MultiSafe Uni 8 overhead
The Uni-8 Overhead Lifeline System is a unique safety product. It offers both fall arrest and restraint capabilities using a 1 x 19 8mm stainless steel cable, which is secured to a structure using a range of anchorage fittings.
The two wheeled attachment carriages are secured to the system during installation and when in use move over the intermediate brackets without interruption. It is a true hands-free system. The system has a minimum breaking strength of 38 kN and can span up to 30 metres between intermediate supports. This is achieved through high pre-tension loading in the cable of 5kN combined with the properties of the 1 x 19 8mm cable. A complete range of structural end anchors are available to enable the system to integrate with the structure. The Uniline Horizontal Lifeline is designed to provide a facility to enable safe working at heights in accordance with current regulations and safe access to a variety of otherwise dangerous situations , or to restrain personnel from putting themselves at risk. There are two types of horizontal lifeline.
The Uni-8 Overhead System consists of a horizontally mounted lifeline that spans the work area and is fixed at either end to the structure via anchorage connectors. The lifeline may be supported at regular intervals by intermediate brackets. The intermediate brackets help to reduce the loads in the event of a fall, limit cable deflections and allow for longer single installations. The Uni-8 Overhead System is only suitable for mounting 1.6m or more above the work area or walking surface and does not navigate corners or changes in direction. In order to ensure best performance of the system, it should be installed so that it is completely level.
URG10 Roll
The URG10 Roll controlled rate descent device provides a highly beneficial alternative to a retractable fall arrest block/self retracting lifeline. Instead of arresting the worker in the event of a fall, who would then require rescuing, the URG10-Roll automatically lowers the worker to the ground at a rate of 0.5m/s. The risk of injury to the worker is greatly reduced, as the device does not lock if the worker falls. The worker is not therefore, subjected to dynamic arrest forces and the risk of injury from suspension trauma is mitigated. It is the perfect solution where rescue may be difficult or where a fallen worker may go unnoticed.
The URG10 Roll should not be used where there is a possibility a worker could be lowered in to a hazardous area which would expose them to further risk. The device is very robust, requires minimal maintenance and can be left permanently outdoors without fear of degradation. This adds up to low overall cost of ownership and saves money on rescue training and equipment.
The Uni-8 Overhead System is a horizontal lifeline fall protection system.
