The rollclamp fall-arrest safety system is a portable
mansafe fall-arrest anchor point. The system is fast and
easy to set up. One of the main advantages of this
equipment is that it can be secured at either the upper
or lower part of the anchoring beam. It can be installed
on a wide range of anchoring beams of varying lengths
and heights.
The rollclamp anchor point is certified per standard
EN 795-B: 1996 + A1: 2000
provisional anchor point for 1 person.

6. Associated equipment

To ensure its safety function, the rollclamp anchor
system must be used in association with a fall-arrest
personal protective equipment (PPE) connected to the
anchor point. The PPE equipment associated to the
anchor point must be CE certi fied, manufactured in
compliance with Directive 89/686/CEE, and used in
compliance with Directive 89/656/CEE. Tractel
distributes a range of PPE satisfying the requirements
of the se directives and compatible with the rollclamp
anchor system.
DANGER: The rollclamp anchor system can
only be used with a single fall-arrest PPE under the
terms of Directive 89/686/CEE.

7. Preliminary study

To ensure correct operation of the rollclamp anchor
system, and therefore of the overall fall-arrest safety
system, the following requirements must be satisfied on
the anchor point installation structures and surfaces.
The steel anchoring beam (I or H) on which the
rollclamp anchor point is installed must be able to
handle a load of 10 kN along the entire travel distance
planned for the anchor point (fig. 4).
DANGER: If several rollclamp anchor points are
