cofra badger lock retractable

Advanced fall protection for demanding professionals

The Cofra Badger Lock Retractable has been developed to provide effective, durable, and comfortable protection against the risk of falling from height. Part of Cofra’s Dampermax Pro range, this device combines state-of-the-art fall-arrest technology with high-quality materials, ensuring safe operation on every use.

With a length of 2.25 metres and a total weight of 1,156 g, the Badger Lock is a retractable device with an integrated energy absorber, specifically designed for vertical tasks and industrial maintenance where safety and reliability are essential.

Rugged build and high-performance materials

The retractable body is made of reinforced polypropylene, delivering excellent resistance to impacts, abrasion, and adverse environmental conditions.

The polyester webbing (48 mm wide) offers a minimum strength of 15 kN, providing excellent energy management in the event of a fall. Its flexible, durable construction ensures smooth movement with no twisting or tangling thanks to the SWIVEL anti-twist system, a key feature that extends service life and improves work ergonomics.

Certified connection components

The galvanised steel base connector is designed for maximum mechanical resistance and complies with EN 362.

• Opening: 18 mm

• Safety lock: screw-gate (SCREW) with safety ring

• Minimum strength: 25 kN

These values guarantee a secure, stable connection to anchorage points, even under high loads or sudden movements.

Standards compliance and technical reliability

The Cofra Badger Lock meets the most demanding European standards for occupational safety:

• EN 355:2002 → Energy absorbers.

• EN 360:2002 → Retractable type fall arresters.

These certifications endorse its use in industry, construction, maintenance, logistics, and energy, where fall-arrest systems are critical.

In addition, the design incorporates a high-precision automatic locking mechanism that reacts instantly to acceleration or a fall, minimising arrest distance and the impact transferred to the user’s body.

Ergonomics, durability, and confidence

Its compact, lightweight design makes transport, installation, and daily use straightforward and comfortable. Ergonomics ensure ample freedom of movement, while steel components and technical polyester offer long-lasting resistance to wear, humidity, and UV exposure.

These features make it especially valued by professionals in:

• Construction and civil works

• Industrial and facilities maintenance

• Wind and solar energy

• Telecommunications and tower work

• Municipal services and high-level cleaning
