Automatic fall arresters with energy absorber (strap-on or cable-on)

Automatic fall arresters

The automatic fall arresters must be connected to a safe anchorage point ideally located above the operator to reduce the risk of accidents and have a fall factor as close to zero as possible. It must comply with the EN360 standard.

It can be strap or cable depending on the applications:

EDGE strap fall arrest

The webbing fall arrester is specifically designed for work at heights (MEWP, scaffolding, roof, etc.) with a small length of connection (from 2 to 5 meters). The EDGE automatic fall arrest is very light and equipped with a high-density polyethylene webbing lanyard that can be automatically retracted.

It is compatible with vertical or horizontal configuration for a maximum load up to 140 kg. It also has a swivel connector to prevent the strap from twisting during use. The energy absorber is packaged in a polyester pouch. It is available in two strap lengths: 2 or 3.5 meters.

Cable fall arrest with NSTS rescue winch

Rope fall arrest are heavier and bulkier than strap fall arrest. It is equipped with a very strong steel cable and is more specifically designed for difficult or severe areas such as manholes (risk of cutting) or confined spaces.

The NSTS automatic fall arrest system is equipped with an automatically retractable steel rope lanyard, equipped with a dual catches system that allows immediate restraint in the event of a fall, and an internal element for kinetic energy dissipation (energy absorber).

An emergency rescue hoist, easily activated after a fall, allows the secure person to be evacuated upwards. It is available in 3 cable lengths: 10, 15 and 20 meters.
