Where the non-belted FT-Iron is built for straight fall arrest, this belted FT-Iron version adds a rugged waist belt and two additional D-rings so steel trade workers can position themselves at height, not just arrest a fall. The waist belt spreads the weight of a loaded tool belt evenly across the hips instead of pulling on the shoulders, and the same tri-layer padded shoulder yoke and ergonomic horizontal leg straps carry over from the rest of the FT-Iron line, keeping pinching down and mobility up. An updated SRL attachment point reduces fumbling when connecting to a single or twin self-retracting lifeline, and the ANSI-compliant lanyard keeper still accepts single- or double-leg lanyards. All three D-rings use a D-ring plate to resist slippage.

Key Features

• Three D-rings, including two hip D-rings for positioning while working at height
• Rugged waist belt distributes loaded tool weight evenly
• Reinforced sub-pelvic strap with a wear pad
• Tongue-buckle leg connectors with 9 grommeted adjustment points
• Quick-connect chest buckle with a visual green indicator to confirm proper connection
• Tri-layer padded shoulder yoke for shift-long relief
• Ergonomic horizontal leg straps reduce pinching and add maneuverability
• Updated SRL attachment point for quick connection to a single or twin self-retracting lifeline
• ANSI-compliant lanyard keeper accepts single- and double-leg lanyards
• D-ring plate on each connection point to help prevent slippage

Applications

• Ironworkers and steel-trade crews who need to position themselves at height, not just arrest a fall
• Jobs where a loaded tool belt needs to be carried comfortably for a full shift
• Work requiring connection to a self-retracting lifeline in addition to standard lanyards
• Construction sites where hip-level D-rings are needed for positioning tasks
• Crews who prefer a belted harness over a non-belted design for all-day tool carrying
