Vertical Lifeline Systems
1. Vertical Lifeline Cable Systems
The 3M™ Protecta® Cabloc Vertical Cable System offers fall protection for workers whilst providing a functional and practical means of access and egress on structures such as wind turbines and communication towers. It can be permanently installed to a ladder or other vertical structure. Components are available in either stainless or galvanised steel options.
- Easy and quick to install
- The top and bottom anchors are available in either galvanised or stainless steel
- Bottom anchor tension indicator provides a visual indication that the cable is correctly tensioned
- Can be installed on structures that incline up to 15 degrees, making it suitable for a variety of structures
- Users can attach and detach at any point along the length of the system allowing easy access to platforms and adjacent work areas
- Components are made from high-quality materials with corrosion-resistant finishes making the system suitable for installation in a wide range of aggressive environments
- Traveller automatically follows the user and locks in the event of a fall, providing uninterrupted movement for the user during ascent and descent whilst maintaining complete safety
- The Cabloc system, used in conjunction with the new Cabloc traveller, is CE marked and tested and conforms with EN 353-1:2014
