Product Specific Applications

! WARNING
Personal Fall Arrest: G-Link SRL may be used to support a MAXIMUM 1 Personal Fall Arrest System
(PFAS) for use in Fall Arrest applications. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions
permitted by the system of at least 5,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Applicable D-ring: Dorsal.
Restraint: G-Link SRL may be used in Restraint applications. Restraint systems prevent workers
from reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard. Always account for fully deployed length of
lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of
at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on surfaces with
slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/horizontal). Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Side, Shoulder.
(including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130-310 lbs.*
* Maximum capacity may be increased to 420 lbs. if used in combination
with Guardian Shock Absorber Extension (part # 01205).

Limitations

Fall Clearance: There must be
sufficient clearance below the
anchorage connector to arrest
a fall before the user strikes
the ground or an obstruction.
When calculating fall clearance,
account for a MINIMUM 3'
safety factor, deceleration
distance, user height, length
of lanyard/SRL, harness stretch,
and all other applicable factors.
Diagram shown is an example
fall clearance calculation ONLY.
Swing Falls: Prior to installation
or use, make considerations for
eliminating or minimizing all
swing fall hazards. Swing falls
occur when the anchor is not
directly above the location
where a fall occurs. Always
work as close to in line with
the anchor point as possible.
Swing falls significantly increase
the likelihood of serious injury
or death in the event of a fall.
Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious
injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.
For all applications: worker weight capacity range
Fall clearance calculation shown based on standing worker falling
directly in-line with anchor point. Always consider potential swing fall
and other hazards when calculating fall clearance.
*Eliminate Swing Fall whenever possible!
If Swing Fall exists, always account
for additional fall clearance.
