Brand Spotlight: FallTech Fall Protection Equipment

Protecting workers at height requires equipment you can depend on. That is why Traffic Safety Store is proud to work with FallTech, a company focused specifically on fall protection and the equipment used to help keep workers safer on jobsites across the country. From construction and roofing to utilities, manufacturing, maintenance and confined space work, fall protection has become an increasingly important part of jobsite safety. FallTech develops an extensive range of equipment for workers exposed to fall hazards, including full-body harnesses, self-retracting lifelines, lanyards, anchorage connectors, horizontal lifelines, rescue equipment and complete fall protection systems. Traffic Safety Store now carries a broad selection of FallTech fall protection equipment, making it easier for contractors, safety managers and employers to find equipment designed for their specific applications.

Why Fall Protection Matters

Falls remain one of the most serious hazards facing workers, particularly in construction. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 389 of the 1,034 fatalities in private-sector construction during 2024 resulted from falls, slips and trips. OSHA continues to identify falls as the leading cause of fatalities in construction. Those numbers demonstrate why fall protection involves much more than simply purchasing a harness. A properly designed personal fall protection system can involve several components working together, including the worker’s harness, connecting device, anchorage and, when necessary, a rescue plan. OSHA encourages employers to plan for fall hazards, provide appropriate equipment and train workers to use that equipment correctly. Learn more from the OSHA Fall Prevention Campaign.

Fall Protection Is FallTech’s Specialty

One of the things we like most about FallTech is its focus. Fall protection isn’t simply one category within a huge product catalog—it is the company’s specialty. FallTech designs, tests and manufactures fall protection products and maintains an ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System as well as an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited test laboratory. The company also makes product testing information and Declarations of Conformity available to customers, helping safety professionals evaluate equipment for their particular applications. That specialized approach has resulted in a product line covering a wide variety of industries and working conditions—from straightforward construction applications to leading-edge work, electrical utilities, towers and confined spaces.

Explore FallTech Fall Protection Equipment

Traffic Safety Store carries FallTech products across many of the most important fall protection categories. Here are some of the primary components employers and safety professionals should be familiar with.

Fall Protection Harnesses

A full-body harness is one of the most recognizable components of a personal fall arrest system. Proper harness selection involves more than simply choosing a size. The application, connection points, hardware, worker fit and type of work being performed all matter. FallTech offers harnesses for a wide variety of users, including general contractors, ironworkers, tradespeople and workers requiring specialized equipment for electrical or arc-flash environments.

Self-Retracting Lifelines (SRLs)

Self-retracting lifelines, commonly referred to as SRLs, are an increasingly important part of modern fall protection systems. Unlike a conventional fixed-length connection, an SRL extends and retracts as a worker moves while helping minimize excess lifeline between the user and anchorage. FallTech offers a substantial range of SRLs for different applications, including personal harness-mounted units, overhead systems, twin-leg configurations for continuous tie-off, and Class 2 models designed for appropriate leading-edge and foot-level applications.

Fall Protection Lanyards

Lanyards remain a fundamental connecting component in many fall protection systems. Depending on the application, workers may require energy-absorbing lanyards, positioning equipment, restraint lanyards or twin-leg configurations. FallTech manufactures a variety of options designed to accommodate different jobsites, connection requirements and worker movement. Explore: Fall Protection Lanyards

Anchors and Anchorage Connectors

A fall protection system is only as effective as the anchorage selected for the application. Jobsites can present very different anchorage challenges depending on whether crews are working with structural steel, concrete, wood framing, roofing, scaffolding or parapet walls. FallTech produces numerous anchorage solutions, including reusable roof anchors, concrete anchors, beam anchors, scaffold/choker anchors and specialty anchorage connectors.

Horizontal Lifeline Systems

Some jobs require workers to travel horizontally across a larger work area while remaining connected to a fall protection system. A properly selected horizontal lifeline can provide a continuous anchorage solution for these applications. FallTech offers temporary horizontal lifeline systems designed for portability and use in a range of construction and industrial environments. Explore: Horizontal Lifeline Systems

Roofer Fall Protection Kits

Roofing crews face an obvious and persistent exposure to fall hazards. For many common roofing applications, a packaged system can simplify the process of assembling compatible components. FallTech roofer kits combine key fall protection components into convenient systems designed specifically for roofing work. Explore: Roofer Fall Protection Kits

Rescue and Descent Equipment

Fall protection planning should not end with arresting a fall. Employers must also consider what happens afterward. A worker suspended following a fall may need to be rescued quickly and safely. FallTech manufactures equipment for controlled descent and worksite rescue applications, providing employers with options for incorporating rescue capability into their overall fall protection program.

Confined Space Systems

Confined spaces introduce another layer of complexity. Manholes, tanks, vaults, utility structures and similar locations may require equipment for entry, retrieval and emergency rescue in addition to traditional fall protection. FallTech manufactures tripod systems, davit systems, winches, retrieval devices and other equipment intended for confined space applications. Explore: Confined Space Fall Protection Systems

Equipment for Many Different Industries

One reason FallTech is such a good fit for Traffic Safety Store customers is the range of industries where its equipment can be used. Fall protection requirements appear throughout the modern workplace, including:

• Commercial and residential construction
• Roofing
• Electrical and utility work
• Steel erection and ironwork
• Manufacturing facilities
• Warehouses and distribution centers
• Mechanical, electrical and plumbing trades
• Tower and telecommunications work
• Facility and building maintenance
• Confined space entry and rescue

Each environment creates different hazards, which is why employers should evaluate the complete fall protection system instead of selecting individual components in isolation.

Innovation in Fall Protection

The fall protection industry continues to evolve. Modern equipment is increasingly designed not only around arresting a fall, but also around worker mobility, comfort, reduced weight, leading-edge applications, specialized electrical hazards and easier integration with other personal protective equipment. FallTech’s current product portfolio includes technologies such as the FT-X®, FT-R®, CTX™, DuraTech® and FT-Iron® product families, along with specialized solutions for leading-edge, arc-flash, tower, utility and confined-space applications. For contractors and safety managers, these innovations provide more choices—but they also make correct equipment selection increasingly important.

Choosing the Right Fall Protection Equipment

There is no single fall protection system that is appropriate for every worker or every jobsite. Before selecting equipment, employers should evaluate factors including:

• The type of work being performed
• The height and potential fall distance
• Available anchorage locations
• Whether leading-edge exposure exists
• Required worker mobility
• Fall clearance below the worker
• Worker size and harness fit
• Environmental and electrical hazards
• Compatibility between system components
• Inspection and maintenance requirements
• The procedure for rescuing a worker after a fall

Workers must also receive the training required for their application and understand how to inspect, wear, connect and use their equipment correctly.
