FK-502 FA2 6 m Cable Self-Retracting Fall-Arrester Block

The FK-502 FA2 is PGTEC's mid-range 6 metre galvanized-steel-cable self-retracting lifeline, certified to EN 360 and intended for construction and industrial users who need a little more reach than a webbing block offers while still working close to structure. The die-cast aluminium housing with navy-blue end caps surrounds a sealed drum and centrifugal brake that pays out the 4.8 mm galvanised steel wire rope smoothly at walking pace and locks within a short arresting distance the moment fall acceleration is detected, capping peak force below 6 kN and preventing the suspended-worker swing that characterises old-style lanyard fall arrest. A forged steel karabiner hook with a red loading-gate indicator gives the installer immediate visual confirmation that the gate is fully closed, and a top anchor shackle accepts either a fixed anchorage point or a scaffold tube clamp. At 1.3 kg the FA2 sits comfortably on a dorsal harness D-ring yet is tough enough for outdoor construction, roofing, steelwork, wind-farm maintenance and offshore platform use. The galvanized cable resists abrasion from rough concrete, rebar and steel edges far better than webbing, and the sealed housing keeps rain, dust and mortar out of the braking mechanism. PGTEC ships the FA2 with a five-year warranty, serial-number traceability and inspection stickers, and it pairs naturally with the PGTEC FK-510 construction worker fall-arrest kit for contractors looking to standardise a single SRL across a multi-trade workforce.
