SMT Series Professional Full Body Safety Harness The SMT Series provides a tiered safety solution for at-height operations, ranging from basic work restraint to advanced, high mobility fall arrest. Engineered from high tenacity polyester, these harnesses are designed to meet diverse industrial needs while prioritizing user ergonomics and visibility. 1. Product Selection & Comparison Choosing the correct harness depends on the specific nature of the task and the required fall protection strategy (Restraint vs. Fall Arrest). SMT-278 Double Hook Buffer Package 100% Tie-off Fall Arrest 2. Detailed Model Breakdowns The Fall Arrest Series (SMT-278) These harnesses are designated for high risk environments where a free fall is a possibility. Shock Absorption: Both models feature an integrated Buffer Package (Energy Absorber) that deploys during a fall to reduce the impact force to safe levels. SMT-278 (Elite): The most comprehensive model, offering a Double Hook twin leg system with an integrated buffer. This allows for “100% tie-off,” ensuring the worker is never unanchored during transitions across structures. 3. Technical Features & Ergonomics Across the entire SMT line, several core features ensure consistency in safety and comfort: Polyester Webbing: High-strength synthetic material that resists weathering, chemicals, and UV degradation. Dorsal Attachment: A single rear D-ring supported by a reinforced plastic back plate ensures the lanyard remains positioned between the shoulder blades for proper body orientation during a fall. Full Adjustability: Each harness includes pass through buckles on the chest, waist, and thighs to accommodate varying body types and seasonal clothing. Heavy-Duty Hardware: Equipped with corrosion-resistant metal scaffold hooks and screw gate carabiners for secure tool free operation. 4. Safety and Maintenance Guidelines Pre-Use Inspection: Always check webbing for frays, burns, or chemical damage, and ensure all buckles operate smoothly. Buffer Inspection: For SMT-278, ensure the buffer package has not been deployed or tampered with. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the polyester fibers.
