AS-VRT Vertical Fall Arrest System

What Are Vertical Lifelines?

Vertical lifelines are fall prevention systems designed to ensure the safety of workers operating at heights. These systems allow personnel to remain securely connected while working on vertical surfaces, minimizing the risk of falls.

Applications of Vertical Lifelines

These systems are widely used in the following areas:

  • Energy and Telecommunications Sector: Ensures the safety of workers operating on utility poles, wind turbines, and base stations.
  • Industrial and Manufacturing Facilities: Provides secure access to industrial ladders, silos, overhead cranes, and other tall structures.
  • Construction and Infrastructure Projects: Used for maintenance and repair work on bridges, towers, dams, and similar vertical structures.
  • Transportation and Logistics: Supports the safe movement of workers on port cranes, loading platforms, and high warehouse shelving systems.

Advantages of Vertical Lifelines

Continuous Safety: Workers remain securely connected while moving along the vertical lifeline.
Durable and Long-Lasting: Made from stainless steel, aluminum, and other robust materials, ensuring resistance to harsh weather and working conditions.
Ergonomic and User-Friendly: Easily installed on ladders, towers, and other vertical surfaces.
Compliant with Regulations and Standards: Manufactured according to occupational safety regulations and international standards.

Vertical lifelines are essential for providing safe access to high locations. Their use is crucial in preventing workplace accidents and creating a secure working environment.

AS-VRT VERTICAL FALL ARREST SYSTEM

·         EN 353-1:2002

·         Two persons can secure themselves at the anchor point.

·         Made of AISI 316 stainless steel.

·         Equipment used with the system should have appropriately certified. Harness should comply with EN 358, EN361 and EN 813. Full body harness is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used in fall arrest system.

·         AS-VRT Vertical Fall Arrest Line System is installed on the bars located at the ladder by U-bolts and by tightening the nuts the plate is fixed to the bars.

·         The top mounting bracket incorporates a shock absorber, further reducing impact force on the worker and the structure

·         Engaging the guided type fall arrester’s release function or handling the guided type fall arrester during ascent or descent can hinder the safe operation of the braking mechanism
