RidgeGear Fall Arrest Block with Recovery Winch 15m RGA4/EDGE

The RidgeGear RGA4/EDGE is a robust three-way retrieval block designed for use in fall arrest situations, equipped with an up/down winch mechanism and the added benefit of a shock pack for working over edges. This advanced unit provides both fall protection and a recovery function, enabling operatives to be winched up or down to safety quickly following a fall.

Key Features:

• Enhanced Fall Protection:

  Designed for working over edges, the addition of a shock pack absorbs impact forces, making it suitable for use in more hazardous environments.

• Efficient Winch Recovery:

  In the event of a fall, the winch function allows the operative to be safely winched to safety, with a 1:10 handle turn and force ratio for smooth operation.

• Recovery-Only Use:

  The winch is designed exclusively for recovery operations and should not be used for access or egress. A separate fall arrest system and rescue provision are recommended for complete safety.

• Avoid Horizontal or Foot-Level Use:

  Horizontal use or foot-level attachment is discouraged to prevent the risk of injury from striking objects.

High-Quality Construction:

• Line Material:

  15m of 5mm galvanised wire cable ensures durability and strength.

• Case Material:

  Sturdy alloy housing provides long-lasting protection in tough conditions.

• Shock Pack:

  Made from durable polyester, the shock pack reduces impact forces during falls, improving safety in edge-work environments.

• Connector:

  Features a double-action high-tensile steel swivel karabiner for secure attachment.

Certified Safety:

• Accredited to EN 360:2002, EN 1496:2017 B, and VG11.060, the RGA4/EDGE supports a maximum user weight of 140kg, with arrest forces limited to less than 6kN.

Weighing 11kg, the RidgeGear RGA4/EDGE provides reliable fall protection with the added benefit of quick recovery, making it ideal for high-risk work environments where edge work is required.
