Retractable anti-fall device of 10 m for vertical use only, stainless steel cable, resistance 12 kN HELIXON KRATOS SAFETY

The HELIXON retractable fall arrester from Kratos Safety, with a length of 10 meters, is a specialized safety solution designed for work at height that requires exclusively vertical movements. Its high-quality stainless steel cable, with a breaking strength of over 12 kN, ensures exceptional durability and high resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for applications in aggressive environments such as marine or industrial settings with the presence of chemicals.

The compact and lightweight design of this equipment, combined with its integrated braking system, ensures a smooth and controlled stop in the event of a fall, minimizing the risk of injury. Additionally, its high-strength polymer housing protects the internal components and facilitates transport. Ideal for work on poles, towers, chimneys, and other structures where a robust and reliable piece of equipment is required, the HELIXON is an indispensable tool for ensuring worker safety in demanding environments.

FEATURES

• High-strength polymer housing, which includes: a transport handle, a cable sweeping brush, an easily removable window for access to the internal mechanism, allowing inspection without the need to fully open the box.
• Stainless steel cable with a diameter of 4.5 mm, which includes: a stainless steel connector with a 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: 4.28 kg.
• Product delivered with a cord (FA 20 904 10) to assist with cable retraction.
• Compliance: EN 360:2002 + EN 360:2002 §4.6, ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU
• Breaking strength > 12 kN.
• Approved for a user with a maximum weight of 140 kg for vertical use only.

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. Available in various 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 based on the movements that need to be made. Clearly, 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 must 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 more suitable for the following professions:

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