Anchor post with energy absorption system for standing seam roof and resistance 26 kN KRATOS SAFETY

The Anchor Post with energy absorption system from Kratos Safety is the ultimate solution to ensure maximum safety in height work on sloped roofs. Designed to withstand high loads and securely fixed to the roof, this post incorporates an advanced energy absorption system that dissipates the force generated in the event of a fall, minimizing the risk of injury.

Made of stainless steel 316, it offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and atmospheric agents, ensuring a long service life even in the most demanding conditions. With a resistance of 26 kN, it exceeds the most stringent safety standards, providing peace of mind to workers.

FEATURES

• Mounting plate with various holes to adapt to different dimensions (see spacing measurements).
• Fixings: Aluminum brackets on standing seam roofs
• Its design allows for the dissipation of energy generated by the stopping of a fall.
• Material: Stainless steel
• Weight: 12.5 kg
• Compliance: EN 795:2012 Type A & TS 16415 Type A

TECHNICAL DATA

• HS: 73269098

STANDARDS

- EN 795:2012 Type A refers to anchorage systems, but in this case focuses on portable anchorage devices. These devices are designed to be used on the ground or on flat surfaces and do not require a fixed installation on a structure. Type A includes requirements for their design, performance, and testing, ensuring that they are safe and effective in preventing falls. These systems are typically used in situations where it is not practical or possible to install a permanent anchorage system, offering flexibility and mobility to workers performing tasks at height.

- The regulation TS 16415 Type A refers to a standard related to safety in the handling and use of lifting equipment. Specifically, it focuses on safety management systems for the design, manufacture, and maintenance of this equipment. The main objective is to ensure that safe procedures are followed to minimize risks and prevent accidents at work.

APPLICATIONS

• Maintenance
• Equipment repair
• Work at heights and fixed structures

USE

There is no good fall protection system without a good anchorage point. Regardless of the type of intervention that needs to be carried out, whether it is temporary or regular, it is essential to choose the anchorage point carefully and ensure that the receiving structure (building, metal structure, post) is sufficiently strong.

WHAT TO CHOOSE

The anchorage point is undoubtedly the most delicate element of a fall protection system that must be chosen to ensure optimal safety. When choosing the anchorage point, it is necessary first to determine where to install the anchorage point. To do this, the following aspects must be considered: static resistance of the anchorage point: > 10 kN installation height: high enough in relation to the first potential obstacle in case of a fall (see fall factor diagram) situation: vertically above the workstation to avoid risks associated with the pendulum effect (see pendulum effect diagram)
