3M™ DBI-SALA® Lad-Saf™ X3 Detachable Cable Sleeve – 3/8 in. (9.5 mm)

The versatile system can be used by up to four workers simultaneously for added job site flexibility.

The Lad-Saf™ flexible cable system consists of a top and bottom bracket that act as anchors for a steel cable that runs the length of the climbing area. A Lad-Saf™ X3 sleeve connects the worker to the system, automatically follows the user during the climb and locks onto the cable in the event of a fall, allowing the user to regain their footing. Designed for ease of use, economy, versatility, optional brackets/designs are available for bolting or welding the system, choose rung clamp sizes/styles, choose systems for straight or curved ladders, and for connection to wood, concrete, or steel structures. Hundreds of different brackets, styles, configurations are available to suit almost any application.

Description

The 3M DBI-SALA Lad-Saf X3 Detachable Cable Sleeve is a trusted vertical fall protection solution for professionals working on towers, ladders, and other fixed structures. Specifically designed for 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) galvanized or stainless steel cable systems, this sleeve provides smooth operation during ascent and descent — while automatically locking in the event of a fall.

It has built-in redundancy and fall-arrest energy absorption, the Lad-Saf™ X3 is engineered to minimize fall forces and reduce injury risks. The detachable design allows workers to easily install or remove the sleeve anywhere along the lifeline, providing greater flexibility when transitioning between work zones or system points.

Have you ever found your cable sleeve clunky or difficult to manage during a climb? Would you rather work with a device that travels fluidly while still offering rock-solid stopping power in a fall? The X3 delivers on both fronts. Its dual-locking cam mechanism ensures instant response under tension, while remaining easy to inspect and maintain.

This product meets or exceeds OSHA 1910.140 and ANSI Z359.15 standards for fall protection. That means you’re not only getting quality, but compliance — a crucial factor when managing high-angle jobsite safety.
