Temporary Suspended Access System For Long Descents. Powered or Manual Operation, Designed to Our Customers Specific Needs.

SELS offer our this mobile / temporary access man riding system with independent fall arrest facility and manual rescue winch for applications specifically where a long lift height is needed offering a maximum working height of 90 metres. This kit of parts it is designed / tailored specifically to suit our customers individual needs and the illustration is only to help demonstrate how the system could work; it offers maximum portability and can be set-up in scenarios where using a fall arrest retriever block is simply not possible due the the excessive working height. For example a fall arrest retriever inertia reel is only available up to maximum rope length of 40 metres.

This set-up is particularly useful when it is not possible to use a gantry or Tripod as the anchoring devise by utilising the roof structure or overhead steelwork to create a suitable anchorage point. Its worth mentioning that we also offer this system complete with either an aluminium gantry or a tripod!

The manriding hoist is avaliable as a manual 2 speed hand winch or as electric or battery powered (also having a manual back-up handle). The longest rope that can be fitted to the hoist is 90 metres. The powered or manual hoist safety provides means of suspended man access / egress; i.e. lifting the worker in and out of the confined space.

When a person is suspended while working at height there is the always a risk of falling due to equipment / winch failure and therefore the manriding system should incorporate means of arresting a potential fall - The Fall arrest plan! The system must also incorporate a way to retrieve the casualty after the arrested fall - the rescue plan!

For this manriding application (suspended work at height) we offer an independent fall arrest system; we use a fall arrest devise on an independent cable that is connected to the user with a lanyard. The fall arrest block relies on the manual intervention for it to be able to move up and down the independent rope; like a dead mans handle! If the user lets go of the lever on the fall arrest block it will no slide on the rope.

Once a fall has happened the rescue winch is then used to raise the casualty to safety. As a 'second back-up' the independent rope is also anchored with another arrestor.

It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the suitability and strength of the anchorage points for the application.
