DBI-Sala FlexiGuard fall protection access systems and Retrieval SRL hitch mount

Capital Safety has launched the FlexiGuard Access Systems range.

DBI-Sala’s FlexiGuard fall protection access systems provide the user with a mobile overhead anchorage point that can be moved around from application to application, suitable for situations where an overhead structure is unreachable or does not exist.

With seven access systems in the range, each is robustly built and typically rated for up to at least two users. Fixed or adjustable in height, they provide an active fall protection solution for a wide range of applications.

The systems provide a complete turnkey solution from start to finish that meets the requirements of a specific application. Each system is delivered with detailed operation manuals and instructions for use, tailored specifically to each piece of equipment, site and use.

The company has also released the Retrieval SRL Hitch Mount designed for protection.

It has been purpose built as a temporary and highly mobile mounting point to fit a retrieval self-retracting lifeline or winch, for use in a horizontal or sloped plane. Designed to fit into a 50 mm Hayman Reese motor vehicle tow hitch, the system provides an effective fall arrest and retrieval system to work over leading edges such as mine stopes, dam walls or other locations with inclined planes.

Powder coated in high-visibility safety yellow, the device comes complete with two fall arrest-rated anchor points, redirection pulley and guide, tow hitch locator hole and winch/SRL mount. Set-up involves simply inserting the device into the tow hitch and securing, attaching the winch/SRL and connecting up to a full body harness.

Constructed from durable corrosion-resistant material with stainless steel fittings, the system is high strength and meets the requirements of AS/NZS 1891.4. DBI-Sala’s i-Safe intelligent safety system using RFID technology is built into the device to track inspections, control inventory and manage information.
