Unique fall protection for slab formwork
The new mobile fall arrest system ‘ALPHA ANCHOR’ from SpanSet has been specially developed for fall protection during slab formwork work. It is characterised by its wide range of flexible application options and is approved for up to two people and from a fall height of 2 m
As an expert, SpanSet always endeavours to support its customers in the daily challenges of fall protection so that they can carry out their work safely and economically. The mobile anchorage devices in the ALPHA ANCHOR series from SpanSet enable safe working on fall edges and can be customised to suit any situation. All ALPHA ANCHOR systems are easy to use and therefore require little training for new users.
ALPHA ANCHOR-B
The ALPHA ANCHOR-B mobile anchorage system forms the basis. A free-standing system that can be used immediately as a fall arrest system or restraint system without anchoring to the structure. In addition, the ALPHA ANCHOR-B mobile anchorage device can also be used as a rescue system, thereby simplifying the creation of the prescribed rescue concept.
ALPHA ANCHOR-D und ALPHA ANCHOR-L
The ALPHA ANCHOR-D consists of two base anchor points into which one or two 360° swivelling outriggers are inserted and the ALPHA ANCHOR-L consists of two base anchor points that are connected with a 16 m long horizontal lifeline. The systems can be easily moved using a hand pallet truck or a crane with suitable lifting equipment. The modular design of all ALPHA ANCHOR systems also simplifies transport and storage.
ALPHA ANCHOR systems also impress with their low costs when it comes to the mandatory annual inspection, as all components can be visually inspected with the exception of the retractable type fall arresters.
Modularity and flexibility for maximum safety
The ALPHA ANCHOR fall arrest system was developed according to the needs and input of the construction and safety industry at SpanSet's own test centre and certified in accordance with EN795:2012 Type E and CEN/TS 16415:2013 Type E. It is characterised by its wide range of flexible and mobile application options for up to two people at the same time. All system components were planned and manufactured in Switzerland in order to guarantee an economical and safe solution as well as extensions for the user.
