MSA Safety is now offering a first-of-its-kind temporary horizontal lifeline that can help save time on projects through its intuitive and toolless installation features.
MSA says its new Temporary Horizontal Lifeline allows for a 75 per cent faster installation compared to traditional cable systems. The system’s integrated locking and tensioning mechanism eliminates the need for nuts, bolts and wrenches, a key feature that makes the system significantly easier and faster to install because there is no need for tools.
“Our new Temporary Horizontal Lifeline was designed to address how long it took workers to install a traditional lifeline system by making this easier to use, but without sacrificing the level of safety for workers at height,” said Gustavo Lopez, MSA Safety’s General Manager of Industrial Products & Vice President of Connected Services.
“This new system is lighter and easier to maneuver, and can be easily set up by one person, allowing the worker to spend more time on the job rather than setting up their systems.”
With locking and tensioning mechanisms on the same side, workers no longer need to travel back and forth during the set up. The new device also incorporates clear visual indicators to show when the system is properly installed. Designed to be adaptable to an ever-changing project, the flexible, lightweight cable makes installation easier, plus MSA’s patented bypass shuttles allow two users to maintain 100 percent tie-off while passing one another on the same line.
“Most horizontal lifelines on the market today are heavy, time-consuming to install, and require several tools,” Lopez said. “MSA’s new Temporary Horizontal Lifeline, however, is designed to be simple, intuitive, and faster to save companies time and money while helping to keep their workers safe.”
It is available in 60- and 100-foot lengths. To learn more about the new Temporary Horizontal Lifeline click here.
