Fall Arrest Inertia Reels and Retrieval Blocks
LiftingSafety provides an exceptional range of fall arrest inertia reel blocks available for purchase online. These essential pieces of fall arrest equipment—often known as fall arrest inertia reels, self-retracting lifelines (SRL or SRLs), and personal fall limiters (PFL or PFLs)—are designed to ensure safety in various applications. We offer a variety of options, from compact to larger models, both lightweight and highly durable.
Inertia reels are specifically engineered to minimise fall distance, thereby reducing injury risks associated with falls. For everyday use, our PFLs are small and lightweight, making them a practical choice. We also have long-range inertia reels with cable lengths of up to 60 meters, including models with ATEX (spark-resistant) certifications for added safety.
Additionally, we supply SRLs equipped with integrated rescue winches, which are crucial for safely retrieving individuals after a fall. These winches effectively raise and lower the casualty to ensure a safe recovery.

Ridgegear Mini Fall Arrest Block 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. 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 IKAR Devices have been specifically developed to offer fall protection and rescue in one, easy to use unit. Working similar to a car safety belt, during normal use the user can move freely whilst the galvanised steel cable lifeline is kept under permanent tension. In the event of a fall the locking system will activate and the internal brake disk will absorb energy to well below the 6kN limit required by the DIN EN 360 standard.
Product features: Easy to use, low-maintenance design. load carrying capacity. > 1 person, 12Skg - max. Various cable lengths available. Shockproof aluminium housing. Single handed, double action hook to connect to the users harness. Double action hook has swivel function to eliminate cable twisting. large carrying and attachment handle.

Inertia reels are a very important piece of fall arrest equipment as they reduce falls to a minimum when used directly above head. Reducing fall distance reduces the risk of injury to the casualty and makes the rescue easier and quicker, in many cases the worker can self rescue. The use of a fall arrest inertia reel can potentially reduce the fall distance to 100mm.
