Fall Protection, Load Arrestors

Load Halt Fall Protection Equipment and Load Arrestors work on the principle of inertia. Inertia is the same method used in retracting car seat belt systems to sense rapid movement and lock on to arrest the movement. Load Halt Load Arrestors are used as a back-up device to the Bal-Trol® pneumatic balancing hoists. The load arrestors spring tensioned cable is connected to the load. The device senses a fall when connected objects fall and speeds exceed the lock-on rate.

Function

• Arrest accidental free-fall of loads on product or personnel

Application

• LOAD ARRESTORS typical use includes manufacturing environments involving overhead suspended tools, jigs, fixtures, rail mounted fastening systems, hoists, winches, load and tool balancers, overhead moveable lighting, theater hoists and other suspended objects that could fall if the primary suspension fails.
