Blocstop™ BS fall arrest device
The fall arrest system functions automatically
when:
– a lowering operation is initiated: the operator
must lift the load using the hoist; the fall arrest
device releases its grip on the wire rope
automatically,
– a lifting or pulling hoist failure occurs: an
emergency operation must be organised to
recover the materials load.
IMPORTANT: You must observe the removal
from service recommendations in the lifting
system installation manual.
Removal of BS fall arrest device when used on
load lifting or pulling system:
– set the load on the ground or block the pulled
load by appropriate means,
– withdraw the wire rope from the hoist (see
hoist manual),
– withdraw the wire rope from the fall arrest
device while holding the unlock stirrup raised,
