Msa Safety vtohw-011-db-a Self Retracting Lanyard 6 Ft

Product Description

The MSA SAFETY vtohw-011-db-a is a single-leg self retracting lanyard (SRL) from the V-TEC Personal Fall Limiter series, designed for overhead anchorage applications in fall protection systems. The lifeline is constructed from high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE) and measures 6 feet in length with a 5/8-inch diameter. It supports a weight capacity of 400 lb and requires a minimum user weight of 130 lb. The anchorage end connects via a steel snap hook, while the harness end uses an aluminum triple-action carabiner. This unit is RFID-equipped for asset tracking and inspection management. Licensed HVAC, construction, and general industry trades install this SRL where overhead tie-off points are available.

The vtohw-011-db-a is suited for general industry and construction environments where overhead-only anchorage is available. It carries ANSI Z359.14-21 Class 1 SRL classification and meets OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910.140 and 1926.502 requirements. The polycarbonate housing provides durability in field conditions. A visual load indicator gives inspectors and workers a quick-check confirmation of whether the unit has been shock-loaded, supporting pre-use inspection procedures. The gray color coding and RFID tag support inventory and compliance documentation programs on larger job sites.
