I have the following safety belts for sale, all are unused and made by
Miller Equipment and Rose, both top-quality suppliers of OSHA fall
protection equipment.

Quantities are limited, so it's first-come first-serve.
Add $7 per order for shipping via UPS.

Miller publishes the following size table for their belts:

    Small:      32 to 40 belt size
    Medium:     36 to 44 belt size
    Large:      40 to 48 belt size
    Ex. Large:  44 to 52 belt size

For example, I have a 38" waist and I can fit into a small belt (on the
last hole!), but be sure to make allowance for extra clothing (jacket,
sweater, etc.).

Note that all belts require a lanyard to go around the tower,
either "F" or "K".  Full body harnesses require the "K" shock
absorbing lanyard.


A)  Body belt (made by Rose), waist belt and one or two
adjustable straps which have a large gorilla hook to attach to
tower or lanyard, extra "D" ring on belt for a safety lanyard.
These Rose belts are universal size, there's plenty of length to
accomodate all belt sizes.  $15 for single strap, $20 for straps
on each side.

B)  Body belt with saddle, (2) "D" rings on the waist belt.
The second belt (saddle) goes under your seat for extra support.
$45 (Small only)

C)  Body belt with saddle, (2) "D" rings on the saddle,
3" back pad.  Allows you to assume more of a sitting position
when you're positioned on the tower, very comfortable for
extended periods of time (Small, Large).  $40

D)  Body belt with one large gorilla hook on a swivel
attached to "D" ring allows a lot of flexibility in motion,
removable 3" back pad. $20 (Small, Medium, Large)

E)  Body belt, no "D" rings.  Use with a lanyard (see
below) for bucket work, ladder climbing, roofing work, etc.
$10 (Small, Medium, Large, XL)

F)  Single-snap webbing lanyards, use with the body belt
above.  Snap on one end, loop on the other end.  8000 lb
tensile strength, great as an extra safety strap for tower
climbing, lifting or securing heavy items, pulling your
truck out of the mud, etc.  $10 for single-snap, $15 for
single-snap with shock absorber (for use with full body
harnesses).

G)  Shoulder harness, adjustable shoulder straps, double
ply waist strap, single "D" ring on back.  $30 (Large only)

H)  Full body harness, (2) shoulder "D" rings and (1) back
"D" ring.  This is a true fall protection device, designed
to safely support you in the event of a fall.  Recommended
for use with shock absorbing lanyards ("F" above)
(Small only). $45

I)  Full body harness with (2) shoulder "D" rings, otherwise
similar to above (Small only).  $45

J)  Full body harness with (1) back "D" ring, otherwise
similar to above.  (Small, Large).  $45

K) Adjustable rope lanyard for use with any of the above belts.  $20

73 and safe climbing!
