Why ReThink ReLoad?
RELOAD™ | PREMIUM SELF-RETRACTING LANYARD |
3M has combined innovative engineering,
superior materials and futuristic design
with quick and easy recertifi cation to
provide the most advanced range of
self-retracting lanyards (SRLs) on the
market. The ReLoad™ SRL has been
developed with a number of unique
features to provide a smarter, safer and
stronger alternative to traditional SRLs.
3M™ RELOAD™ SELF-RETRACTING
LANYARDS FEATURES
PATENTED FRICTIONLESS
BRAKING SYSTEM
• A frictionless braking system with no
moving parts to go out of adjustment
• Individual components can be
removed and replaced in minutes due to
modular design. Repairs to be performed
on site by a trained technician.
• Components need only visual inspection,
not mechanical testing
100% RELIABLE LOCKING MECHANISM
• Constantly moving, the 100% reliable Full
Contact™ locking mechanism “clicks” to reassure
the user it’s functioning correctly
• Cannot freeze, hang up or corrode
• No wet lubrication to attract dirt and debris
• Stainless steel components unaffected by
water, contaminants, temperature and time
IMPACT RESISTANT CASING
The 3M™ ReLoad™ self-retracting
lanyard range is encased in an impact
modifi ed nylon housing, which is
designed to help protect the chassis
inside. This purely acts as armor – no
critical components form part of the
casing, meaning that even in the
event of severe damage, it can be
easily replaced.
MEETS GLOBAL
INDUSTRY STANDARDS
• ANSI Z359.14-2012
• OSHA 1910.66
• OSHA 1926.502
• CSA Z259.2.2-98
COMPLETELY FIELD SERVICEABLE
Wherever the ReLoad™ SRL is in service, full inspection can be undertaken quickly
and easily, enabling complete fi eld serviceability, performed on site by a trained
technician – a totally unique range in the market. The entire range has been
developed in a modular fashion to enable simple key component replacement, so
parts can be replaced in a matter of minutes, and the unit doesn’t require costly
“return to factory” servicing (service charge, labor and downtime). Replacement
components available through your 3M representative include (but are not limited to):
• Cable Assembly • Energy Absorber • Labels • Cases

With years of fall protection experience,
3M has developed the Sealed ReLoad™
Self-Retracting Lanyard (SRL) – a completely
fi eld serviceable sealed SRL. The Sealed
ReLoad™ SRL range offers a dependable
means of fall protection and has been
specifi cally designed for use in harsh
environments such as steel mills, oil rigs,
wind turbines and other applications enabling
an unhindered, hands-free fall protection
solution. Utilizing modern engineering and
innovative design, it’s one of the most
advanced, reliable and cost-effective SRLs
available on the market today.
SEALED RELOAD™ | PREMIUM SELF-RETRACTING LANYARD |
PROTECTIVE SEAL
Critical components are
sealed from the external
environment by a series of
rubber gaskets, providing
improved resistance to
corrosion. The protective
seal provides an ingress
protection (IP) rating
of 69K, which is the
highest rating on the
ingress protection scale.
100% FULL CONTACT
LOCKING MECHANISM
The full contact pawl locking mechanism
provides 100% reliable locking pawls that
won’t freeze, hang up or corrode. The
advanced pawl technology allows a user to
both hear and feel the mechanism working
and therefore reassures them the system is
in good working order.
A built-in reserve line ensures that a fall is
arrested safely even when the cable is fully
extended. The unique carrying handle has
been tested for use as a secondary retention
point, and additional back-up connection.
ACCELERATED CORROSION TESTING
Accelerated corrosion testing has been performed that
simulates real life corrosion in a controlled environment for
2,000 hours. This is a recognized representative period of
10 years “real life” use of the Sealed ReLoad™ SRL.

COMPLETELY FIELD SERVICEABLE*
The 3M™ Sealed ReLoad™ SRL allows for common repairs to be performed on
site by a trained technician. Should a fall occur, the modular design makes it
easy for individual components to be removed and replaced in the fi eld within
minutes – allowing quick and easy servicing of not only the cable, but also the
absorber. The Sealed ReLoad™ Retractable Lanyard reduces costs incurred
during product maintenance, including labor, shipping and product downtime.
3M can provide training that enables personnel to inspect and maintain Sealed
ReLoad™ units on site. Call your 3M Representative for more information.
EN 360:2002 Clause/Test EN 360:2002 Requirement Result/Comment Pass/Fail
4.7 Corrosion Resistance
EN 364-1992 Clause 5.13.
No corrosion to be evident that could
affect the function of the device (white
scaling or tarnishing is acceptable).
Evidence of light white scaling present on external surfaces.
Evidence of slight red discoloration around attachment
bolts only. No visual evidence of rust present.
PASS
Tested operational temperature range: -30ºC to +54ºC (-22ºF to +129ºF).
Further testing conducted: Cyclic testing – SRL cable fully extended and
retracted 20,000 times (with component inspection of pawls & tooth disc for
wear) ensuring consistent performance from fi rst to last test.
Note: EN 360:2002 Clause 4.7 requires that the device be subject to 24 hours
neutral salt spray exposure. However, to demonstrate the robustness of the
product, the exposure time was increased to 2,000 hours, after which the device
was found to fulfi ll the requirements of Clause 4.7.
TESTING
The 3M Sealed SRL was subjected to 2,000 hours of salt spray
exposure which far exceeds any test requirement by current
environmental standards. The test demonstrates the durability of the
3M Sealed SRL. A sample of the 3M Sealed SRL was independently
tested for 2,000 hours corrosion resistance by SATRA Technology.

TEST CONDITIONS
• Corrosion test in accordance with ISO 9227:1990 –

• Temperature: 35ºC (95ºF)
• Fallout rate: approximately 1.2 ml/hr (0.07 cubic in/hr)
(average over total exposure time)
• pH of test solution: approximately 6.7

• Sample was removed and examined for damage periodically
throughout exposure and after complete exposure time
• Total exposure time: 2,000 hours
