures can alter the molecular properties of the fibres. Store the unit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects, to ensure it remains in peak condition for its next deployment.
