Vaultex RFA100 ICV 7.5 Mtr Wire Rope Handle Carry Retractable Fall Arrester

Key specs: weight capacity 100 kg; EN 360:2002 safety standard; maximum working length 7.50 meters; rope strength 25 kN; housing material polyamide with a black finish; components include stainless steel rope, karabiner, and snap hook.

The package includes the retractable fall arrester itself, a stainless steel rope, a karabiner, and a snap hook, all housed in a durable polyamide casing with a sleek black finish.

Steps: (1) select a structurally sound anchor point rated for fall protection. (2) attach the arrester to the anchor using the supplied karabiner. (3) connect your full-body harness to an appropriate D‑ring. (4) route the rope and ensure it moves freely. (5) perform a low-risk pull test to confirm the mechanism engages smoothly. (6) while working, keep the rope aligned and avoid sharp edges that could wear it. Regularly inspect before use.

EN 360:2002 is a European safety standard for retractable fall arresters. Compliance indicates the device has been tested for safe operation, controlled deceleration, and reliable locking functionality to reduce fall impact and protect the user when used with a compatible harness and anchor.

Ideal for construction, facility maintenance, building inspections, telecom and wind/solar installations, roof work, and any task requiring movement along a vertical or slightly inclined surface where a secure fall protection system is needed with up to 7.5 m of reach.

Compared to wider options, the RFA100 offers a 7.5 m working length and 100 kg weight capacity with EN 360:2002 compliance, making it suited for mid-range heights and load. For shorter reach, see the Vaultex RFA50 ICV 5m; for longer reach, see the Vaultex RFA150 ICV 10m.

Perform a pre-use inspection: check the housing for cracks or wear, inspect the rope for fraying or corrosion, confirm the locking mechanism engages smoothly, and verify the karabiner and snap hook show no deformation. Clean with a damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. Replace any damaged components immediately.

Wear a properly fitted full-body harness, attach to a certified anchor point, ensure the anchor and rope are free from sharp edges, keep the rope path clear of obstructions, never exceed the 100 kg weight limit, and receive proper height-safety training before use.

Yes. Use a harness with a dorsal D-ring or other compatible attachment point and connect to a structurally sound anchor point rated for fall protection. Ensure both the harness and anchor are compatible with the supplied karabiner and ring sizes, and follow the manufacturer’s guidance for maximum load and certification.

Yes, when you need EN 360:2002-compliant protection with a 7.5 m reach and 100 kg capacity in a compact polyamide housing, it provides solid safety features (stainless steel rope, durable hardware) suitable for mid-length height-work tasks at a competitive price on Fepy.

Under normal use and proper maintenance, the stainless steel rope and housing are designed for long service life. Regular inspections are essential; replace the rope or housing if there are signs of wear, corrosion, or deformation. Follow manufacturer guidance on service life and replacement intervals.
