Lad-Saf DBI-SALA 3M vertical cable safety system 6100219, 2 users, galvanized, 20 ft

3M purchase code: 7100292449, model: 6100219

The Lad-Saf DBI-SALA 3M vertical cable safety system 6100219 is a galvanized steel vertical lifeline designed for two users on a fixed ladder. It ships as a single SKU that includes the top and bottom brackets, the pre-swaged cable and the cable guides. The 9.5 mm (3/8 in) swaged steel cable, 1 x 7 version, measures 6.1 m (20 ft) and connects to the worker through a Lad-Saf detachable cable sleeve, which automatically follows the climb and locks onto the cable in the event of a fall.

Redesigned to simplify and speed up installation, this system uses fewer than 13 separate components, up to 72% fewer loose parts than the previous comparable model. Lighter than earlier generations, it features an integrated fall arrest anchor point rated at 1,633 kg (3,600 lb) on the top bracket. The mounting brackets adapt to a variety of fixed ladders depending on rung spacing and shape.

Designed to meet the requirements of ANSI Z359.16 and OSHA 1910.140 and 1926.502 when used with the X3 or X2 detachable cable sleeve, this system is a complete solution for safe vertical access. A pre-programmed RFID tag with 3M Connected Safety ID simplifies equipment tracking and management.

How a vertical cable system works

A vertical cable system installs a tensioned lifeline over the full height of a fixed ladder or structure. The top and bottom brackets anchor the steel cable, which runs the length of the climbing area. The detachable cable sleeve connects the worker's harness to the cable, follows their movement during the climb and locks automatically onto the cable in the event of a fall, letting the user regain footing. The cable guides keep the lifeline aligned and reduce sway.

Worksites and industries

• Vertical access on fixed ladders and telecommunication towers
• Construction, general industry, oil and gas
• Roof access via fixed ladder and roof hatch
• Maintenance of elevated structures, silos and tanks

Vertical system inspection

Before each use, inspect the brackets, cable, guides, swaged termination and integrated anchor point. Check for corrosion, deformation, broken cable strands or loose fasteners. Any damaged component or one that has arrested a fall must be removed from service. A formal inspection by a competent person other than the user is required at least once a year, per 3M manufacturer instructions and applicable provincial regulations. See our services to learn more.

Fall arrest system maintenance

Clean the cable and brackets with water and mild soap, then air dry. Protect the galvanized steel against corrosion and store the components in a clean, dry place. Do not modify the brackets or the cable termination. Follow the 3M user manual instructions for maintenance frequency and method.

Strength requirements

The integrated fall arrest anchor point on the top bracket offers a capacity of 3,600 lb (1,633 kg). Installation, structural anchoring and overall system capacity must be validated per applicable provincial regulations by a competent person or engineer. Never exceed the intended number of users or modify the original configuration.

Complementary fall protection equipment suggestions

The utility lineman works on poles and fixed ladders exposed to the weather, often at great height. A wrong move or unsuitable equipment is enough to turn a routine climb into a serious fall. On this type of job site, he wears his full personal protective equipment: a Class L sternal-D-ring safety harness (FPH140321XXCALP) that keeps him facing the ladder, cut-resistant gloves (GS13GDSTL), safety glasses (YA12E93101), a protective helmet (TA82) held by its chin strap (TA14CS), a high-visibility garment (V136F) and hearing protection, earmuffs (OPH6B).

To build the complete vertical fall arrest system, pair this product with the other components of the Lad-Saf range: the Lad-Saf X3 sleeve (FPA5000338); a flexible lifeline counterweight (FPA5901583); a stainless-steel pole cable guide (FPA6100136); the system instructions and label plate (FPA6100252); an intermediate galvanized or stainless cable guide; an intermediate galvanized pole cable guide (FPA6100430); and an end-of-line cable guide. Also plan a RollGliss R550 rescue and descent device (FPLR5503325) for controlled descent, and mark off the area at the base of the structure with a DANGER barricade tape (ECT3RE9).
