The MSA Latchways Leading Edge Self-Retracting Lifeline 62710-00US is engineered to provide advanced fall protection in demanding work environments where conventional self-retracting lifelines are not suitable. Specifically designed for leading-edge applications, it protects workers operating near sharp or abrasive edges where a fall may occur over structural steel, concrete, roofing systems, or similar surfaces.
Unlike standard overhead SRLs, this model incorporates a 1/4 in (6 mm) galvanized steel cable with a robust 7 × 19 strand construction, providing enhanced durability and resistance when used around abrasive structures. The high-visibility impact-modified nylon housing offers excellent durability while remaining easy to identify on busy construction sites and elevated work platforms.
The device combines MSA's patented Constant Force® internal energy absorption system with a dedicated external shock pack, providing a dual-stage energy management system specifically engineered to reduce forces generated during leading-edge falls. The shock absorber is enclosed within a durable chemical-resistant neoprene cover, protecting the webbing from environmental exposure and job site contaminants.
MSA's Full Contact™ positive locking mechanism delivers fast and reliable engagement during a fall while minimizing the risk of delayed activation, ensuring dependable protection during sudden descent.
Designed for both horizontal and vertical applications, the lifeline supports workers weighing up to 310 lbs (140 kg), including clothing and tools. The modular construction is fully field-serviceable, allowing easier maintenance and longer product life.
Certified to ANSI Z359.14 Leading Edge requirements and compliant with OSHA regulations, the MSA Latchways Leading Edge Self-Retracting Lifeline is an ideal solution for steel erection, roofing, bridge construction, utilities, manufacturing, oil & gas, and industrial maintenance where sharp-edge hazards exist.
