6 Metres of Protection When It Matters Most

The Portwest FP42 is a 6-metre retractable fall arrest block built for working at height. This isn't just a safety device – it's the difference between a close call and a safe day on site. The wire rope lifeline extends smoothly as you move, then locks instantly if you fall, arresting you after only a short distance.

Key Features:

• Inertia Brake System: Sophisticated mechanism allows free movement during normal work but locks instantly during a fall. Arrests you quickly to minimise fall distance and impact forces.
  
• Wire Rope Lifeline: Durable wire rope stored on a spring-based reel inside the protective housing. Automatically retracts and extends to follow your movements without getting in the way.
  
• Shock Absorbing: Built-in shock absorption reduces impact forces during fall arrest. Protects your body from the sudden stop.
  
• 140kg Load Rating: Rated for users up to 140kg, accommodating workers with tools and equipment. Tested to handle real-world conditions.
  
• Swivel Snap Hook: Double safety lock prevents accidental opening. Fall indicator shows if the device has been involved in a fall and needs replacing. Swivel design prevents tangling.
  
• ABS Protective Housing: Tough plastic shell protects the internal mechanism from impacts and weather. Alloy steel heat-treated components inside for long-term reliability.
  
• Quick Installation: Easy to set up and use. Compatible with all Portwest harnesses and connectors for a complete fall protection system.
  
• 10 Year Shelf Life: Long service life from manufacturing date. Certified to EN 360:2002 and EN 362:2004 A standards.
