Fall arrestors - Fall arresting rope from 3M™ Protecta® och DBI-SALA®
The fall arrester acts as a link between the safety harness and the fall protection's coupling device. The fall protection arrester absorbs the energy that occurs during a fall by allowing a stitched band in the fall arrester to unfold and slow down the speed of the fall - the body is not subjected to a higher force than 6 kN.
It is important to use the fall arrestor line / fall arrester in the right situations; when the potential fall height is generally higher than 6 meters. For lower potential fall heights of approximately 6 meters or less, a fall arrest block should be used, as the block will more quickly slow down and stop a potential fall.
The fall arrester must be certified according to CE EN355.
