FallTech® Unveils FT-R+™: The First Ever Field-Repairable Class 2 SRL

LOS ANGELES, March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- FallTech, a leader in innovative fall protection solutions, proudly announces the launch of the FT-R+, a groundbreaking advancement in self-retracting lifeline (SRL) technology. Featuring the revolutionary SpeedLine™ system, the FT-R+ is the industry's first Class 2 leading-edge SRL that can be repaired directly on-site, offering unmatched convenience, cost savings, and enhanced safety for workers and job sites.

Traditionally, SRL repairs required off-site logistics, causing delays and escalating costs. The FT-R+ redefines this process by enabling field repairs, allowing teams to immediately and safely replace damaged lifelines. The FT-R+ with SpeedLine empowers safety professionals to maintain critical SRL functionality without sacrificing productivity, ushering in a new era of fall protection.

"The FT-R+ addresses a significant challenge in the industry: SRL downtime," said Alex Dancyger, Vice President of Business Development at FallTech. "With the FT-R+, we've reduced repair times from weeks to minutes while enhancing safety and efficiency on job sites. This advancement underscores our commitment to innovation and our mission to advance safety in fall-risk environments."

The FT-R+ utilizes an exclusive SpeedLine system that simplifies and expedites SRL repairs. This innovative design ensures that damaged lifelines can be replaced in minutes, allowing workers to resume operation with minimal downtime. At the core of this system is LineLoc™, a simple and powerful locking mechanism that disengages a damaged cable and secures a replacement in seconds. This feature represents a significant leap in SRL technology, addressing the industry's need for field-ready fall protection.

The FT-R+ builds upon the proven foundation set by the premium ANSI Class 2-rated FT-R™ self-retracting lifeline. The FT-R+ boasts the same segment-leading features that made the FT-R such a groundbreaking safety solution for professional work environments. These features include support for workers up to 420 pounds and multiple anchorage options, including above, at, or up to 5 feet below a worker's D-ring. With a compact design, advanced energy absorption, and smooth movement, the FT-R+ delivers exceptional safety and performance for leading-edge applications.

"It's not just about minimizing downtime," Dancyger added. "It's about giving workers the absolute best fall protection without compromise. We want to stress that the FT-R+ delivers on uncompromising protection while keeping your operations at their most productive."

With the FT-R+, FallTech equips safety professionals with a powerful tool to tackle SRL maintenance. FallTech's unwavering focus on innovation continues to elevate the standards of fall protection, making safety equipment faster, more reliable, and easier to use.
