Product Details
The Werner® Bantam™ Switch is an innovative self-retracting lifeline designed for enhanced safety and comfort in fall protection. Featuring a unique connection from the housing unit to the anchor point rather than the D-ring on the harness, this SRL minimizes user weight through a reverse mechanism, significantly reducing the load carried on the user’s back. With a compact and lightweight design, the Bantam™ Switch utilizes UHMWPE web for its lifeline, measuring 3/4 inches wide by 1/16 inches thick, and offers a 9-foot working length that limits fall arrest distance to less than 32 inches while keeping average arrest forces below 900 lb. The thermoplastic housing includes an omni-directional small hook, ensuring that the dorsal D-ring remains accessible for additional equipment or rescue needs. This model, R530809, also incorporates an integrated backpack style energy absorber, supports a weight capacity ranging from 130 to 310 lbs, and complies with ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 1 requirements and OSHA standards.
