Retractable anti-fall in various lengths for vertical use only, resistance 12 kN HELIXON KRATOS SAFETY

The retractable fall arrester HELIXON from Kratos Safety is a specialized safety solution for work at height that requires exclusively vertical movements. Available in a variety of lengths to suit different needs, this equipment offers great freedom of movement to the user, allowing them to access elevated work points with complete safety.

Its galvanized steel cable, with a breaking strength of over 12 kN, ensures exceptional durability and high resistance to corrosion. The integrated braking system ensures a smooth and controlled stop in the event of a fall, minimizing the risk of injury. Specifically designed for vertical use, the HELIXON is ideal for work on poles, towers, chimneys, and other structures where a robust and reliable equipment is required.

FEATURES

• High-strength polymer housing, which includes: a carrying handle; a removable window for access to the internal mechanism, allowing inspection without the need to fully open the box.
• Galvanized steel cable diameter 4.5 mm, which includes: a FA 50 203 20 connector with fall indicator; a grip handle.
• Integrated braking system to achieve an impact force of less than 6 kN.
• Swivel shackle and FA 50 101 17 connector for connection to the anchorage point.
• Weight: 3.41 kg.
• Compliance: EN 360:2002.
• Breaking strength > 12 kN.
• HS Code: 84798997

TECHNICAL DATA

• Maximum User Weight (Vertical Use) 140 Kg
• PPE / NON-PPE PPE

STANDARDS

- EN360:2002: A retractable fall arrester 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).

USAGE

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 prioritized. 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 cleaning
• 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.
