WHAT IS A LOAD ARRESTOR?
Utilised in conjunction with a primary lifting application such as a crane or hoist, Fall Arrest Systems have been designed to offer the correct support should your primary lifting device fail.
Implemented as a last resort, these products can be simply compared to the functionality of a seatbelt – when it receives a certain amount of force, it will automatically lock into place.
When your primary device fails, and the load begins to decent, a Load Arrestor senses that the load is travelling at a ‘falling speed’ therefore the mechanical brake activates. Upon activation, the load instantly, yet safely, slows down until the complete suspension of the load occurs, before hitting the ground below."
