HELIXON-S Retractable fall arrester with polymer casing in galvanised steel

HELIXON-S 7 m is a self-retracting fall arrester with a galvanised steel wire rope and integrated FA 20 EXO 07 exoskeleton for working in both vertical and horizontal environments. The robust construction ensures high operational reliability, low arrest force, and smooth handling.

The durable polymer casing is equipped with carrying handles and a removable inspection window which allows access to the internal mechanism for inspection without opening the entire casing. The 4.8 mm galvanised steel wire is fitted with a connector with a fall indicator, a grip handle, and an external fall arrester. An internal braking mechanism limits the arresting force to below 6 kN, contributing to increased user safety. The product is approved for persons up to 140 kg and can be used both vertically and horizontally.
