Tractel Fall arrest blocstop BSO - manriding applications

An additional safety system in accordance with EN 1808 is mandatory in man riding applications. The system is used to secure the work basket or platform against falling. That is precisely what our blocstop does. They are small, light and compact and attached to the working platform where the safety rope runs through it.

BSO – blocstop for the detection of overspeed:

If the movement of the safety rope exceeds a specified speed, then the BSO triggers automatically and securely catches the load. The safety rope is held between the clamping jaws, preventing the rope from slipping any further. However, the surface of the clamping jaws is large enough to prevent damage to the rope. The blocstop BSO is designed in such a way that the clamping jaws grip tighter, the higher the load on the rope.

Furthermore, the blocstop BSO has been tested using many times the nominal load in order to ensure an extremely large safety margin.

The BSO is available in 3 models:

• P version: standard version
• E version: with limit switch and 2m cable - with a plug for the tirak connection.
• EFA version: with the option to activate the BSO remotely.
