Retractable anti-fall with integrated rescue winch, stainless steel cable, and resistance 12 kN KALYPSO KRATOS SAFETY

The KALYPSO retractable fall arrester from Kratos Safety is a comprehensive safety solution designed for work at height that requires both personal protection and rescue capability in demanding environments. Its high-quality stainless steel cable, with a breaking strength of over 12 kN, ensures 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. This fall arrester is perfect for work on offshore platforms, chemical plants, and any other situation where a combination of personal protection and rescue capability is required under adverse conditions.

FEATURES

• Stainless steel cable with a diameter of 4.5 mm with a grip handle on the cable.
• Integrated brake system to achieve an impact force of less than 6 kN.
• Swivel link and stainless steel connector for connection at the anchorage point and stainless steel connector with fall indicator on the cable.
• Integrated recovery system.

STANDARDS

- EN360:2002: A retractable fall arrester is a device equipped with a lanyard (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 lanyard) or > 15 kN (textile lanyard).

- 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.

USAGE

It will 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 must 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 anchorage 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
• Rigger
• Rescuer
• Roofer-sealing technician
• Antenna technician, telecommunications

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

Work on facades, terraces, scaffolding, on boats, and in maintenance.
