In high-risk environments where safety is paramount, the Leading Edge Self Retracting Lifeline by Kosto delivers exceptional protection and performance. Designed specifically for leading edge applications, this self-retracting lifeline features a galvanized cable with an energy absorber to handle the unique challenges posed by working near edges. Its advanced design ensures durability and reliability, making it an indispensable tool for fall protection.

Constructed with a thermoplastic housing and stainless steel components, this lifeline offers superior resilience against wear and tear. The self-retracting mechanism smoothly extends and retracts the cable, minimizing trip hazards while maintaining a secure connection. The anchor point carabiner includes a swivel snap hook for ease of attachment, and zinc-plated steel carabiners with a double lock and 3/4” (19 mm) opening are rated to withstand forces up to 17 kN (3,600 lb.), ensuring robust security.
