Miller Falcon+ 20ft., 30ft. & 50ft. Leading Edge Self-Retracting Lifelines
The Miller Falcon+ Edge is designed to protect a worker in applications where the lifeline could meet an edge, in event of a fall, or where foot level tie-off is needed. This self-retracting lifeline features an integrated shock-absorber pack attached to the end of the lifeline connected to the worker. The Falcon+ Edge can also be used in overhead applications as a traditional self-retracting lifeline.
