6 m retractable fall protection tape with a resistance of 15 kN HELIXON-S KRATOS SAFETY

The HELIXON-S retractable fall arrest system from Kratos Safety is an individual protective equipment designed to provide maximum safety for work at height. Its high-strength polyester tape, with a length of 6 meters and a load capacity of 15 kN, offers great freedom of movement to the user without compromising safety.

The integrated braking system ensures a smooth and controlled stop in the event of a fall, minimizing the risk of injury. Additionally, its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to transport and use in different work environments. Thanks to its versatility, this fall arrest system is ideal for jobs that require mobility and access to different points on the same plane, such as industrial maintenance, construction, and facade work.

FEATURES

• High-strength polymer housing, which includes: a carrying handle; a removable window for easy access to the internal mechanism for inspection without needing to fully open the box.
• 25 mm polyester tape, which includes: a FA 50 203 20 connector with a fall indicator, an external energy absorber.
• Integrated braking system to achieve an impact force of less than 6 kN.

STANDARDS

- EN360:2002: A retractable fall arrest system is a device equipped with a harness (made of cable or strap) that is constantly kept under tension, following the movements of the users. The system automatically locks and immobilizes in the event of a user fall. Available in different lengths. Breaking strength > 12 kN (cable harness) or > 15 kN (textile harness).

APPLICATIONS

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

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

• Work on poles
• Work on rocky walls
• Work on lifts
• Window cleaning
• Rope access technician
• Rescuer
• Roofer - waterproofing technician
• Antenna and telecommunications technician

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

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

USAGE

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

HOW TO CHOOSE

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

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

If the movements can be horizontal and vertical, an automatic retractable fall arrest system should be preferred. This is the fall arrest system that provides the greatest freedom of movement.

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

Automatic retractable fall arrest systems are perfectly 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 arrest system, it is necessary for the fall arrest system to be equipped with a manual locking system.
