Tractel Tirsafe Temporary Steel Wire Line Fall Arrest Horizontal Lifeline

Temporary Wire Rope Horizontal Lifeline

The Tirsafe™ is an energy absorber for temporary horizontal lifeline systems (HLLs) that can accommodate up to 3 workers. It is the first in the industry to incorporate a tension indicator that lets you know when your line is correctly tensioned.

The Tirsafe™ energy absorber consists of a specially developed polymer conical sleeve with 100% memory retention. Running through the centre of this special sleeve is a stainless steel axle with ball-peen termination. When the system is subject to a force of a fall, the axle runs through the conical sleeve, controlling the impact force on the anchorage.

The deployment activation force and tension indicator aspects of the Tirsafe™ result from tension spring/housing resistance. This clever design indicates correct tension when the knurled ring appears in the indicator window.

The Tirafe™ energy absorber offers the unique advantage of resetting. After activation or deployment, the Tirsafe™ is reconditioned and placed back into service (through an authorised service centre).

Benefits

• The Tirsafe™ energy absorber is designed to be used within a 65 ft. (20 m) single-span HLL.
• On longer lengths, up to 300 ft. (100 m), intermediate supports capable of sustaining 3,600 lbs (1,630 kg) must be used every 50 ft. (15 m).
• Tested for up to three persons' use within horizontal lifeline systems up to 300 ft. (100 m).

• Three workers

Applications

• Steel erection
• Pipe racks
• Installation of concrete flooring
• Roof work
• Manufacturing facilities
• Transport maintenance (marine, aircraft…)

Warnings

• When selecting an anchorage point, there must be sufficient clearance below the user to arrest a fall before this user strikes the ground or other obstruction.
• Ensure that the anchorage to which the worker is attached is capable of sustaining the fall arrest forces requested when designed, installed and used under the supervision of a qualified person.
• When used, the Tirsafe™ must be properly tensioned, as indicated in the indicator window, and positioned with a maximum angle of 5 degrees from the horizontal.
• Clearance – There must be sufficient clearance below the user to arrest a fall before this user strikes the ground or other obstruction. The clearance required depends on the following factors:
  
  a) height of the Tirsafe™ anchorage points;
  b) connection subsystem (shock-absorbing lanyard) length;
  c) deceleration distance;
  d) movement of the harness attachment element;
  e) worker height;
  f) free fall distance.
• Never connect two or more Tirsafe™ systems to one another.
