6. Associated equipment
To ensure its safety function, the Tractel
devices 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 device must be CE certified, manufactured in
compliance with PPE Regulation 2016/425. Tractel
distributes a range of PPE satisfying the requirements
of this regulation and compatible with the Tractel
anchor devices.
The Tractel anchor devices can only be used with
®
a single fall-arrest PPE under the terms of PPE
Regulation 2016/425.
7. Preliminary study
For correct operation of the Tractel
and by extension the entire fall arrest system, it is
imperative to comply with the following requirements on
the anchor point installation structures.
The maximum load that can be carried in use by these
anchoring devices to the beam is 6 kN and is applied
perpendicular to the beam axis through the guide rollers
(Figure 1, Item 1).

anchor devices,
®
The steel anchoring beam (I or H) on which the anchor
device is installed must be able to handle a load of
13 kN along the entire distance planned for the anchor
device (fig. 4).
If more than one anchor device point are on the
same beam, the installer must ensure that the
beam and the carrier structure will withstand a
simultaneous fall of all the operators in all possible
usage situations.
In the event of any doubt concerning the strength of
the beam and/or the supporting structure, a preliminary
study must first be carried out by a specialized
technician, qualified for materials strength, before
installing the anchor device. The study must be
supported by a design note and take account of
all applicable regulations, trade practices, and the
information given in this manual, both as concerns the
anchor point and the PPE which will be connected to the
anchor devices. This manual must therefore be handed
over to the technician or engineering department in
charge of the preliminary study.
Before installing the anchor device, the installer must
ensure that the anchoring beam satisfies the following
requirements along the entire planned length "C"
(fig. 4):
– The beam must be in good condition.
– The beam must have a constant width and thickness.
– The beam must be free of any obstacles which could
®
block or restrain the rollclamp or rollbeam anchor
device when moving.
®
Before installing the rollclamp or rollbeam anchor
device, the installer must first check that the
inclination of the beam is less than 2° (fig. 4). The
installer must also check that the beam is equipped
at each end with a travel limit stop (fig. 4, item 11)
for the rollclamp and rollbeam anchor point.
8. Installation
8.1. Preliminary requirements
1. The anchor devices must be installed by a qualified
installer.
2. The anchor devices must only be installed and used
in compliance with the applicable regulations of the
country in which the system is installed.
