DBI-SALA ULTRA-LOK® Self Retracting Fall Arrest (15m) Leading Edge Block | Vp ESS

Описание: The 15M ULTRA-LOK self retracting lifeline is the fall arrest solution for horizontal use when risk of falling on sharp edges. The DBI-SALA Design has a variety of applications where there is a risk of falling on sharp edges, such as leading-edge construction, steel construction, flat roofs, scaffolding, and towers.

DBI Sala Self-Retracting Lifeline’s unique design uses two separate systems of energy absorption providing total safety. If the cable becomes stuck on the sharp edge during the fall, the internal brake system on the block will not be engaged. However, the external energy absorber uniquely to the ULTRA-LOK is activated and absorbs the energy of the fall ensuring the safety of the user whose fall is not stopped abruptly. In the event of a fall while the cable is fully extended a cable reserve is released allowing the internal brake to operate normally.

Frequently Asked Questions regarding the DBI-SALA ULTRA-LOK® Self Retracting Leading Edge Block
What is self-retracting leading edge fall protection?
Leading Edge self-retracting fall arrests are advised when there is no above anchor point and only the option of tying-off at foot level is available. The built-in shock absorbers reduce impact forces when a fall happens from a low anchor point with a higher free fall.

What is considered a sharp edge?
Sharp and leading edges are two of the most serious risks that might compromise fall prevention. Sharp edges are non-rounded edges that have the ability to totally sever most lifelines. A leading edge is any circumstance in which a worker is at risk of falling over the edge of a work surface.

What is the best fall protection for leading edge work?
Best fall protection practices for leading edge work would be the use of a leading edge block in conjunction with a travel restraint system in place. A worker using a fall protection system (such as the DBI-SALA ULTRA-LOK) anchored at foot level behind him, alongside a distance limiter only allowing the user to reach the leading edge.
