Retractable anti-fall, galvanized steel cable with integrated exoskeleton, resistance 12 kN HELIXON-S KRATOS SAFETY

The HELIXON-S retractable fall arrester from Kratos Safety is an advanced safety solution designed for work at heights that require superior protection. Its galvanized steel cable, with a breaking strength of over 12 kN, offers great durability and resistance to corrosion. The integrated exoskeleton provides additional rigidity to the equipment, minimizing the risk of tangles and improving the lifespan of the cable.

The automatic braking system ensures a smooth and controlled stop in the event of a fall, minimizing the impact on the user. Additionally, its compact and ergonomic design, along with the high-strength polymer casing, makes it easy to transport and use in different work environments.

FEATURES

• High-strength polymer casing, which integrates: a transport handle; a cable sweeping brush, a removable window for access to the internal mechanism to check it without needing to fully open the box.
• Galvanized steel cable diameter 4.8 mm, which integrates: a FA 50 203 20 connector with fall indicator; a grip handle; an external energy absorber.
• Integrated brake system to achieve an impact force of less than 6 kN.
• Swivel shackle and FA 50 225 23B connector for connection to the anchor point.
• Weight: 5.35 kg.
• Compliance: EN 360:2002, VG11.060.
• Breaking strength > 12 kN.
• Approved for a user with a maximum weight of 140 kg in vertical and horizontal use.
• Product delivered with cord (FA 20 904 10) to assist with cable winding.

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 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 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 cleaning
• Rope access technician
• Rescuer
• Roofer-waterproofing technician
• Antenna and telecommunications technician

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

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