This video gives you an in-depth look at the EZ-line retractable horizontal lifeline system. Watch to learn what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to inspect it.

Problem: Often times in the industry and during construction it can be hard to find a secure tie-off point when working at height - especially when you are needing to cover a larger workspace. Solution: EFP offers the DBI-SALA EZ L...ine as a portable, safe and effective tie-off point for two workers for up to a 60-foot length. The EZ Line can be installed between two anchors like a cross arm strap, beam clamp or any other anchor designed and certified to support fall arrest loads. These systems are used to protect workers operating in the horizontal plane who may not have continuous access to suitable anchorage points. EZ Line’s innovative retractable design allows the user to quickly and efficiently set up any length of system in only seconds and dismantle it just as quick. As a reminder, Engineered Fall Protection can offer solutions for most any fall protection application!
