Lightest Leading Edge SRL

Our mission was to create a groundbreaking lifeline that was not only lighter and more pliant than wire rope but maintain the durability and robustness of steel. EdgeCore is the result.
EdgeCore is not a webbing, it is a unique SRL line constituent comprised of Kevlar® cables combined with a UV-resistant composite structure that are engineered and tested to meet ANSI Z359.14-2021 requirements. EdgeCore’s flexibility and low profile makes for a small, robust, and smooth gliding FT-X leading edge retractable enabling optimum walking-working speeds. The strength of steel wire rope without its weight; this is the versatility of EdgeCore.
Can I use EdgeCore when working near a leading-edge?
Yes, when used in accordance with the FT-XTM User Instructions and applicable ANSI standards. Indeed, we ran the whole gamut of stringent ANSI Z359.14-2021 required leading-edge tests on the 8’ FT-X EdgeCore in our FallTech ISO 17025 accredited test lab. The tests require that we use a sharpened steel edge with a radius of .005 or sharper, and that's razor blade sharp. Beyond the scope and requirements of ANSI Z359, we have also successfully tested the 8’ FT-X EdgeCore over abrasive concrete edges. Please contact a FallTech Regional Sales Manager for more details.
Can you provide proof that EdgeCore meets ANSI Z359.14-2021 leading-edge requirements?
Absolutely. The ANSI Z359 declaration of conformity (DOC) and test report for all 8’ FT-X EdgeCore units are available for review. We have for many years published the ANSI DOC with test reports on our website for all to view and download. No log-in is required, and they are on the product page in the right-side downloads section.
Is it true that after use, if a twin 8’ FT-X EdgeCore retractable does not pass inspection, I can replace just the retractable in the field with a replacement unit and continue working?
With SpeedLink yes, you can. SpeedLink is an industry-first personal SRL innovation. Any 8’ FT-X EdgeCore twin retractable unit that does not pass inspection for any reason, such as a damaged or worn lifeline, can be replaced in the field. The unit must be inspected by a Competent Person before returning to service.
How do I replace a retractable unit?
For maximum productivity in the field first, order replacement retractables ahead of time. Then it's easy and quick to replace a retractable with our SpeedLink spanner tool. Easy-to-follow instructions and important safety warnings are available here. Spanner tools are available by ordering them directly from FallTech.

What about welding burns on lanyards?

[@dsrtvet82]

Welding burns are an issue and this product is not immune. The outer shell could get burned however, the braided kevlar cables on the inside are much more resistant to burns and welding slag adhering to them. A galvanized cable version is in the process of being released in the very near future using this same platform, but even cable can be arced/burned as well. Inspection is paramount to all fall protection products prior to use.
