Mobile Fall Protection Systems are a great solution when there’s no place for workers to tie-off for fall protection! However, the mounting and positioning of self-retracting lifelines (SRL’s) on mobile fall protection carts is problematic.
Problem #1: Currently, SRL’s are NOT being positioned according to manufacturer guidelines on mobile fall protection carts! According to DBI/Sala’s guidelines for SRL use in horizontal or near horizontal applications, “The SRL should be positioned on it’s edge, rather than laid flat, to prevent uneven spooling of the lifeline and to benefit retraction.” (Source:
Capital Safety Technical Bulletin No. SRL001, read point #1).
Solution: The AES Raptor SRL Tray… Meets manufacturer guidelines for SRL use by keeping the SRL in the proper position.
Problem #2: Dragging an SRL can potentially damage the SRL AND damage the surface of the roof! SRL’s are left to hang off the side of fall protection carts and are often dragged across the roof surface when repositioning the cart.
Solution: The AES Raptor SRL Tray… Prevents damage to SRL’s AND damage to the roof surface by keeping the SRL’s above the roof surface.
In addition to solving the problems listed above, the SRL-Tray:
- Installs easily to all existing AES Raptor fall protection carts
- Requires no complex assembly
- Simply bolts on over guide box
- Is spring loaded to fold up when not in use
- Can be used for 1 to 3 SRL’s
- Has separate channels for each SRL
- Keeps SRL’s upright and off the roof surface and membrane
- Prevents uneven spooling of SRL and benefits SRL retraction
- Are painted ‘Warning Orange’ for easy visibility
Whether you already have a mobile fall protection solution or you’re shopping for a new one, make sure the AES Raptor SRL Tray is there to help protect your SRL’s and your workers!
