      Ridgegear – RGA9 DEF Defender Fall Arrest Block 9m

      The RIDGEGEAR RGA9 DEF from the Defender range is a 9-metre fall arrest block designed to offer dependable height safety in a lightweight, compact form. Built for smooth and efficient operation, this device combines essential fall protection features with a sleek and portable design—perfect for regular use in construction, utilities, maintenance, and general work-at-height applications.

      The RGA9 DEF features a galvanised steel wire rope that delivers robust, consistent fall arrest capability. The RGA9 DEF is fitted with an aluminium swivel hook that includes an integrated fall indicator, allowing users to quickly identify whether the block has been involved in a fall and requires inspection.
