Super Anchor Safety 3004 MAX Force Energy Absorbers – Snaphook & Mechanical Grab

Built for vertical lifeline work where dependable arrest and fast positioning matter, this MAX Force energy absorber pairs a compact, pack-style tear-away unit with a double-locking snaphook and a mechanical rope grab. The setup delivers controlled arrest forces during a fall while giving you smooth, precise movement on the lifeline. Tough webbing, a protective pack cover, and clear labeling make inspections quick and keep your kit in service longer.

Q Question: What do the MAX Force absorber and mechanical rope grab do together?
A: The pack-style absorber limits maximum arrest force during a fall, while the mechanical grab provides smooth travel and positive locking on a compatible vertical lifeline for controlled, dependable fall protection.

Q Question: What rope type and diameter should I use, and how do I orient the grab?
A: Use a compatible synthetic vertical lifeline, typically around 5/8 in (16 mm)—always verify the exact size on the product label/manual. Install with the “UP” arrow toward the anchorage and keep slack to a minimum so the grab can lock correctly.

Q Question: Is it okay for tie-back, horizontal lifelines, or leading-edge work?
A: No. Do not tie back to the lanyard/webbing unless specifically rated for tie-back (this assembly is not). It’s intended for vertical lifelines—not horizontal lifelines or leading-edge applications—and sharp edges must be avoided/protected.

Q Question: Can I reuse it after a fall, and what inspection steps are required?
A: If a fall is suspected or the tear indicator shows deployment, remove from service and replace. Before each use, inspect webbing, stitching, labels, absorber pack, and the grab’s cam/axle and plates for wear, deformation, corrosion, or sticking; perform periodic competent-person inspections per your program.
