PATROL + TOWER

PATROL + TOWER is a lifeline system that is very flexible to use when installed on timber, concrete or steel structures. It features a TOWER support in various heights, and is designed to deform in a controlled manner. This helps to reduce the load on the anchor points and the load-bearing components of the structure in the event of a fall.

The TOWER support has an elastoplastic behaviour. This means it can bend in a predictable way when subjected to force. It therefore reduces the forces passing from the system to the fixings and to the supporting structure. The heights of the support range from 300 to 800 millimetres. This makes it possible to adapt the installation to different roof thicknesses. The compact and cylindrical shape means the support is visually unobtrusive. The system can handle loads in all directions, i.e. 360 degrees, and also pull-out forces.

FAQ

What surfaces can PATROL + TOWER be installed on?

It can be installed on load-bearing structures of wood, concrete or steel.

What height is the TOWER support at?

The TOWER support is available in heights between 300 and 800 millimetres. This makes it possible to adapt it to different roof types and installation requirements.

How does the TOWER support work in the event of a fall?

The support is built so that it can deform in a controlled manner. When subjected to a force, such as in a fall, the controlled deformation results in less force being applied to the fixings and the structure supporting the system.
