From the innovative minds at 3M comes the new and improved DBI-SALA® Nano-Lok™ Personal Self-Retracting Lifeline 2G in December, 2019! Already one of the most popular personal SRLs on the market, this second generation of Nano-Lok™ has been redesigned from the ground up, in order to improve on every aspect of the previous generation and then some. Let's have a Nano-Look at the Nano-Lok™ and find out some of what makes it so extraordinary.

 

Features:

  • Fast Connection System - reduces connect and disconnect time by up to 60%
  • Sleek, Durable Nitrile Rubber Energy Absorber - designed to last 4 times longer
  • Extremely Compact and Lightweight Design 
  • Tough and Impact-Resistant Thermoplastic Housing
  • Quick-Activating Speed-Sensing Brake System
  • High Capacity External Energy Absorber and Impact Indicator
  • Wide Variety of Configurations Available

And that's not even all of them! With a capacity of 140kg, the Nano-Lok™ is capable of operating under a wide variety of conditions and the versatile nature of the lightweight and compact designs makes the range suitable for just about anything you could need it for. Additionally, the Nano-Lok™ is made to lock quickly - halting your fall within centimetres - so even at low heights you can minimise your risks.

 

Maintenance:

You can clean both the exterior and lifeline of the Nano-Lok™ SRL with water and a mild soap solution. For the exterior, you need to position the SRL so that the excess water drains out, and the lifeline needs to be air-dried, rather than heat-dried. However, even with these conditions, cleaning is hardly a complex task.

 

Unfortunately, SRLs cannot be repaired if subjected to fall force - it must be discarded. If inspection finds an unsafe or defective condition, it must be removed from service and either discarded or repaired according to the User Instructions. If in doubt, throw it out. Or contact us or somebody else Competent or Qualified for guidance. 

 

Warnings: 

There are several things to keep in mind while using any SRL. You must:

  • Inspect the SRL before any use to ensure proper locking and retraction
  • Ensure the lifeline is kept free from any and all obstructions
  • Never allow slack in the lifeline
  • Never knot or tie the lifeline
  • Always follow the instructions
