Tractel Blocfor 5 ESD 5m Fall Arrester

Description:

This is an ideal fall arrester with retractable webbing for use on terrace roofs. The new version of Blocfor™ 5 ESD retractable fall arrester has been considerably improved with respect to the current model. The mechanism has been greatly simplified to optimise its functionality. The design has been completely re-engineered to facilitate use and improve its handling.

The Blocfor™ 5 ESD retractable fall arrester is equipped with an energy dissipater mounted at the end of the webbing. The dissipater ensures user impact in the event of a fall of less than 600 daN even when the webbing is fully unwound. The Extremity System Dissipator (ESD) reduces the dynamic load impacted on the user’s body in the event of a fall. It protects the webbing from the risk of cuts which could occur due to the sharp edges sometimes present on terrace roofs.
The new Blocfor™ 5 ESD retractable fall arrester fully meet user requirements. With its reel capacity of 5 metres of webbing, this new fall arrester is lightweight, more compact and safer than the other fall arresters currently available on the market

The Blocfor™ 5 and Blocfor 6 ESD retractable fall arresters are equipped with an energy dissipater mounted at the end of the webbing. The dissipater ensures user impact in the event of a fall of less than 600 daN even when the webbing is fully unwound. The Extremity System Dissipater (ESD) reduces the dynamic load impacted on the user’s body in the event of a fall and protects the webbing from the risk of severing which could occur due to the sharp edges of terrace roofs.

The main advantages in using the Blocfor™ 5 and 6 ESD retractable fall arrester are as follows:

• Integrated ESD system on end of webbing. This eliminates the risk of a violent shock in the event of a fall when the webbing is fully unwound.
• Very easy to grasp and handle when transporting and installing.
• Simplified maintenance by its optimised design
