The mechanism has been made easier to use & The Blocfor™ 5 ESD retractable fall arrester is equipped with an energy dissipater mounted at the end of the webbing. The dissipater ensures user impact in the event of a fall of less than 600 daN even when the webbing is fully unwound. The Extremity System Dissipator (ESD) reduces the dynamic load impacted on the user’s body in the event of a fall. It protects the webbing from the risk of cuts which could occur due to the sharp edges sometimes present on terrace roofs.
With its impressive reel capacity of 5 metres of webbing, this fall arrester is more lightweight, more compact and most importantly safer than the other fall arresters currently available on the market. For this reason, it is highly recommended by Lifting Equipment Store.
