The risk of operating without certified maintenance
The self-retracting lifeline is the last link between the worker and a fall. It gives no warning signs before the moment it is called upon: fatigued retraction springs, worn locking pawls, broken wires hidden inside the drum and compromised energy absorbers only reveal themselves during the fall.
Keeping SRLs in use without periodic inspection is not savings. It is the transfer of a predictable cost to an event of incalculable cost.
Risk to life
A device that does not lock within its design parameters turns an arrested fall into a serious or fatal accident.
Labor and criminal liability
NR-35 assigns the employer the responsibility for inspecting and maintaining fall protection equipment. Without a traceable maintenance history, the company and its officers answer directly in case of an accident.
Financial and operational liability
Labor authority fines, work-front embargoes, higher insurance premiums and suspension of work at height until the equipment fleet is regularized.
A specialized maintenance center
Anchor runs a center dedicated exclusively to self-retracting lifelines, developed together with MG Cinto, one of Brazil's largest manufacturers of PPE for work at height. Procedures, tolerances and rejection criteria come straight from the factory.
Full scope: cable, webbing and rescuers
Tooling for the entire maintenance cycle: disassembly, dimensional inspection, component replacement, reassembly, functional testing and documented release.
Skylotec ACX qualification
Internationally trained team, with training completed in China and India, qualified to maintain Skylotec ACX systems. A rare capability in the Brazilian market.
In-house machining center
In-house fabrication of support devices and tooling with engineering precision, reducing dependence on third parties and lead times.
On-site service across Brazil
Beyond shipping devices to the maintenance center, teams work on-site at the client's operation in any region, reducing fleet downtime.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a self-retracting lifeline undergo inspection and maintenance?
NR-35 requires fall protection equipment to be inspected at the frequency defined by the manufacturer. In market practice, revision at a qualified center is typically annual, in addition to pre-use inspections by the worker. After any fall arrest event, the device must be immediately removed from service and sent for evaluation. Anchor can audit your equipment fleet and structure the maintenance schedule appropriate to each model.
Is maintenance done only at the Anchor center or also at my plant?
Both. Beyond the maintenance center in Belo Horizonte, Anchor keeps teams working on-site at the client's operation across the entire Brazilian territory. The on-site mode is indicated for large equipment fleets, where logistics cost and downtime are critical.
Which SRL brands and models are serviced?
The center is tooled for cable and webbing retractable devices and rescuers in general, with a specific qualification, obtained through international training, for Skylotec ACX systems. For the specific models in your fleet, our engineering team evaluates technical and documentation compatibility before the service begins.
What documentation do I receive at the end of the service, and does it satisfy an inspection?
Each device is returned with a technical report of the executed service and a warranty. This documentation set establishes the traceability required in internal audits, certifications and labor inspections related to NR-35.
