New Miller Falcon Self-Retracting Lifeline Offers Xtreme Durability

With a lifetime housing guarantee, the high impact-resistant nylon housing proves to be virtually indestructible

Smithfield, R.I. (March 29, 2004) A new line of Miller Falcon Self-Retracting Lifelines (SRLs) exceeded a series of extreme durability performance tests that included being run over by a utility van, dropped from 20 feet, and hit with a hammer. When used in tough, rugged environments, the Falcon SRL sets a new standard as the lightest, strongest and most indestructible retractable lifeline on the market today. Available in 20-, 30-, 50- and 65-foot models in both galvanized wire and stainless steel wire rope, the Falcon SRL line features:

 A lifetime housing guarantee on the high impact-resistant, nylon housing specially-designed with durable, smooth-round edges
 Corrosion-resistant stainless steel and aluminum internal components extend service life & reduce replacement costs
 Lightest composite unit that is easy to handle and transport to/from jobsites
 Unique side payout design reduces wear on the entry guide bushing and cable for smooth operation with less drag
 Smooth, quiet operation; engineered spring retraction tension designed not to pull or drag on a worker to improve productivity and reduce fatigue
 Built-in, ergonomically-designed molded handle on the 50- and 65-foot units provides support and leverage when attaching to overhead anchorage; easy to install
 Dual swivels (unit top and snap hook) included on all models to prevent the lifeline from twisting during use
 New, improved load indicator on the snap hook identifies when the unit needs to be removed from service
 No annual factory recertification is required* lowering cost of ownership and increasing productivity
* Except in Canada where the Canadian Standards Association requires annual factory recertification

All Miller Falcon SRL models include a tagline and carabiner. All Miller brand products meet applicable OSHA, ANSI, CSA and CE requirements.
