ON FLEXIBLE STEEL CABLE LINE

System Ref: VERTEX PN 2001
System Specifications

Conforming to the Norm EN 353-2:2002 this vertical
Fall Arrest system is an integrated solution to arrest
the fall of a user who has to constantly climb up &
down a ladder. It consists of a vertical anchorage line
made of stainless steel wire rope, installed on a ladder
using an appropriate mounting bracket at the top.
A stainless steel Rope Grab moves up & down the
anchorage line, accompanying the user who is
connected to this rope grab with the help of a small
shock absorbing lanyard.
To maintain the tension in the wire rope, a dead weight
is connected to the lower end. Also, an end clamp
provided at the end of the wire rope is fitted to the
ladder rung to maintain the anchorage line in position.
Intermediates are provided at regular intervals to
prevent dislocation of the anchorage line from its
mean position due to wind pressure or mechanical
movement.
The system also has an Inspection Name Plate which
is installed on the first rung of the ladder for
identification, traceability and maintenance of
inspection records. One stainless steel cable is used
to fasten the System Name Plate to the structure. At
time of installation, the relevant details are punched
on the plate by a number punch. The revalidation
dates are punched each year on the plates after
inspection and revalidation.
Significant Features are:
Ÿ It is simple and easy to install requiring minimum
effort for installation.
Ÿ The Rope Grab comes with special anti-gravity
locking system which enables it to be fitted
always in the correct position.

Extremity Plates for Two Ladder Rungs
