The Malta Dynamics Hybrid Hog Self Retracting Lifelines are uniquely engineered to meet the strict requirements of ANSI Z359.14-2021 for Class 1. They are manufactured in lengths ranging from 20’-30’. The braking mechanism holds maximum average arresting forces to under 900lbs and the maximum arresting distance to under 24 inches. Made from galvanized steel and high strength thermoplastic polymer for additional strength and durability, all of Malta Dynamics Hybrid Hog SRLs are tested to the strict ANSI protocols and meet all applicable OSHA standards.
The Hybrid Hog retractable lifeline has a maximum average arresting force of 1600lb and features a superior 24-inch stop. The Hybrid Hog retractable fall protection device presents a lightweight and durable easy-stack housing and agile 360° swivel top and bottom connectors to make it easier to attach your lifeline fall protection to the anchor or to your D-Ring.

How to Inspect Your Self Retracting Lifeline Correctly

Inspecting your equipment is an essential action when ensuring safety, there’s no point in wearing a lifeline if it’s going to fail when you actually need it. Using old or inadequate safety materials can have a detrimental outcome if a fall occurs. It’s important to inspect your gear prior to each and every use; your life is literally on the line, so take the time to examine.

Here are some tips on how to successfully check over your self-retracting lifeline.

• Examine Metal Components:
  • The Fall Indicator: located at the connection point on your SRL. When the force indicator has been tripped, it indicates that fall-like impact forces have been applied on the self-retracting lifeline. If the fall indicator has been tripped, you will see a red indicator at the connection point and the device should be immediately removed from service.
  • The Snap Hook: Ensure the mechanism opens and closes properly. Press on the gate to confirm it cannot be forced open. Please check to validate that the snap hook is not bent or deformed in any way.
• Inspect the Housing:
  • Ensure all fasteners are present and tight.
  • Inspect the label for serial number, batch number, manufacture date and part number.
• Inspect the Cable:
  • If the cable gets tangled in the housing, it is no longer adequate for arresting a fall.
  • Inspect the entire length of the cable for cuts, burns, frays, kinks or tears.
• Perform a Strike Test:
  • Grip the handle and quickly pull downward on the cable, place all the force above the fall indicator so you do not accidentally trigger it.
  • This will test the braking mechanism of your SRL
