Should you choose a fall arrester or a safety rope for working at heights?

In the process of working at heights, people often take certain safety measures in order to prevent accidental falls.

Next, Zhonghui fall arrester will talk about these two equipments with you.

These two types of equipment have the same points: first, they are both used as anti-fall measures for high-altitude work; second, the scope of operation, whether vertical or horizontal, will be subject to certain restrictions; third, both need to be fixed during use. In a firm position; the fourth is the national standard requirements, the load is 100kg; the fifth is to be equipped with seat belts.

The differences between these two types of equipment: First, when the impact force of the accident is different, one of the important indicators of the qualification requirements of the fall arrester is that the impact force must be less than 6.0kN, while the safety rope has no clear requirements for the impact force, only requires The safety rope can withstand a certain tension, and if the impact is too large, it will cause certain damage to the human body. Second, the working height is different. The maximum length of the fall arrester can be 50 meters, so the working height is only within 50 meters. The working height of the safety rope can be adjusted and the rope length can exceed 50 meters. The sensitivity of the fall arrester is higher than that of the safety rope, and it can be locked in time when the speed changes.
