New Soft Goods Products Available From Rigid Lifelines

June 9, 2014

It is our mission here at Rigid Lifelines® to provide people who work at height with quality user-friendly solutions to keep them safer and more productive. In keeping with this mission, we have recently expanded our product line to include a variety of soft goods, hard goods, and accessories. Evolve™ Full Body Harnesses, Defy™ Self-Retracting Lanyards, Connex™ Shock Absorbing Lanyards, and Gravity Guard™ Roofer’s Kits are all designed to offer users a high quality product at a reasonable price.

Evolve Full Body Harnesses

The Evolve Full Body Harness is available in standard and deluxe models in order to accommodate the different needs of users. Every single Evolve Full Body Harness has dual lanyard keepers, dual fall indicators, and 5 points of adjustment. Each of these features are available as standard features.

Dual lanyard keepers allow two lanyards to be connected to the harness when they are not in use to prevent tripping and entanglement on nearby equipment. Dual fall indicators make it easier to inspect a harness for serious damage before each use. In order to maximize comfort and security for the user, we made sure that every harness has five different points of adjustability. They are located across the chest, both sides of the torso, and both legs. By properly fitting a harness, workers are maximizing the effectiveness of their fall protection equipment.

The deluxe models of the Evolve harness line have all of the features found on the standard models, but they include two sections of 4-inch thick padding on the shoulders and the lower back for additional comfort, plus a utility belt for tool storage that can be removed. Every Evolve Full Body Harness is designed with features that are intended to enhance wearability and increase the effectiveness of the equipment for the user. 

Defy Self-Retracting Lanyards

Defy Self-Retracting Lanyards have several features that enhance usability. All the components on the Defy Self-Retracting Lanyard are protected by a heavy-duty, high-impact polymer housing. The unit is durable, but still lightweight. Because it’s easier to install and moves more easily with the worker, these SRLs offer a better user experience. But, don’t let the physical mass of the system fool you. These lanyards meet or exceed OSHA and ANSI requirements and adhere to the rigorous safety standards that industry demands.

Connex Shock Absorbing Lanyards

Connex Shock Absorbing Lanyards are available in several styles to fit the needs of different work environments. There are two types of energy absorbers that our shock absorbing lanyards use. Some have an internal shock absorber which is beneficial because it is lighter, compact, and more cost effective. Others have a hard shock pack which makes inspections faster and easier. And depending upon your anchorage locations, you may need a single or twin leg design. Twin leg designs provide 100% tie-off during movement between anchorage points. Although these lanyards can be used in many different locations, they are perfect for agricultural and construction applications. 

Gravity Guard Roofer’s Kits

The Gravity Guard Roofer’s Kit contains an Evolve Full Body Harness, a Connex™ Rope Grab Assembly with 50’ of rope, a locking installation carabiner, a reusable roof anchor with 32 nails, and a 5 gallon bucket for storing and transporting your fall protection equipment. This kit is designed for people who work in the construction industry and need fall protection while they are accessing residential or commercial rooftops. This kit makes it convenient to bring effective fall protection equipment to a jobsite where you may not be able to apply your usual fall protection measures.

Other Products

In addition to the aforementioned equipment, there are many other smaller components and accessories that we offer for fall protection systems. We have three different types of roof anchors that can be reused, used once, or used permanently. Our wire form and carabiner connectors are useful for a variety of applications. Rope Grab Assemblies can be used with vertical and horizontal flexible lifelines. Anchor straps in three different lengths can be wrapped around I-beams. And our suspension trauma relief straps are simple devices that can potentially save the life of a worker who needs to be rescued from a fall protection system.
