Technical specifications

Advanced system technology

Constant Force® technology

The patented Constant Force® absorber regulates the forces generated during a fall and limits the load on the structure and user. This reduces the impact of force on the object and increases system safety.

Uninterrupted movement without unhooking

A mobile anchor element allows smooth movement along the entire system and automatic passage through intermediate carriers and direction changes without manual intervention by the user.

Minimal rope sag

The system uses a pre-tensioned rope with low elongation, reducing sag and sway in the event of a fall. This further increases safety and user comfort.

High material resistance

Use of stainless steel AISI 316 provides long service life even in demanding environments, such as chemical industry, offshore facilities, or outdoor weather-exposed structures.

System components

The system can include:

• supporting cables
• Constant Force® energy absorbers
• mobile anchor elements
• intermediate carriers
• corner carriers
• tensioning elements
• mounting brackets
• self-retracting lifelines (SRLs)
• adaptation components for specific constructions

Advantages over traditional I-beam systems

• faster and easier installation
• lower installation costs
• greater adaptability to the structure
• less need for additional carriers
• better mobility for users
• ability to span larger distances between anchors
