J-Safe CatchFall is a site based fall arrest system developed to prevent falls from trailers carrying loads that are stacked high, i.e. structual steel, formwork or scaffolding equipment, site accomodation etc. that cannot be slung without climbing onto the load.

The system provides an overhead anchorage point for the slinger onto which a harness is connected to a fall arrest block.

The system is positioned on height adjustable platforms and is delivered complete with concrete counterbalance weights. The supplied cargo ladder ensures safe ascent and descent on andf off the trailer bed.

Catchfall is available for Hire or Sale,

System Specification A single CatchFall unit is used for trailer lengths up to 6,000mm. For longer trailers two CatchFall units are used in conjunction usually spaced 6,000mm apart.
Performance An operative can self connect and move freely on the ground, climb the load without system adjustment or impediment. Once attached the automatic arrest will activate at any point on the trailer bed. Traveling arrest blocks ensure that the operative is within 1,000mm of the vertical arrest suspension point providing improved fall arrest.
Standards CatchFall exceeds BS EN 795 Class B regulations. This incorporated a static 1,000kg test and a dynamic 100kg test through 2,500mm. Special operating tests have also been developed to ensure optimum fall arrest performance.
