EQUIPMENT SHOWCASE
Capital Safety has launched DBI-SALA
Nano-Lok Self Retracting Lifelines (SRL)
which can be used in place of lanyards and
can be attached to any harness, reducing
fall clearances.
Rick Millar, Technical Manager for Capital
GEHL (a part of the Manitou Group) has
launched the RT Series Tracked Loaders,
with models the RT175 and RT210.
Features include the HydraTrac, a GEHL
patented Automatic Track Tensioning
System that provides the ideal tension for
the track system, saving time for the
operator and avoiding premature wear
and tear of the tracks; and the “5x5” Drive
Control System, an Electro-Hydraulic system
that gives the operator the choice of five
drivability settings (joystick sensitivity,
position reaction, engine response, anti-
stall and pump swash plate position) to
provide an active system that matches
application. For more contact: 02 9517

Safety Australia & New Zealand said: “The
Nano-Lok SRL’s are lighter and smaller
than competing products. The lightweight
design provides the ultimate comfort and
productivity, while still being able to protect
workers up to 140kgs.”
The SRL technology retains tension on the
lifeline at all times, keeping it out of the
worker’s way reducing dragging, snagging
and trip falls. The automatic activating
arrestor locks quickly to stop falls within
centimetres, reducing free fall distances and
providing more protection at lower heights.
It also features a 1.8m web lifeline for
added strength.
The new Nano-Lok SRL’s have multiple
anchorage options. The quick-connect
anchorage connector allows the SRL to be
attached directly to the back of most
harnesses without needing a separate
karabiner. Instead of being attached to
the D-ring, the SRL attaches around the
web, allowing the D-ring to be used for
other equipment or rescue. The cab-mount
anchorage connector allows the SRL to be
attached directly to the cab of an order
picker, while the swivelling loop provides a
full range of motion.
The SRL’s can also be arranged as a twin
leg SRL providing 100% tie-off capabilities
which can be used to replace twin-leg shock
absorbing lanyards. For more contact:
