Ridgegear "RGA4" Self retracting Fall Arrest Retriever, Inertia Reel Rescue Block with Retrieval Handle. Galv Cable Lanyard - 15 Metre
Retractable "self retracting lifeline" (SRL) three way retrieval block fitted with an up/down winch mechanism and the standard fall arrest capacity.Conforms to EN360 & EN1496
RGA4 / WFAB-3698


The RGA4 is a three-way retrieval block fitted with an up/down winch mechanism and the standard fall arrest capability. This unit can be used as a standard fall arrest block, but in the event of a fall, the operative can be winched up or down to safety almost immediately. As most rescue systems lower the casualty, the RGA4 can raise the operative to a safe area if the area below is unsuitable.
The RGA4 can also be fitted to the RGR1 rescue tripod for use in the confined access industry.
The Man-riding rescue retrieval winch function is for use only as a rescue provision & NOT for access/egress. For access or egress (raising or lowering of personnel) applications, the Ridgegear RGR7 man-riding winch should be employed, with the RGA4 being the secondary backup for fall arrest and/or rescue.
This arrangement must be backed up with an independent, separate fall arrest system and a rescue provision that is also separate from the RGA4 winch (e.g. RGR1 tripod and RGR7 winch). Where a 15m maximum length is suitable, the RGA4 / RGA4H (the RGA4H is a variant of the standard RGA4, with the addition of a steady handle, for applications where the fall arrestor is not fixed in position or solid mounted) can provide both fall arrest back-up as well as the rescue provision.
