The system does not replace personal safety harnesses (PPE – personal protective equipment).
Generally the fall arrest system is suited for maxim 3 persons per meter length of line. The maximum number of
persons must be adjusted according to the requirements as follows:
a.) Determination of the maximum number of persons
b.)
c.)
d.)
1 person permitted on one trolley.
Each safety trolley must only be used in combination with a personal safety harness.
Dampers/shock absorbers are to be used.

b)
c)Distance to collision:
llafehTnosrepderucesatahterusneotderiuqerecapsehtsnaemsihT
height must always be reduced to a minimum. The calculation of the fall height depends on the system used:
connectors/fasteners, dampers/shock absorbers, distortion of safety belt.
Minimum distance from the impact point (incl. body height) + 1m to floor or obstacle.

The supporting structure must be designed to withstand the worst case scenario,i.e. if all persons operating the
system were to fall at once.
Calculate 10kn dynamic load affecting the system (or according to chart at 26.B06P) for one person:for each
additional person add 1kn.
it is important to conduct an analysis of the rescue options for the maximum number of persons.

Product Description
3.1.Components
Horizontal running track system with support brackets for wall or ceiling mounting as well as mounting to a steel beam
above.
The internally running trolleys are 4 ball bearing rollers and a safety bolt preven the trolley falling
due to axle or bearing .
yBn a straight line or follow a specified course using several types of bends.idelbmessaebnacmetsyskcartehT
dividing the line in several directions, switches are installed which can lead into one or more lines. The trolleys are
available in two different types.
Trolley T40P with vertical swivel bolt 360° and ring nut DIN 582.
Trolley T10P with hole (for the use of this trolley as person carrier you have to use a PPE rotating swivel). Track
stoppers of type 25.X01 are screwed at the open end of the track. Swivel switches are delivered either with manually
or automatically changing switch tongues. The operation can be carried out manually by switch lever or by lever with
pulling chain.
The components comply with EN 795 class D.
The track system is constructed for vertical assembly. The lines can be in straight c .
Mounting: The tracks are attached to steel beams or masonry with support brackets or adjustable brackets. The
mounting distances are at 4.1.
During assembly the . Assembly
onto steel construction's you must use screws of DIN 933 M16 (8.8).
The free standing track ends are allowed to jut out over the last support bracket according to chart page 15 / 4.6. If
this distance is exceeded then additional support brackets must be installed.

Assembly
Warning: Each mounting point must be capable of holding a load of 10KN.
Free standing track ends and track joints are to be separated by at least a full section. See 4.7 assembly regulations.
Except bracket 26.B06P (look at the chart on page 5)
A - ENG - 2011
For the assembly of bends, a support bracket should be fitted in the center of each bend.The exact positioning of the
support brackets is depicted at 4.6 (Example of line) and must be followed. Since the trolleys have no brake
mechanism, ascending or descending track requires a different type of support or other restraint method. Please
consult the manufacturer for recommendations and ensure proper testing by a qualified person.
(All non-horizontal lines require an extra examination)
The switches are connected into the system via the track joints and must be positioned immediately before the joint.
