Edelrid Ombilix 140 Fall Arrester

Edelrid Ombilix 140 Fall Arrester

The Edelrid Ombilix 140 Fall Arrester is a guided type fall arrester to EN 353-2 with the shock absorber already built in. That absorber is rated to a high load capacity of 140 kg, and the whole unit stays compact enough to move smoothly with you during an ascent.

Features and Benefits

Buying the absorber as part of the system removes a decision point. There is no separate energy absorber to specify, attach and then check for compatibility, because the 160 cm extension is designed around this device and this rope from the start.

Additionally, the Ombilix ships with its connectors rather than expecting you to source them. A DSG Triton carabiner with a palm squeeze mechanism handles the anchor end, and an Oval Power 2500 with a triple lock closure attaches to the harness.

Furthermore, the kernmantle rope is replaceable. A guided fall arrester usually dies when its line wears out, so a serviceable rope meaningfully extends the working life of the device rather than the other way round.

Edge testing to RFU 11.075 authorises horizontal use, and EN 358 certification adds restraint and work positioning to the scope. Versions from 10 m up include a storage bag.

Product-Specific Use Cases

This Edelrid Ombilix 140 Fall Arrester is work at height equipment for ladders, fixed structures, towers and roof work where a vertical anchor line is the safety system. Horizontal approval means it stays in scope when the work moves across a roof rather than straight up a mast. It suits utility, telecom, facade and industrial maintenance crews, and rescue teams needing a compact guided backup.
