Features & Benefits
EASE OF OPERATION
Operation of the system is simple: The user extends the swing arm into position and ties off to the Self-Retracting Lifeline (SRL) already installed on the system. Once work is completed, the user unhooks from the SRL and simply retracts the swing arm into a retracted position.
ERGONOMIC
By using low friction hinges with aluminum rigid rail track, we make the operation of the foldaway swing arm fall protection system smooth and user friendly.
FALL ARREST CAPABILITY
A self-retracting lifeline connects users to the swing arm system. When the user falls, the lifeline locks and thus arrests a fall.
QUALITY MANUFACTURING
CAI is utilizing the finest craftsman to work on our fall protection products. All systems are fabricated and tested prior to shipping so that minimal downtime is required during field install.
NO INTERFERENCE WITH OVERHEAD CRANE
This System simply extends or retracts with the help of a user control box installed with the system.
ALUMINUM RIGID TRACK
The rigid track on the swing arm system provides free movement of the Self-retracting Lifeline so that the user can move freely over the length of the track, not hindering work performed.
AUTOMATED OR MANUAL OPTIONS
The ability to swing the system in use position or to foldaway when not in use can now be achieved with manual and electric operated options. The manual system is a two person requirement while the automated system only requires one person to operate. Either option is intended allow the user to move the fall protection system at a pace that will support the productivity of your application.
