The 20 ft Steel Cable SRL with Swivel Snap Hook is a compact, jobsite-ready self-retracting lifeline designed to help protect workers from fall hazards while supporting mobility, secure connection, and efficient movement at height. Built for construction, maintenance, industrial, utilities, roofing, steel erection, warehouse, and general elevated work applications, this SRL provides a practical fall protection solution for workers who need reliable tie-off without excess slack.
This self-retracting lifeline includes a 20 ft galvanized steel cable housed in a durable unit with an integrated side handle for easier carrying, transport, and positioning. The galvanized steel cable provides strength and durability for demanding jobsites, while the compact housing helps make the unit easier to handle in areas where space and connection points are limited.
The included steel snap hook with swivel is designed to provide a quick and secure connection to compatible anchorage points. Its self-locking mechanism helps simplify hook-up and removal while reducing the chance of accidental disengagement when used properly. The 360° swivel action helps prevent twisting and tangling during movement, giving workers better mobility and reducing cable management issues during active work.
This SRL is designed to distribute fall arrest forces effectively and supports a capacity range of 130 to 310 lb. In the event of a fall, the device is engineered with an average arrest force of 900 lb and a maximum arrest distance of 42 inches. With a 7.5 ft fall clearance requirement, this unit helps workers and safety managers plan proper tie-off points and fall arrest setup before work begins.
The galvanized steel cable also provides added cut resistance compared to standard web lifelines, making it useful in work environments where durability is a priority. When working around sharp or abrasive surfaces, users must always confirm that the SRL is appropriate for the specific edge hazard, anchorage location, and application.
This unit is designed as a rescue and retrieval fall protection system and includes the SRL housing, 20 ft galvanized steel cable with handle attached, galvanized swivel steel snap hook, swivel self-locking carabiner, and tagline. It meets ANSI Z359.14 Class 1, ANSI A10.32, OSHA 1910, and OSHA 1926 Subpart M requirements. Class 1 SRLs are intended for applications where the device is used at or above the dorsal D-ring anchorage point.
For contractors, safety managers, and crews who need dependable fall protection equipment, this 20 ft steel cable SRL offers a strong combination of compact design, secure connection, swivel mobility, durable cable construction, and recognized compliance for elevated work.
Important Safety Note
This SRL must be used only as part of a complete personal fall arrest system that includes a compatible full body harness, approved anchorage, proper connector, and a written fall protection plan. Always verify fall clearance, anchorage location, swing fall hazards, edge exposure, user capacity, inspection requirements, and compatibility before use. Class 1 SRLs are intended for use at or above the dorsal D-ring anchorage point.

FAQ
What is a Class 1 SRL?
A Class 1 self-retracting lifeline is designed for applications where the SRL is used at or above the dorsal D-ring anchorage point. This type of SRL is commonly used for overhead or elevated anchorage tie-off applications where fall clearance and system setup meet the manufacturer’s requirements.
How long is the lifeline on this SRL?
This SRL includes a 20 ft galvanized steel cable, giving workers a practical working range while helping reduce excess slack compared to traditional lanyards.
What is the benefit of the swivel snap hook?
The swivel snap hook rotates a full 360°, helping reduce cable twisting and tangling as the worker moves. This can improve comfort, mobility, and efficiency during active work at height.
What is the worker capacity range?
The capacity range is 130 to 310 lb. Users must include the worker’s body weight, clothing, tools, and any equipment carried when confirming total system capacity.
Can this SRL be used around sharp edges?
The galvanized steel cable offers more cut resistance than many standard web lifelines, but users must always confirm the product is suitable for the specific edge condition, anchorage point, and application. Not every SRL is approved for all sharp-edge work.
What standards does this SRL meet?
This SRL meets ANSI Z359.14 Class 1, ANSI A10.32, OSHA 1910, and OSHA 1926 Subpart M requirements when used as instructed and as part of a complete fall protection system.
