Rope Access Systems

A self contained portable anchor device for rope access workers that meets the requirements of IRATA Industrial Rope Access Trade Association and BS 7985: 2002 Code of practice for the use of rope access methods for industrial purposes.  This device does not require fixing to the roof surface and therefore can be dismantled and stored out of site when not in use.  The device can lift the working ropes 1400mm above the roof surface to clear standard handrail heights of 1100mm and therefore avoid unnecessary loadings to the handrail systems.

Assists users to work in accordance with BS 7985 - Code of Practice for the Use of Rope Access Methods for Industrial Purposes.  This provides:

  • A mobile fall protection unit for abseiling
  • Requires No attachment to structural members
  • NEL tests prove it does not migrate in fall - event (even with one user plus rescuer)
  • Does not penetrate roof
  • Suitable for most flat roof surfaces (up to 5 degrees)

The device is designed to provide the following additional benefits:

When correctly installed, provides an 'internally force-balanced' system, which does not require anchoring to the roof or other structure. It is extremely stable and will not migrate across the roof surface, either in normal use, or when arresting the fall of both worker and rescuer.  This anchor system provides full fall arrest protection, before approaching the edge, during assembly.

The product is intended for single person use, but in case of rescue, has been tested for two persons plus equipment up to a working load limit of 200kg.  Access lines are held away from the side of the building, greatly reducing the risk of abrasion.  An anchor point for rope access and safety lines that can be moved along the roof surface as required, removing the need for multiple attachment points.  The supplied parapet assembly tripod legs enable easy access and egress over parapet edges.

The device has been designed for easy transportation and installation, being of modular construction, with no part weighing over 25kg or 2m in size.  It is made from aluminium, galvanised or rubber coated parts requiring a minimum of simple maintenance.

The device is manufactured in factory and conforms to BS EN ISO 9002, and CE marked to the PPE Directive.

Do not use this equipment for any other purpose than that for which it is intended. If you are in any doubt, please contact us.  All users must be fully conversant with the instructions for use supplied with this device, and trained to relevant rope access guidelines.
