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.
