Fall arrest-line slidding on rail for vertical movement

Fall arrest-line slidding on rail for vertical movement

faba 770

Since 1965, FABA has introduced vertical or horizontal stairs, based on a modular and robust design. FABA offers complete solutions as well as safety rails for secure access to your premises. The complete range of materials ensures the existence of a safety system complies with EN 353-1

FABA guarantees the user the safety of climbing and descending to all possible facilities such as pillars, metal constructions, chimneys, mines etc.

The user must user a harness-safe belt, connected directly to the FABA slider. The trolleys have a simple mechanical design and are driven by the internal profile of the FABA rail. They offer good tolerances for installation and use.

FABA systems can be dyed according to the user’s requirements, and because of their design they can be used at very low temperatures.

Stopcable®

ladder safety systems

faba nw

The stopcable® ladder safety system is a wire rope type permanent fall protection system for climbing fixed ladders or vertical structures.

The system consists of galvanized top and bottom brackets, galvanized or stainless steel cable, an energy absorber, a turnbuckle and a stainless steel fall arrester (sold separately). Brackets are designed for ladder rungs but can be easily adapted to  most structures. A 5⁄16  in. (8.4  mm) or 3⁄8 in. (9.5 mm) steel cable is tensioned and contained approximately every 25 ft. (7.5 m) by cable guides which are designed to minimize cable vibration and slack.

A stainless steel fall arrester with internal spring-loaded cam can be attached or removed from the cable at any point. It is secured with a compatible carabiner, supplied with the fall arrester, to the frontal attachment point on any approved ladder climbing harness.

The user is free to climb and descend with full use of the hands. In the event of a fall, the fall arrester will quickly lock on the cable and arrest the fall. Free fall distance is minimized by a close coupled assembly. The top mounting bracket incorporates a shock absorber, further reducing impact and deceleration forces on the worker and the structure. An uninjured worker can quickly recover and climb down the structure to safety with complete protection.

  • Integrated shock absorber in upper bracket reducing forces on ladder
  • Adjustable on most permanent ladders
  • No special tools required for installation

ΠIncludes:

  • Wire rope
  • Wire rope adjuster
  • Upper bracket with integrated shock absorber
  • Lower bracket

Mounting requirements

The stopcable® ladder safety system is designed to meet the performance criteria set in the ANSI A14.3 and CSA standard for fall protection on fixed ladders. The ladder upon which the system is to be mounted must meet with applicable requirements set out by OSHA, ANSI, CSA and applicable federal, regional and local regulations.

Applications

  • Telecommunication towers
  • Light poles
  • Water towers
  • Hydro electric towers
  • Stacks
  • Any other climable structure
