Vertical Fall Arrest Systems
Vertical Fall Arrest Systems ensure that users remain safe whilst climbing.
It is important that the user can ascend and descend comfortably and
safely, which is why the Lad-Saf® system has been so popular over the
years.
It has been available for over 30 years and is the biggest selling vertical
fall arrest system. It has been installed in all continents across the globe
and is this experience which has led the development of one fully certified
system, including the shuttle that is now the new standard Lad-Saf®
system.
From telecommunications and oil and gas to wind turbines and utility
towers, the Lad-Saf® system has the flexibility to allow connection to all of
the wide range of structures there may be.
Global Safety
The new Lad-Saf® sleeve has been designed to meet all applicable safety
standards around the world, in conjunction with other Lad-Saf®
components, creating a universally approved vertical fall arrest system.
This means that the Lad-Saf® system can be used the world over and there
is no requirement for different components in each region around the
globe.
The whole system is certified to EN 353-1:2002, ANSI-ASC A14.3-2008
and CSA-Z259.2.1-98 (R2004).
Users only need one product or system specification across the globe
unlike with previous versions where different specifications are required.
This is essential for multi-national organisations who have assets globally,
but are not able to purchase form one hub, instead having to purchase in
different regions which can cause confusion.
With a globally approved system it can be specified globally and purchased
through a single purchasing location.
System Usage
The Lad-Saf® system retains its ability to allow up to 4 users use the system at once and enables them to connect and
disconnect at any point of the lifeline.
The design also allows the shuttle to remain attached to the user to eliminate the potential for dropping and creating
Lost Time Incidents or causing potential injury. Alongside the new shuttle the new Lad-Saf® system has extra options.
Previous versions have only allowed 9.25mm (3/8”) cable be used which can be difficult to handle especially in
confined environments. The new global system introduces the availability of 8mm (5/16”) cable options.
There are new top bracket assemblies for the range of 8mm cables too. New internal components are used within the
head assembly to ensure optimal performance and safety. It is important to ensure that the correct bracket is used
with the correct diameter of cable. Housed inside are the elastometric attenuator (shock absorbing element) and the
strand vice, specific for the cable diameter used.
6100090 - Bottom Bracket.
Galvanised bracket to be attached to ladder
by using 2off rung fixings. Cable gripped to
tensioner bar and bar tensioned to
pre-determined value to provide the correct
tension on the lifeline.
Other fixing options and stainless steel product also available.
6100400 - Intermediate Cable Guide.
Galvanised intermediate cable guide to ensure cable is distanced away from the ladder to aid easier climbing.
Polyurethane guide piece prevents cable from vibrating causing potential damage to the cable.
Rung fix to ladder other fixing options and
stainless steel product also available.
