Msa 10153385 Hard Hat Suspension 4-point Ratchet

Product Description

The MSA 10153385 is a replacement Fas-Trac III suspension designed for MSA Skullgard hard hats. This 4-point ratchet suspension system attaches inside the hard hat shell to absorb impact energy and distribute load across the wearer's head. It uses a ratchet adjustment mechanism for tool-free sizing and a secure fit. At 0.6 pounds, it installs quickly as a drop-in replacement. Safety professionals, site supervisors, and industrial workers rely on this suspension to maintain the protective performance of existing Skullgard caps and hats without replacing the full shell.

This suspension fits standard-size Skullgard hard hat caps and full-brim hat shells. It is suited for industrial environments including construction, manufacturing, utilities, and mining where head protection is required. The ratchet adjustment accommodates a range of head sizes without tools, making it practical for shared-use programs or high-turnover job sites where quick fitting is necessary. This is a like-for-like replacement intended to restore the original suspension system in a worn or damaged Skullgard shell.
