QUICK-TO-INSTALL CABLE-BASED SYSTEM
December 1st 2003

Towersayf is a permanent fall arrest system developed by Sala for the electricity and telecom industries.

Cable-based, it provides protection from falling during maintenance on installations such as pylons, towers and masts, and can be used by four operators simultaneously.

Quick and easy to install, it uses existing step bolts for secure top and intermediate bracket attachment along the climbing area.

The user is attached to a tensioned steel cable, that is automatically released from the intermediate brackets as he/she passes by and then springs back into place. Shock absorbers are built into the cable grab, which locks onto the cable in the event of a fall.

The fall arrest grab housing is made from high strength 316 stainless steel and the dipped galvanised top bracket has been tested to 50kn.
