Tractel Elytrac "HT Promast" Rope Access Fall Arrest Safety Harness with Front and Rear 'D' Rings & Work Positioning Belt

Unfortunately this harness has been superseded by a newer model of the HT Promast Harness.

This harness designed for professionals carrying out high-level work on aerials, for emergency operations.

The promast harness has all possible options and meets most requirements demanded by users who regularly carry out high level-work.

Comfort is of cause very important for the user when he is suspended in the harness for hours.

The first requirement for a harness is that it will hold the user in the event of a fall , without causing serious injuries. the following design criteria meets this requirement.

• Good distribution of the loads between the thigh strap (70%) and the belt (30%).
• Relatively flexible back and chest anchorage points to prevent the body bouncing when the wearer falls head first.
• The thoracic strap ensures that the body is kept in an upright position following a fall.
• The shoulder straps are posistioned well away from the neck to avaoid cutting the wearer.

The second requirement for the promast harness is that it is comfortable when the user is working suspended in the harness in a seated position.

• The belt and thigh strap are padded.
• The thigh strap is held at the front by straps which pass over the buttocks rather then under the crotch and at the back by stretch straps which allow the user to take up a seated position.
• The belt and thigh strap are adjusted using quick-adjustment buckles so that the harness can be fitted to the user's build.
• The length of the shoulder strap and the thora-cic strap is adjustable.

The promast harness has four anchorage points.

• 1 : A metal D ring back anchorage point for attaching a stopfor or a blocfor type fall arrest device.
• 2 : A webbing loop chest anchorage point for attaching a fall arrest device. This anchorage point is preferable to the back anchorage point as it is more comfortable in the event of a fall.
• 3: A stomach anchorage point for attaching a rescue descender or a fall arrester on rail or on wire rope. Caution : attachment of a sliding texti-le rope grab or retractable lanyard fall arrester to this anchorage point is prohibited.
• 4: Two side anchorage points for attaching pole strap.
