MicroBeast EDGE Series SRL-P Twin Retractable Web with Rebar Hook

MicroBeast EDGE Series SRL-P Twin Retractable Web with Rebar Hook — Lightest Class 2 SRL-P in Its Range

The MicroBeast EDGE Series SRL-P is a 6' twin self-retracting lifeline designed for construction professionals working at height where rebar anchor points are the primary tie-off option. Built around a lightweight plastic housing with an external shock absorber and Technora webbing, this Class 2 SRL-P is engineered for leading-edge and general fall arrest applications. The twin-leg configuration connects via the included SRL170 dual-leg converter, allowing a single dorsal D-ring connection while maintaining continuous 100% tie-off. It conforms to ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 2 SRL-P and supports a maximum working capacity of 310 lbs.

Technical Specifications

Vital Test Compliance

The MicroBeast EDGE Series is marketed as the lightest available SRL in its range and class, making it a practical choice for contractors who carry their fall protection equipment throughout a full shift. Unlike standard SRLs that require separate leading-edge-rated equipment, the Class 2 SRL-P rating means this unit is tested and rated for leading-edge use, reducing the need for multiple SKUs on the jobsite. The steel rebar hook provides a direct, tool-free connection to rebar anchor points common in concrete and structural steel work.

Key Features & Benefits

Lightest Available SRL in Its Range and Class

At 3.6 lbs. per SRL unit, the MicroBeast EDGE is designed to minimize fatigue for workers who wear fall protection throughout the day. Reduced unit weight translates directly to less cumulative strain over a full shift, particularly for ironworkers and concrete crews moving frequently between anchor points.

Technora Webbing with External Energy Absorber

Technora webbing at 13/16" width delivers a minimum breaking strength of 4,500 lbs., providing a substantial safety margin above the 3,000 lb. SRL minimum. The external shock absorber is visible and inspectable, allowing workers to quickly confirm the absorber has not deployed before each use.

Steel Rebar Hook (2-1/4")

The 2-1/4" steel rebar hook at the attachment end is purpose-built for connecting directly to rebar anchor points without adapters. This is a critical feature for concrete construction and structural work where rebar is the most readily available anchor.

Robust and Durable Lightweight Plastic Housing

The plastic casting is engineered to be both lightweight and durable, resisting the impacts and abrasion common on active construction sites. A lighter housing reduces total system weight without sacrificing the structural integrity needed for repeated daily use.

Twin-Leg Configuration with SRL170 Connector

The twin-leg design allows continuous 100% tie-off when transitioning between anchor points — a requirement on many jobsites and in many fall protection programs. The SRL170 dual-leg converter consolidates both legs to a single dorsal D-ring connection, simplifying harness integration.

ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 2 SRL-P Compliance

Class 2 SRL-P certification means this unit is tested and rated for use at leading edges, where the lifeline may contact a sharp or abrasive surface during a fall event. This rating is required by many project specifications and safety programs for work near unprotected edges.

Common Applications

Leading-Edge Work

The Class 2 SRL-P rating makes this unit appropriate for use at leading edges where the lifeline could contact the edge during a fall, a scenario that standard SRLs are not rated to handle.

Concrete Construction with Rebar Anchors

The 2-1/4" steel rebar hook connects directly to rebar anchor points, making this SRL a natural fit for concrete forming, rebar placement, and elevated slab work where rebar is the primary available anchor.

Structural Steel Erection

Ironworkers and structural steel crews benefit from the lightweight housing and rebar hook when working on elevated steel structures where anchor options may be limited to rebar or similar profiles.

General Overhead Anchor Point Applications

When an overhead anchor point is available, this SRL provides standard retractable fall arrest protection. The included 1/2" carabiner allows connection to a variety of anchor hardware.

Applications Where Anchor Is Below Dorsal D-Ring

Per the manufacturer's application guidance, when an overhead anchor is unavailable, the recommended anchor point should be no greater than 2' below the dorsal D-ring. When the anchor point is greater than 2' below the dorsal D-ring, a leading-edge-rated SRL should be used.

Compatible Materials

• Rebar (primary anchor interface via 2-1/4" steel rebar hook)
• Anchor hardware compatible with 1/2" carabiner (included)
• Standard dorsal D-ring harness attachment points (via SRL170 dual-leg converter)

Application Instructions

Anchor Point Selection

1. Always use an overhead anchor point when one is available.
2. When an overhead anchor point is unavailable, select an anchor point no greater than 2' below the dorsal D-ring.
3. When the available anchor point is greater than 2' below the dorsal D-ring, use a Palmer Safety Leading Edge SRL instead.

SRL170 Dual Leg Converter Installation

1. Follow the SRL170 Quick Installation Guide (Step 1, Step 2, Step 3) as detailed in the installation document linked above.
2. Connect both SRL legs to the SRL170 converter before attaching to the dorsal D-ring of the harness.
3. Verify all connections are fully engaged and gates are locked before beginning work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does Class 2 SRL-P mean, and why does it matter?
A: Class 2 SRL-P indicates the unit is tested and rated for use at leading edges, where the lifeline may contact a sharp or abrasive edge during a fall. This is a more demanding rating than standard SRLs and is required for work near unprotected edges on many project specifications. This unit conforms to ANSI Z359.14-2021 Class 2 SRL-P.

Q: What is the maximum weight capacity?
A: The maximum weight capacity is 310 lbs., which includes the worker, clothing, tools, and all equipment.

Q: What is the total system weight when using both SRLs with the SRL170 connector?
A: The total weight is 7.6 lbs. with the SRL170 connector included. Each individual SRL weighs 3.6 lbs.

Q: Can this SRL be used when the anchor point is below my dorsal D-ring?
A: The manufacturer states that when an overhead anchor is unavailable, the anchor point should be no greater than 2' below the dorsal D-ring. If the anchor point is more than 2' below the dorsal D-ring, a leading-edge-rated SRL designed for that configuration should be used.

Q: What type of webbing is used, and what is its breaking strength?
A: The SRL uses Technora webbing at 13/16" width with a minimum breaking strength of 4,500 lbs.

Q: Is a carabiner included with the unit?
A: Yes, a 1/2" carabiner is included with each unit.
