PREREQUISITES AND LIMITATIONS
The R27 trolley and components have been designed to support any accidental operator fall. In order to
guarantee its correct operation, and maintain the mechanical integrity in case of fall, each user must wear the
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) recommended by workplace safety regulations.
All PPE must be certified and marked according to the relevant national regulations. By using the personal
protective equipment, in case of a fall, the force transmitted to the operator (and consequently to the trolley
sliding on the rail) will be no greather than a maximum 6 kN. Personal fall arrest systems include, but are not
limited to: a energy-absorbing mechanism, lanyard and a full body harness to limit the maximum arresting
force to 6 kN.
Personal Fall-arrest systems used with this equipment must meet controlling regulations for the country of use.
Fall clearance - There must be sufficient clearance below the user to arrest a fall before the user strikes the
ground or other obstruction and it consists of the stopping distance plus the free space of 1 m under the feet
of the user. See appropriate documentation published by regulatory authority.
Fall clearance
WARNING!
It is essential for safety to verify the fall clearence required beneath the user at the work place
before each occasion of use so that, in the case of a fall, there will be no collision with the ground
or other obstacle in the fall path.
WARNING!
The maximum value of deflection of the trolley and displacement of the anchor point that can occur
in service is 20 mm. Consider this value in order to evaluate the fall clearnce correctly.
WARNING!
The maximun value of loads that could be transmitted in service from the trolley to the structure
in the horizontal and perpendicular directions are 9 KN.
WARNING!
The use of non-compliant PPE can result in severe injuries, including death.
