KStrong, Unrivaled Safety
IMPAXX LONGSPAN Horizontal Lifeline System
Description
The KStrong IMPAXX LONGSPAN Horizontal Lifeline System is an Engineered, Permanently Installed, Horizontal Lifeline System, designed for use by up to 7 Users simultaneously in Fall Restraint and Fall Arrest.
Wall or overhead mounted into concrete or steel, it achieves cable spans of up to 35m single span or 30m multi-span, in strictly straight-line installations.
FEATURES:
- Wall or overhead mounted. Extremity Anchors may be fixed to concrete using Stainless Steel M16 stud(s) & Chemical Adhesive such as Hilti RE-500, or to steel using Stainless Steel M16 Bolt, Washers and Lock Nut. Intermediates use M12 fixings. See User Instruction Manual (UIM) for minimum fixing specifications. Fixings and chemical adhesive not included.
- This system is strictly for Fall Restraint and Fall Arrest Only, and must never be used for Abseil or Materials Handling. It must be installed and used exactly as prescribed within the User Instruction Manual (UIM).
- Maximum 7 Users per system, with a maximum of 7 Users per span. Ratings assume a user weight of 100kg (man and tools).
- Single span systems from 5m minimum to 35m maximum between Extremity Anchors. Multi-span systems from 5m minimum to 30m maximum per span.
- Strictly straight-line installation. Corners, Variable Intermediates, cable joins and swageless fittings must NOT be used.
- Standard Shuttle for use where the cable is within reach of the user. Overhead Shuttle must be used on overhead installations where the cable is out of reach of the user and/or a Self Retracting Lifeline (SRL) is connected. Approved for use with KStrong “Brute” & “Vulcan” Series SRLs. Maximum 1 User per Shuttle.
- Components may deform when the system is impacted by a single or multi user fall. The IMPAXX LONGSPAN In-Line Shock Absorber (AFF114112) must be used, limiting the maximum measured extremity load to 23.7kN, and an IMPAXX LONGSPAN Tensioner with Indicator Swaged (AFF114113) must be fitted at each end of the cable.
- Anchorage Structural Requirement: Extremity Anchors 48kN; Intermediates 18kN. Extremity Anchors and Intermediates must also resist 18kN applied at right angles to the line. When fixed to concrete, Extremity Anchors must be mounted so the load along the lifeline acts in shear on the fixings.
- Ø8mm Stainless Steel 1×19 cable only.
