A 20M Retractable Fall Arrester Longer work areas need a fall-protection system that gives workers enough freedom to move without leaving excessive slack in the lifeline. A retractable wire-rope block automatically controls the cable length as the user moves, making it practical for large industrial structures, construction sites and maintenance areas.

TPGS20(112_162)(ME) is a 20M Retractable Fall Arrester equipped with a 20 metre galvanized steel wire rope, durable plastic casing, PN112 at the anchorage end, and a PN162 swivel snap hook with load indicator at the attachment end.

KARAM confirms that TPGS20 uses a 4.5 mm galvanized steel wire rope, provides a 20 m working length, and has a static strength of 12 kN for 3 minutes. The manufacturer also lists the model to EN 360:2023 and ATEX 2014/34/EU.

Nassguard supplies the 20M Retractable Fall Arrester across Qatar and Doha for construction, oil and gas, industrial maintenance, infrastructure, utilities and other professional work-at-height applications.

What is TPGS20 20M Retractable Fall Arrester?

TPGS20 is a long-range Wire Rope Fall Arrester designed to provide automatic lifeline control during work at height. Inside the block, the galvanized wire rope sits on a retracting reel. When the worker moves away from the anchorage point, the cable extends according to the required working distance. As the worker moves back toward the block, the internal mechanism automatically retrieves the excess wire rope. This helps keep the lifeline relatively taut and reduces loose cable around the work area.

If sudden downward acceleration occurs, the internal braking mechanism locks the cable. This enables the device to arrest the worker’s fall within the performance limits of the complete fall-protection system. The 20 metre working range makes TPGS20 particularly useful when shorter 6 m, 10 m or 15 m blocks cannot provide enough movement.
