Overview

Portwest FP81 2.5m Self Retract Lifeline - Overview

Frequently asked questions

Why does the FP81 have two legs?

So one hook can stay connected while the other is moved to a new anchor point, giving continuous 100% tie-off.

How much weight is the FP81 rated for?

140kg maximum, with a shock absorber pack to reduce the peak force transmitted in a fall.

How long is each leg?

2.5m per leg, self-retracting so slack is taken up automatically as you move.

What connectors does the FP81 use?

A screw-gate carabiner (19mm opening) at the anchor point, and a scaffold hook with a double safety lock (52mm opening) on each leg.

What is the webbing made from?

Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), chosen for its strength and abrasion resistance.

How do I know if the lifeline has arrested a fall?

Each leg has a fall indicator that shows if it has been loaded in a fall, at which point it should be taken out of service and inspected.

Does the lifeline expire?

Portwest states a 10 year shelf life from the manufacturing date printed on the product label, subject to routine pre-use inspection.
