Retractable anti-fall device of 10m with integrated rescue winch KALYPSO stainless steel cable and resistance 12 kN KRATOS SAFET

The KALYPSO retractable fall arrester from Kratos Safety, with a 10-meter stainless steel cable, is a premium safety solution designed for work at heights that require both personal protection and rescue capability in corrosive environments. Its high-quality stainless steel cable, with a breaking strength of over 12 kN, offers exceptional durability and high corrosion resistance, making it ideal for applications in marine, chemical, or high-humidity environments.

The integrated rescue winch allows assistance to a colleague in case of emergency, and the automatic braking system ensures a safe stop in the event of a fall. Additionally, its compact and robust design, along with the high-strength polymer housing, makes it ideal for demanding industrial environments.

STANDARDS

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

- EN 1496:2017, class B, refers to height rescue systems, specifically to evacuation and rescue devices used in emergency situations. This standard establishes the design, manufacturing, and performance requirements for this equipment. Class B indicates that the device must be capable of performing a controlled evacuation from a considerable height, ensuring the user's safety during descent. This includes aspects such as material strength, ease of use, and effectiveness in various conditions.

USE

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

HOW TO CHOOSE

The choice of fall arrester should be made based on the movements that need to be performed. 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 arrester 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 arrester should be preferred. This is the fall arrester that provides the greatest freedom of movement.

Sliding fall arresters should always be used vertically from the anchor point.

Automatic retractable fall arresters 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 arrester, it is necessary for the fall arrester 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 arresters on safety supports are mainly used for the following professions:

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

Automatic retractable fall arresters will be used more for the following professions:

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