The ProTec RX38 is a wire rope type permanent fall protection system for climbing fixed ladders or vertical structures. The system consists of galvanized top and bottom brackets, galvanized steel cable, an energy absorber integrated in the top bracket and a stainless steel cable fall arrester. Brackets are designed for ladder rungs but can be easily adapted to most structures. A stainless steel cable fall arrester with internal spring-loaded cam can be attached or removed from the cable at any point.
