HORIZONTAL LIFELINE SYSTEM
USP -11000 and USP-12000 provides permanent anchorage to a user who has to move constantly along the horizontal track .It comprises of wire rope, anchor extremity plate, shock absorber, tensioner, carriage body, intermediate & cable extremity which are made of Stainless Steel grade 316.The wire rope of 8 mm diameter (construction 7x19) runs all along the horizontal track which is installed at the ends using Anchor Extremity plates. The use of Shock Absorber reduces the impact of fall both on user as well as on the extremities.
The line also has Tensioner which regulates tensioning of the cable & both ends have a swage less termination. The Intermediate brackets hold the wire in position all along the length of the wire, and are installed at intervals of 5 to 15 mtrs. The main advantage of Intermediate bracket is that it can be oriented on all directions.
The line also has Carriage Body which connects the user to the line with the help of a lanyard/ retractable block, and moves smoothly without interruption along the entire length of the horizontal line and also through the intermediate brackets, ensuring 100% anchorage of the user at all times.
USP-11000 (Over The Roof) HORIZONTAL LIFELINE SYSTEM
The system has an Inspection Name Plate which is installed on the first rung of the ladder for identification, traceability, maintenance of inspection records. Two stainless steel cable ties are 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 .The system is versatile and can be installed on walls, Floors, Ceilings as well as on Roof tops, using the same components by just altering the orientation of the Intermediate Brackets.
