Description
Reliable Fall Protection for Working at Heights
The TPGS15 Retractable Fall Arrester is a self-retracting fall arrest device designed for professional work-at-height applications. It features a 15 m galvanized steel wire rope, a robust plastic casing, a swivel anchorage eye, and a swivel steel snap hook with integrated load indicator (PN 162). The system automatically locks during a fall event to help reduce fall distance while allowing freedom of movement during normal work activities.
