Guard Load Arrestors
Detail
Guard load arrestors are heavy-duty fall load arrest blocks for protecting equipment that is suspended at height.
Load arrestors provide a secondary safety back-up for overhead loads, used in conjunction with a primary lifting device or support, such as a hoist or fixed anchorage. If the primary support fails, the load arrestor will automatically stop the load from falling, thereby preventing damage to the load and, more importantly, protecting people below.
Guard load arrestors have a high-strength retractable rope that extracts and retracts, following the movement of the load. This means Guards can be fitted to equipment that needs to be moved (dynamic loads), as well as to non-moving (static) loads.
