Retractable anti-fall 10 m, constant winding speed, galvanized steel cable, resistance 12 kN KRONOS KRATOS SAFETY

The retractable fall arrest system KRONOS from Kratos Safety is an advanced safety solution designed for work at heights that require precise movement control. Its constant winding system ensures a smooth and even retraction of the cable, minimizing the risk of snags and entrapments. The galvanized steel cable, with a breaking strength of over 12 kN, offers exceptional durability and high resistance to corrosion.

This combination of features makes the KRONOS ideal for work in demanding industrial environments, where safety and efficiency are paramount. Its compact and lightweight design, along with its sturdy casing, facilitates transport and use in various applications, such as construction, industrial maintenance, and general work at heights.

FEATURES

• High-strength polymer housing, which integrates a carrying handle.
• Galvanized steel cable diameter 4.5 mm, which includes: an automatic locking aluminum connector 1/4 turn FA 50 221 17 with shackle and fall indicator, a grip handle.
• Integrated brake system to achieve an impact force of less than 6 kN.
• 180° pivoting anchoring ring and aluminum connector FA 50 201 22 at the end of the anchor.
• Weight: 5.23 kg.
• Product delivered with cord (FA 20 904 10) to assist with cable winding.
• Compliance: EN 360:2002. Minimum breaking strength > 12 kN.

APPLICATIONS

This technology helps protect the internal mechanism and the cable in case the cable is not held during winding. Recommended for works where numerous operators successively use the same product, for example when loading/unloading, etc.

TECHNICAL DATA

• HS Code: 84798997
• Compliance: EN 360:2002.
• Minimum breaking strength > 12 kN.
• Approved for a user with a maximum weight of 140 kg in vertical use only.

STANDARDS

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

USAGE

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

HOW TO CHOOSE

The choice of fall arrest system 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 arrest system 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 arrest system should be preferred. This is the fall arrest system that provides the greatest freedom of movement.

Sliding fall arrest systems should always be used vertically from the anchoring point.

Automatic retractable fall arrest systems are perfectly 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 arrest system, it is necessary for the fall arrest system 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 arrest systems 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 arrest systems will be more suitable for the following professions:

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