Latchways, an MSA Company.
2. Product specification
The device is designed to arrest the fall of one climber in conjunction with a Latchways vertical fall arrest
system.
If a climber were to fall whilst connected to the Latchways system the energy absorber will deploy and
reduce the load applied to the body to 6 kN (1,350 lbf) or less.
The device has an anti-inversion mechanism which prevents it being used on the cable system if there is an
attempt to use it upside down.
When the device is attached to the cable the horizontal distance from the cable to the harness front
attachment point is 0.3 m, (12”) which allows the user to ascend / descend unhindered, this must not be
extended, shortened or have any components added or removed
The full arrest distance of the device when tested to CSA Z259.2.5 is less than 150 mm (6”).
