Checkmate FABX1 Self-Retracting Lifelines provide extreme confidence by utilising superior technology and craftsmanship in each unit to ensure that the user has maximum safety while working at height. The computer-calibrated and serialised digital braking technology is unparalleled, with each brake’s torque setting being individually set for optimum performance. The locking mechanism is designed to prevent nuisance lockups for increased productivity and automatically engages in the event of a fall while simultaneously activating an impact indicator to verify a fall has occurred.

The FABX1 housing is made of a tough polymer with recessed areas and smooth contours to protect labels and reduce size without compromising functionality. The unique shape of the lightweight thermoplastic housing provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio for ease of installation. This combination of high performance materials and a fully engineered design keeps the FABX1 both lightweight and durable.

Load Bearing Steel Chassis

The internal hot rolled steel chassis provides a structural metallic core beneath the external protective housing.

BCS Brush Cleaning System

The entry aperture has a pair of opposing brushes to minimise take up of debris into the device.

Carry Handle Attachments

Optional shoulder strap and carrying handle are available which can be easily fitted by the user.

Sealed Brake Module

The Brake Module is sealed by the use of “O” rings which stops water or dust ingress affecting the brake's efficiency.
