Vertical sliding system with wheels for KS8000 and KS9000 KRATOS SAFETY

The vertical slider with wheels from Kratos Safety is an essential component for the KS8000 and KS9000 fall protection systems. Designed for smooth and safe movement along a vertical lifeline, this slider allows workers to move freely and efficiently. Its construction in stainless steel 316 and brass wheels ensure a long service life and smooth operation, even in adverse conditions. The built-in anti-reversal device prevents incorrect installation, adding an extra layer of safety.

FEATURES

• Stainless steel (316) slider with 4 brass wheels for smooth movement.
• Includes an anti-reversal device that prevents the slider from being installed backward on the anchorage line.
• Unidirectional locking system that prevents the slider from sliding down on its own when not in use.
• Has a fall indicator.
• Complies with: EN353-1:2014
• HS Code: 8308 10 10

TECHNICAL DATA

• Standard(s): EN 353-1:2014
• Material: Stainless Steel
• Type of Anchorage Line: Rail Anchorage Line

STANDARDS

- EN353-1:2014: A sliding fall protection device on a rigid safety support is a device that automatically locks and immobilizes on the vertical support in the event of a user's fall. The safety support can be cable (tensioned) or rail. The breaking strength of these systems is >15 kN.

USE

It should only be used in work that requires significant movement.

HOW TO CHOOSE

The choice of fall protection should be made based on the movements that need to be performed. Obviously, when choosing the fall protection system, the position of the attachment point should be considered.

If the movement is purely vertical (along a ladder, for example), a sliding fall protection device on a safety support should always be favored. They have the advantage of being able to be installed (some of them) permanently on the structure.

If the movements can be horizontal and vertical, an automatic retractable fall protection device should be prioritized. This is the fall protection that provides the greatest freedom of movement.

Sliding fall protections should always be used vertically from the anchorage point.

Automatic retractable fall protections are particularly suitable for low-height work, as the locking is almost instantaneous, thus limiting the necessary free height.

For work on an inclined plane with a sliding fall protection device, it is necessary for the fall protection to be equipped with a manual locking system.

APPLICATIONS

It can be used wherever the user needs great freedom of movement and has to navigate obstacles while remaining safe.

Fall protections on safety supports are mainly used for the following professions:

• Work on poles
• Work on rocky walls
• Work on ski lifts
• Window cleaner
• Rigger
• Rescuer
• Roofer-sealing technician
• Antenna and telecommunications technician

Automatic retractable fall protections will be more suitable for the following professions:

Facade work, on terraces, on scaffolding, on platforms, and in maintenance.
