50′ EDGEHOG SRL W/ SNAP HOOK, CLASS 2
SKU: LE7050-G2. When your employees work at heights, they need the right fall protection equipment. If they're working near a leading edge, a standard, portable self-retracting lifeline (SRL) isn't enough to keep them safe. Most SRL components aren't tested to withstand the sharp edges workers may encounter when tying off at foot level. At Malta Dynamics, we've developed fall protection systems that allow workers to enjoy all the perks of an SRL while protecting them near leading edges. Our Leading Edge 50' w/ Snap Hook is the longest Leading Edge product in our inventory. It features a 360-degree swivel top connection point that allows the durable thermoplastic housing to rotate as the person moves. This SRL also has a sturdy galvanized steel cable with a built-in strike test grip for added safety. Our Leading Edge 50' w/ Snap Hook has been tested to meet the strict standards of ANSI Z359.14-2021, and OSHA 1926 Subpart M and OSHA 1910.

Follow these pre-use inspection tips to keep your Leading Edge fall protection system in good condition for years to come: 1. Examine Metal Components Before using your Leading Edge SRL, inspect the: Fall indicator: The fall indicator is located at your SRL's connection point. If it has been tripped, you'll see a red indicator. You should not use the device if the fall indicator is tripped. Snap hook: Check to make sure the SRL's snap hook opens and closes correctly. Press on the gate to confirm it can't be forced open and ensure the snap hook isn't bent or deformed in any way. 2. Inspect the Housing Ensure all of the fasteners are present and tightened, and check the label for the manufacture date, part number, serial number and batch number. 3. Check the Cable If the cable gets tangled in the housing, the SRL won't arrest a fall. Examine the entire length of the cable for cuts, burns, frays, kinks or tears. 4. Perform a Strike Test To test your SRL's braking mechanism, grip the handle and quickly pull down on the cable. Place all the force above the fall indicator so you avoid accidentally triggering it. If the brakes don't engage, you should remove the SRL from service.

30′ EDGEHOG SRL W/ SNAP HOOK, CLASS 2
SKU: LE7030-G2. A self-retracting lifeline is designed to limit the shock load to the body of a worker by limiting the distance of a fall. This makes them attractive pieces of equipment to use as a lifeline while working at heights, but not all fall hazards are the same.

Using outdated or faulty safety materials can have a detrimental outcome if a fall occurs. You should inspect your gear prior to every use. Here are some tips on how to successfully perform a pre-use inspection of your self-retracting lifeline. Examine Metal Components: The Fall Indicator: located at the connection point on your SRL. When the force indicator has been tripped, it indicates that fall-like impact forces have been applied on the self-retracting lifeline. If the fall indicator has been tripped, you will see a red indicator at the connection point and the device should be immediately removed from service.

Leading Edge SRLs
What are Self-Retracting Lifelines (SRLs)?
Self-retracting lifelines, also called self-retracting devices, are fall protection tools that automatically extend and retract to keep the lifeline taut and reduce free-fall distance.
Why Leading Edge SRLs Matter in Fall Protection
Your equipment must resist wear from sharp edge exposure and high-impact falls. Class 2 Leading Edge Self-Retracting Lifelines—such as Malta Dynamics’ lineup—feature galvanized steel cable, built-in shock absorbers and static strength, all tested under ANSI Z359 standards for edge self-use at foot level or above a D-Ring. This ensures solid protection when standard SRLs fall short.
Choosing the Right Hook: Snap vs Rebar
Snap Hooks
Selecting the appropriate hook is vital for effective fall protection. Snap hooks offer secure and quick connections. Crafted from alloy steel, both hook types provide the necessary strength to support workers during critical operations, ensuring safety is never compromised.
Rebar Hooks
Selecting the appropriate hook is vital for effective fall protection. Steel rebar hooks are tailored for irregular and larger anchor points. Crafted from alloy steel, both hook types provide the necessary strength to support workers during critical operations, ensuring safety is never compromised.
Features of Malta Dynamics Leading Edge Self-Retracting Lifelines
Malta Dynamics’ Leading Edge SRLs offer the following features:
- Galvanized Steel Cable – Provides maximum durability against sharp edges
- 360-Degree Swivel Top Composite Housing – Allows smooth, tangle-free movement
- Built-In Energy Absorber – Reduces arresting forces during a fall
- Load Indicator Hook with High-Gate Snap Hook – Ensures visual fall detection and ANSI compliance
- Lightweight Ergonomic Handle – Includes tray-style lifeline exit for easy connection to back D-Ring
Types of Leading Edge SRLs Offered by Malta Dynamics
Finding the best Leading Edge SRL option for your particular worksite is essential to ensuring safety for all employees working at heights.
EDGEHOG SRL with Snap Hook (6, 10, 20, 30, 50 feet)
Ideal for standard leading-edge applications. The self-retracting lifeline automatically adjusts cable length as workers move, providing continuous fall protection without excess slack. Multiple length options ensure optimal coverage for various job sites and working heights.
EDGEHOG Dual SRL with Snap Hook (6, 10 feet)
Dual-leg design for increased mobility and redundancy. This configuration allows workers to maintain 100% tie-off when moving between anchor points, as one leg can remain connected while repositioning the other. The dual-leg system is particularly valuable in confined spaces or complex work environments where continuous protection is critical.
EDGEHOG SRL with Rebar Hook (6, 10 feet)
Heavy-duty alternative for construction and rebar tie-off points. The specialized rebar hook is engineered to securely attach to #4 rebar or larger, making it perfect for concrete construction and structural steel work. This robust connection point eliminates the need for additional hardware while providing reliable fall protection in demanding construction environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of applications are these SRLs best suited for?
Malta’s Class 2 Leading Edge SRLs are ideal for construction, roofing, steel erection and other elevated work at height where sharp edge exposure is present. Our safety equipment is trusted by professionals and distributors to ensure reliable performance in demanding environments.
Can I tie off at the foot level with these SRLs?
Yes. These devices are built for foot-level or below anchor points and offer extra protection in edge applications.
How often should I inspect my fall protection device?
Inspect the steel cable, snap hook, housing and cable exit before every use. Include a functional strike test and check compliance with OSHA and ANSI safety standards.
How is a self-retracting lifeline different from a standard lanyard?
A self-retracting lifeline stays taut and quickly locks during a fall, reducing free-fall distance. Traditional lanyards remain fixed in length and offer less mobility and protection.
