Retracts, yo-yo's, lifelines, SRLs... No matter what you call them, we've got the best in the industry. Count on a durable, well-designed lifeline for every situation.
From construction workers and roofers to electricians and window washers, millions of people work at dangerous heights every day. For these workers, falling from a height is a major risk, and for many of them, their only line of defense is their fall protection equipment, which commonly includes self-retracting lifelines (SRLs).
CONTACT USSelf-retracting lifelines — also known as retractable fall arresters, fall arrest lifelines, fall protection yoyos, fall arrest blocks and self-retracting lanyards — can detect when a worker begins to fall and stops the rope, thereby preventing the serious injury or death that may have otherwise occurred. Needless to say, these devices are essential for the safety of any employee working at a height.
It’s vital to choose the right SRL hooks for your applications. Selecting the correct equipment for jobs contributes to your efficiency and ensures your workers can perform tasks safely.

There are many reasons to buy SRL fall protection from Malta Dynamics, including:
From construction to aviation, we produce products for many different applications and industries. Chances are, we make SRLs for your industry, too.
At Malta Dynamics, we have experience working in the industries we provide safety solutions for. We are well acquainted with the safety risks in your industry and have developed sophisticated solutions to mitigate those risks.
Our products are extremely high-quality — so high-quality, in fact, that they exceed the safety requirements set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Even if you buy the highest-quality SRLs on the market, it won’t matter if you and your team don’t know how to use them properly. If your team is not familiar with fall protection lifeline systems, they will need training — which we can provide.
Professionals in the construction industry require fall protection equipment starting at 6′ for compliance. Team members working in general industries must use personal SRLs and the correct lanyard hook types at 4′ for their safety.
It is recommended that teams replace SRLs when they do not pass an inspection by an experienced professional. Replacing your worn equipment is the best way to make sure each part of the self-retracting lifeline system works as intended.
Malta Dynamics products can be repaired, but you must reach out to a qualified professional with experience working with SRLs for dependable results. Repairs are mandatory under the following circumstances:
Users may wipe off self-retracting lifelines with a damp sponge. Use a mild soap or detergent with water to lift stubborn grime. Once you remove the dirt, be sure to dry the device completely with a towel. Do not submerge self-retracting lifelines in water to keep your investment operating as it should.
A self-retracting lifeline must be tested and approved for leading edge specific applications prior to use. Malta Dynamics labels our SRLs for sale to make the shopping experience straightforward. Generally, a leading edge SRL features more robust cables and wear-resistant parts. These SRL types also have energy-absorbing technology inside the system to effectively break falls.
Our SRL offerings have detailed product descriptions with specifications. Our team mentions whether you’ll receive a snap or rebar hook with other essential information. Most product names also state what type of hook comes with your purchase for convenience and transparency.
Fall protection equipment like SRLs must be reviewed by a competent person before each use. This individual will deem each component in the fall protection system safe or unsafe after the inspection.
There are no OSHA or ANSI regulations that require manufacturers to include a length of service document with fall protection equipment purchases. Therefore, it is up to a competent person to inspect parts’ condition and decide when they need repair or replacement.
OSHA and ANSI do not have specific standards for construction employees working on portable ladders. Your workers will not have to be tied off while using collapsible ladders, but you can use Malta Dynamics fall protection equipment in these scenarios for extra caution.
Businesses are free to exceed OSHA and ANSI standards, but you will not receive a fine if your team members do not use fall protection equipment around portable ladders.
