FallTech’s Contractor+ family of harness has been updated

FallTech
February 14, 2017

FallTech®, an innovator in fall protection products, announces an update to the Contractor+ family of harnesses. “The updates to the Contractor+ are a result from the feedback we captured from users of the prior version of the Contractor harness”, said Shatiana Griffin, Marketing Specialist for FallTech.   

The Contractor+ family of harnesses now offers a more supportive, secure and sturdy fit while adding functional elements for all day comfort to meet the demanding needs of workers.    

Upgrades to the Contractor+ family of full body harnesses include;

  • New chest slides with integrated lanyard keepers provide a lower profile and easier attachment points for lanyard connectors.
  • A stiffer waist belt improves longevity.
  • The waist pad now include belt loops and is sewn into the torso straps keeping the waist pad from slipping.  
  • An improved, stiffer waist pad that supports heavy tool bag loads.
  • Increased padding offers superior internal reinforcement to allow better D-ring positioning combined with improved comfort and usability.
  • Along with the improvements, the Contractor+ still offers the features this family of harnesses has been known for; including:
  • Breathable padded air mesh Shoulder Yoke with non-slip Dorsal D-ring Adjustment.
  • Paired single loop dual-fastening lanyard keepers.
  • Low-profile spring-tension torso adjusters.
  • 5.5” torso-sewn waist support positioning pad for Construction Belted harnesses.
  • Mating buckle chest closure with either mating buckle or tongue buckle leg closure options.
  • Available in standard non-belted and construction belted models.

The design of the updated Contractor+ family of harnesses provides an affordable harness with the durability required for day-to-day use with exceptional fall protection qualities and complies with all applicable ANSI and OSHA standards.   

For more information on the FallTech Contractor+ family of harnesses, go to www.FallTech.com; contact FallTech at 800.719.4619 or contact your nearest FallTech distributor.
