Fall Arrest Blocks & Inertia Reels
RGA1 Mini Webbing Fall Arrest Block
The
RGA1 is a retractable mini web block ideal for personal issue to operatives working at height. The unit is designed to be
connected, and worn directly on a fall arrest harness.
The RGA1 has an almost instant “lock off” in
the event of a fall, and recoils into the drum when slack is introduced into the lanyard. The reduced trip hazard and compact
design make this unit ideal for tight work and tasks where a shorter arc of mobility is required. The RGA1 can also be fitted
to most horizontal lifelines, but always check with the manufacturer prior to fitting.
The RGA 1 has a working
length of 2.5 metres. Accredited to: | EN 360 | Web Spec: | 47mm
Polyester | Connector: | RGK1 | Weight: | 1.4 kg | Features: | Built-in shock pack | Size mm: | L 100 x W 110 x D 75 | Max Arrest Force: | < 6 kN | Approx Arrest Dist: | 0.1 Metres |

RGA2 10Mtr Wire Fall Arrest Block
The RGA2 is a multi purpose fall arrest block, which allows uninhibited movement during normal working
activity. The carrying handle is part of the cast alloy housing and can be connected to the anchorage point using soft slings
or a karabiner.
The RGA2 is used throughout the industry to provide semi permanent protection in work areas, and
is also used on lorry sheeting gantries in conjunction with a beam trolley (RGBT 1). For self-connecting to the block, it
is recommended that the operative uses an extension strop (RGL4) in order to ease the task.
The RGA2 has
a working length of: 10 metres Accredited to: | EN 360 | Cable Spec: | 5mm Galvanized Steel Wire Rope | Connector: | Double action. High tensile steel alloy | Weight: | 6.5 kg | Features: | Fall indicating connector | Size mm: | L 325 x W 200 x D 80 | Max Arrest Force: | < 6 kN | Approx Arrest Dist: | 0.5 Metres |

RGA26 6Mtr Wire Fall Arrest Block
A lighter weight and smaller fall arrest block than the RGA2, the RGA26 is also a multi purpose
fall arrest block, which allows uninhibited movement during normal working activity. The carrying handle is part of the cast
alloy housing and can be connected to the anchorage point using soft slings or a karabiner.
The RGA26 is used throughout
the industry to provide semi permanent protection in work areas, and is also used on lorry sheeting gantries in conjunction
with a beam trolley (RGBT 1). For self-connecting to the block, it is recommended that the operative uses an extension strop
(RGL4) in order to ease the task.

RGA3 15Mtr Wire Fall Arrest Block
The RGA3 is a robust fall arrest block, and the “big brother” of the RGA2. With its longer
working length and heavier construction, the RGA3 has been used successfully by the offshore industry for years. The carrying
handle of the RGA 3 is part of the cast alloy housing and can be connected to the anchorage point using soft slings or a karabiner.
The RGA3 is suitable for use in most industries to provide protection in work areas with overhead anchorage points.
The RGA3 has a working length of 15 metres. Accredited to: | EN
360 | Cable Spec: | 5mm Galvanized
Steel Wire Rope | Connector: | Double
action. High tensile steel alloy | Weight: | 10.5 kg | Features: | Fall

RGA4 15Mtr Wire Fall Arrest & Rescue Block
The RGA4 is a three way retrieval block fitted with an up/down winch mechanism and the standard fall arrest capability.
This unit can be used as a standard fall arrest block, but in the event of a fall, the operative can be winched up or down
to safety almost immediately. As most rescue systems lower the casualty, the RGA4 can raise the operative to safe area, if
the area below is unsuitable.
The RGA4 can also be fitted to the RGR1 tripod for use in the confined access industry,
as it can lower a worker into an area where no ladders are fitted.
The RGA4 has a working length of 15
metres. Accredited to: | EN 360 & EN 1496 A&B | Cable Spec: | 5mm Galvanized Steel Wire Rope | Connector: | Double action. High tensile steel alloy | Weight: | 11.35 kg | Features: | Fall indicating connector. Retrieval system. | Size mm: | L 340 x W 258 x D 80 | Max Arrest Force: | < 6 kN | Approx Arrest Dist: | 0.5 Metres |

RGA5 5Mtr Webbing Fall Arrest Block
The RGA5 is a compact, robust yet lightweight fall arrest block. This unit does not have an integral handle, but is
fitted with an alloy swivel eye for connection to an anchorage via a karabiner. Due to its low weight, this device is ideal
for use with certain horizontal lifelines.
As a general-purpose fall arrest block, the RGA5 has proved its worth
in the industry. Fitted with webbing instead of wire, this block is suited for work in and around fragile components i.e.;
aircraft industry and glass lined vessels.
The RGA5 has a working length of 5 metres. Accredited to: | EN 360, ANSI Z359. 1-1992, CSA Z259.2.2-98 | Web Spec: | 28mm Multi panel polyester. MBS 2350kgs | Connector: | Double action. High tensile steel alloy | Weight: | 2 kgs | Features: | Rip
stitch indicator | Size mm: | L
170 x W 120 x D 75 | Max Arrest Force: | < 6 kN | Approx Arrest Dist: | 1.2 Metres |
