AL-310 VL2 Vertical Cable with In-Line Shock Absorber 20 m

The PGTEC VL2 is a high vertical safety cable system with an integrated in-line shock absorber, designed for 20 m ladders on tall towers, cooling stacks, refinery columns and wind turbines where a fall on a plain cable would generate excessive forces on the climber and the structure. An 8 mm galvanized steel cable runs the full height, anchored top and bottom, with a stitched energy-absorbing pack in a navy-blue protective sleeve spliced directly into the line near the bottom anchorage. The absorber deploys in a real fall, dissipating energy and keeping the arrest load well below the 6 kN biological limit on the worker's harness. A travelling rope grab attached to the climber follows the ladder normally and locks on fall, and the system is rated for a single 150 kg user including tools at a system strength above 22 kN. The 20 m length covers most industrial tower ladder heights, and intermediate navy guide clamps keep the cable parallel to the rungs. Because the absorber is built into the line rather than into the lanyard, the climber uses a simple comfort lanyard without extra bulk on the harness. The VL2 kit ships with top and bottom anchors, absorber pack, cable clamps, rope grab and a certificate. The PGTEC VL2 gives tall-ladder climbers a compliant, body-friendly vertical lifeline that limits arrest forces as well as stopping the fall.
