The included energy absorber features FallTech’s patented ViewPack® cover with an inspection window for easy visual verification. Designed for use with 5/8" diameter synthetic rope lifelines, the system includes an alloy steel fall arrester for lifeline connection and a snap hook for harness attachment.
