Overhead Cable
Overhead cable systems minimise the consequences of falls from height. Installations come equipped with a wheeled trolley and retractable fall arrestor offering a cost effective overhead fall arrest solution.
The system is typically designed for up to 2/3 users and requires more advanced training on working at height and PPE. Fall arrest systems will require rescue plans and rescue training.
The system is ideal for installation in industrial environments, warehouses, loading bays and vehicle/aircraft maintenance workshops. Overhead cable systems can easily accommodate changes of direction and can be secured to the structure using a range of anchorage fittings.
These systems must be inspected before and after every use by a trained user. They must be inspected & tested by a suitable working at height Specialist Company a minimum of every 12 months and/or after every fall.
