The device automatically takes up the slack in the strap, keeping it out of the way while minimizing the free fall distance, should a fall occur. In the event of a fall, the sudden jerk in the strap will activate the centrifugal locking mechanism, arresting the fall within less than 40 in. (1 m).Very lightweight and easy to handle, the blocfor® B20 features an ergonomic design with corrosion resistant components. In the event of a fall, the drum is locked by a single pawl which engages in a ratchet wheel under the effect of the centrifugal force caused by the acceleration of the falling weight attached to the web lifeline.
