With a Vacuum Anchor System at your workers’ side, they can anchor to virtually any smooth, non-porous surface simply by flipping a switch and waiting for the green light. So whether they need to repair a skylight atop a locomotive or repaint a section on a water tower, they’ll always be able to quickly, and easily put themselves where they need to be—without putting themselves in danger.
General Usage or Aviation Model?
The main difference between the general use Mobi-Lok and the Aviation specific model is that the aviation model has "skydrol resistant pads" meaning they are more suitable for fragile surfaces. However the general use unit is slightly more suitable for heavier duty usage, as is less likely to become damaged.
Fall Arrest Vs. Fall Restraint.
A Fall Restraint System is like a leash. It restricts its wearer from reaching a point where a fall could occur. In doing so, it also often restricts them from reaching a point where their work could occur. Unlike a Fall Restraint System, a Fall Arrest System can withstand the force of a fallen worker. So workers have all the access and freedom of movement they want, without compromising the safety they need. ALL our Vacuum Anchor Systems are Fall Arrest Rated and approved.
Less Work. More Productivity.
By eliminating the need to drill or weld, our Vacuum Anchor Systems decrease downtime and effort, and increase productivity. Your crew is never more than a few seconds away from having a secure anchor to hook to so they can work quickly and safely.
Lightweight Design. Increased Mobility.
New lightweight design makes the Mobi-Lok™ SCVA easy to transport and use. The new unit is 36% lighter, weighing in at just 9.0 kg and can be taken to the job site for routine maintenance and safety checks.
Worldwide Compliance.
All our Vacuum Anchor Systems are OSHA, CE and AS/NZS compliant, and are independently tested and approved for Fall Arrest applications.
Fail-safe And Foolproof.
All our Vacuum Anchors feature fail-safe back-up systems with audio alarms and a vacuum level indicator for absolute safety and security.
No Scratches. No Dents. No Kidding.
Our Vacuum Anchors feature soft, natural rubber/polybutadiene blend seals which enable them to fasten safely and securely without damaging the work surface.
APPROVED FOR HORIZONTAL LIFELINE USE.
Create a continuous anchor point for added safety and mobility by simply connecting a horizontal lifeline between two or more Vacuum Anchor Pads. Two person capacity.
