Travspring® – Horizontal lifeline system for stanchion posts

TRAVSPRING^® – HORIZONTAL LIFELINE SYSTEM FOR STANCHION POSTS

The Travspring^® is a horizontal lifeline system that is easy to install and can allow up to two users when used with stanchion posts. These systems can be permanent or temporary and no special tools are required to install. Every user must wear shock absorbing lanyard with maximum arrest force of 900 lb. (4 kN).

It comes with a visual tension indicator and a new in-line energy absorber. This is a proximity horizontal lifeline system meaning that the user must wear a double lanyard harness to leap-frog over corner anchors and manipulate the O-ring through intermediate anchors in order to traverse the length of the lifeline.

As with all fall protection systems, a professional engineer or a qualified person must certify the design and installation of the lifeline. The system can be mounted on a wall or on the ground. It must not be used as an overhead system.

When a fall occurs, the energy absorber deploys or un-winds acting as the visual indicator that something has happened.
