The DEWALT D200 18-Foot Self Retracting Lifeline - Leading Edge is built for worksites where overhead anchorage is not available, allowing secure connection anywhere from foot level up to above the dorsal D-ring so workers stay protected even when conventional anchor points are out of reach. The 7/32" galvanized steel cable lifeline resists sharp-edge contact and corrosion, while the energy absorber at the harness end and high impact strength polymer housing deliver rugged, dependable performance across a wide range of commercial and industrial fall protection applications. Rated to ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 2 and compliant with OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.66, this anchor-mounted leading edge SRL is a verified, code-compliant choice for regulated job sites where standard retractable lifelines cannot be used safely.

Key Features

• Leading Edge Rated at ANSI 310 lbs. (141 kg) and OSHA 420 lbs. (191 kg): Specifically rated for leading edge work when anchored at or above the dorsal D-ring, this SRL is engineered for situations where the lifeline may contact sharp structural edges and standard SRLs are not a safe option - giving buyers a code-compliant solution for demanding worksites.
• 7/32" (5.56 mm) Galvanized Steel Cable Lifeline: The galvanized steel cable withstands contact with sharp edges and resists corrosion in harsh job site conditions, extending the working life of the lifeline where other cable materials would wear prematurely.
• Foot-Level to Above D-Ring Anchorage Flexibility: Secure anchorage from foot level all the way up to above the dorsal D-ring means safety managers and workers are not limited to a single anchor height, providing practical versatility across a wide variety of working conditions where overhead anchor points are unavailable.
• High Impact Strength Polymer Housing with Recessed Labels: The rugged polymer shell shields internal components from impact and harsh environments on the job site, while recessed labels resist abrasion so critical safety information stays legible throughout the product's working life.
• Lightweight Design at Only 9.25 lbs. (4.20 kg): At just 9.25 lbs. (4.20 kg), this compact SRL reduces the physical burden on workers during extended tasks, allowing greater freedom of movement and less fatigue compared to heavier fall protection options.
• 3,600 lb. (16kN) Rated Gate Connectors at Both Ends: Both the anchor-end carabiner and the harness-end snap hook are rated to 3,600 lb. (16kN), delivering high-strength, dependable connection points at every critical interface in the fall arrest system so no link in the chain is a weak point.
• ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 2 and OSHA 1926.502 / 1910.66 Compliant: Meeting current ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 2 requirements alongside OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.66 standards means this SRL is verified for use on regulated job sites without added compliance concerns or extra documentation burdens.
• Tagline Included in the Package: A tagline is included with the unit, so the SRL is deployment-ready straight out of the box without requiring a separate purchase - saving time and reducing setup steps on the job site.

Why This Product

• Solves the Leading Edge Anchorage Problem: When the only available anchor point is at foot level or below the dorsal D-ring, most standard SRLs cannot be safely used. This DEWALT D200 is specifically engineered and rated for exactly that scenario, making it the right tool where conventional retractable lifelines fall short.
• Protects Against Sharp Edge Hazards: The 7/32" (5.56 mm) galvanized steel cable is built to handle contact with sharp structural edges without compromising lifeline integrity - a practical necessity on leading edge applications like steel erection, roofing, and structural work where cable abrasion is a real risk.
• Anchor-Mounted Design With Energy Absorber at the Harness End: Positioning the energy absorber at the harness end rather than the anchor end is a deliberate design choice for leading edge use, helping to manage fall arrest forces effectively even when anchorage is at or near foot level.
• Ready for the Job Site Out of the Box: The package includes both the self retracting lifeline and an anchorage adapter, plus a tagline, so workers and safety coordinators have everything needed to deploy the system immediately - backed by a 2-year warranty for added confidence in the investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this SRL suitable for leading edge applications?

Standard self retracting lifelines are not designed for use where the cable may contact a sharp edge during a fall. The DEWALT D200 is specifically rated as a leading edge SRL - its 7/32" galvanized steel cable is built to withstand contact with sharp structural edges, and the energy absorber at the harness end reduces arrest forces on the worker. It meets ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 2 and OSHA 1926.502 standards for this type of application.

Can this SRL be anchored at foot level?

Yes. The DEWALT D200 D200 Leading Edge SRL is designed to allow secure anchorage from above the dorsal D-ring all the way down to foot level. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide variety of working conditions where traditional overhead anchorage is not available. OSHA capacity is rated at 420 lbs. (191 kg) when anchored at or above the dorsal D-ring.

What type of connectors are included on this unit?

The anchor end uses a 3,600 lb. (16kN) gate steel carabiner (galvanized alloy steel with golden yellow/silver passivation), and the harness end uses a 3,600 lb. (16kN) gate steel snap hook of the same material and finish. Both connectors are rated for the forces generated during a leading edge fall arrest event.

What warranty does this DEWALT SRL carry?

The DEWALT DXFP210221-018 Self Retracting Lifeline is covered by a 2-year warranty.
