As the name suggests, a Horizontal Lifeline system is designed to let you work high while being anchored horizontally between two anchors, rather than being stuck at one anchor point.

Horizontal Lifelines are used in many fall arrest or fall restraint systems due to their great flexibility. They can be used in areas lacking overhead anchorage points for personnel tie-off. The lifeline consists of a cable or rope that is attached to two or more anchor points on sites that poses a fall risk.

A horizontal lifeline can be used in combination with a personal fall arrest system to arrest a fall and limit the force transferred to the worker. A horizontal lifeline can also be used in combination with a body harness and lanyard to serve as a fall restraint system that limits a worker’s ability to reach a leading edge.

We carry a wide selection of Horizontal Lifelines in various sizes, lengths, and materials to cater to your specific needs. Whether for residential, commercial or any other purpose, we’ve got it.
