Designed for maximum safety and climbing efficiency, the Söll VR670 GlideLoc Fall Arrester by Honeywell is a premium vertical mobility solution engineered for use with Söll GlideLoc rail systems. Built with industrial-grade aluminum, stainless steel, and polymer, this fall arrester combines robust durability with ergonomic design to deliver seamless performance in even the harshest environments. Whether ascending telecom towers, industrial ladders, or wind turbines, the VR670 offers enhanced fall protection with minimal effort.

This self-trailing shuttle features a triple-action, self-locking carabiner, a visual fall indicator for immediate post-fall checks, and anti-panic locking to automatically arrest falls. It ensures a smooth climb while reducing maintenance costs through its durable, non-textile stainless-steel shock absorber. Fully compatible with all GlideLoc guide rails installed since 1982, this unit is trusted across industries where safety and system longevity are non-negotiable.

Key Features

Crafted with a lightweight aluminum alloy housing, the VR670 provides effortless vertical mobility while withstanding extreme operating conditions from –40 °C to +70 °C. The stainless steel shock absorber extends service life and resists corrosion in outdoor or industrial applications. The integrated anti-panic mechanism ensures automatic fall arrest even in incorrect usage scenarios, adding an extra layer of protection. The triple-action, self-locking carabiner allows secure connection, while the visual fall indicator enables instant inspection after deployment. Designed to be inserted or removed at any point on the rail, the unit improves productivity without compromising user safety.

Intended Use

The Söll VR670 fall arrester is ideal for workers climbing fixed ladders in sectors such as utilities, construction, telecommunications, renewable energy, and heavy industry. Suitable for both experienced and novice climbers, it complies with ANSI, CSA, and EN standards, making it a reliable choice for international fall protection programs. Its compatibility with all GlideLoc rails installed since 1982 ensures flexible integration across existing infrastructure.
