Communication Towers

Latchways Mansafe for Billboards and Towers offers outstanding fall arrest protection for individuals working at height. The inherent flexibility of the design allows a system to be installed so that it follows the contours of the structure including horizontal and inclined sections.

Latchways Mansafe fall arrest products include a series of unique cable based systems designed specifically for the utility and telecommunications industries. Key features of the mansafe for towers range include:

• Suitable for installation in all environments.
  
• Operation is not affected by snow, ice or adverse weather conditions.
  
• Can be installed on all types of steel lattice structures and towers, masts and monopoles.
  
• Unobtrusive, lightweight and flexible.
  
• Can be retrofitted to existing towers or installed as part of a new build program.
  
• Will support up to four workers on a single line.
  
• Unique latchways TowerLatch unit with patented starwheel design rotates freely over intermediate cable guides to enable continuous hands free protection.
  
• The Tower Latch unit can be attached or detached at any point on the cable to allow workers to pass.
  

Configuration
The system has three different fixing methods to enable installation on pylon legs and steel lattice structures, ladders or monopoles:

• Special banding straps allow the system to be installed directly onto monopole or mast type structures.
  
• Standard universal clamp fits all pylon leg and L-shaped latticework from 2".
  
• A choice of attachment kits allows installation onto different shaped ladder rungs and ladder stringers.
  

Systems can be designed to accommodate horizontal and inclined sections for rest platforms and cross arms. Specially designed V Xtenda (shock absorber) allows annual inspection to be carried out from the ground or by helicopter. Bottom anchor includes a cable clamp and tensioning device to allow swage free installation. A tension indicator disk clearly shows the correct system pre-tension.
