Technical characteristics

Advanced system technology

Constant Force® technology

The patented Constant Force® technology absorbs the energy generated by a fall and controlledly reduces the load on the roof structure. This significantly reduces the risk of damage to the building and increases overall system safety.

Minimal roof loading

Unlike classical systems, the loads are not transmitted directly to the building structure; instead they are absorbed by the integrated Constant Force® mechanism. This allows use on more delicate roof constructions.

Uninterrupted user movement

The system enables uninterrupted movement along the entire life line without the need to unhook. The patented Transfastener® allows smooth passage through intermediate supports and direction changes.

The system is designed for use on various types of roofs:

• trapezoidal sheet
• flat roofs
• standing seam
• sandwich panels
• membrane roofs
• corrugated roofing
