Overhead Horizontal Lifeline System

January 11, 2013

The Uni-8 overhead horizontal lifeline system fall protection safety product from Capital Safety offers both fall arrest and restraint capabilities using a 1 x 19, 8-millimeter (5/16 inch) stainless-steel cable secured to a structure using a range of anchorage fittings. The two-wheeled attachment carriages are secured to the system during installation and, when in use, move over the intermediate brackets without interruption to make it a hands-free system. The horizontal lifeline system has a minimum breaking strength of more than 8,500 pounds and spans up to 100 feet between intermediate supports. The product has been tested to the EN795 class C standard and meets requirements of AS/NZS, OSHA, ANSI and CSA. Multiple workers up to 308 pounds may be supported. The Uni-8 is available as a single or multispan lifeline. www.capitalsafety.com
