Fall Arrestors

Fall Arrester

Fall arresters automatically stop the free fall of a person in the event of a fall

Should a fall occur, cable is pulled out of the arrester at an accelerating rate. When a cable speed of approximately 1.5 metres per second is reached the unique twin disc pad braking mechanism is activated, arresting the fall quickly and smoothly greatly reducing the resultant forces acting on the body

When the load is released the cable retracts into the block

Load Arrester

Load Arresters automatically stop the free fall of a suspended load if the primary hoist system or suspension point fails

This provides protection for vulnerable equipment or to people below the suspended load

The load arrester senses the increase in cable speed and activates the braking system.
Energy is absorbed by the system and the load is stopped smoothly within a short distance

The load arresters incorporate an indicator giving an immediate and clear signal showing that the device has been used in a fall

Special features in the design enable the device to be used in a variety of positions and in the harshest environments
