Things to know about lifeline systems for fall protection

Fall protection with LUX-top® lifeline systems

When working in areas where there is a risk of falling, they must be equipped with appropriate fall protection to prevent or minimize falls and injuries. Rope safety systems are ideal as they can be installed on walls, roofs and façades as well as on the ground or overhead. In combination with personal protective equipment against falls from a height (PPE) LUX-top® systems offer a high level of comfort at work and guarantee the necessary safety for the user.

Do you need a safety system for your roof? We are the specialists for fall protection systems of all kinds and will be happy to advise you on your individual project or special constructions. With us, you are safe and flexible on the roof!

Functionality of lifeline systems as fall protection

First of all, it is important to differentiate between horizontal and vertical lifeline systems. Vertical systems are mainly used as climbing protection (for example on ladders), while horizontal lifeline systems are a popular solution for flat roof fall protection. Horizontal systems can also be installed overhead and used as a restraint system or fall arrest system.

A horizontal lifeline system is an anchorage device consisting of at least two individual anchorage points between which a stainless steel cable is tensioned. The person to be secured can then attach their PPE to the rope system using a lanyard that is adjustable in length or a non-adjustable lanyard with a maximum length of 2 m, which also contains a shock absorber. With intermediate points that can be driven over and curved elements, the lifeline system is ideal for use as fall protection on large roof areas. It is therefore also frequently used to secure flat roofs.

The system is available as a freely traversable or non-traversable version. The traversable lifeline systems are particularly practical, as there is no need to constantly rehang the PPE between the anchorage points. A rope guide and a suitable rope glider, which simply passes over the intermediate holders, provide permanent protection when working on the roof. The person to be secured can work flexibly and with concentration without having to neglect their own safety.

According to DIN EN 795, anchorage devices are classified into five different types. Rope fall arrest systems correspond to type C, while functionally similar rail systems are classified as type D. Instead of a stainless steel cable, rails form the basis of the fall protection in these systems.

LUX-top® lifeline systems

Our horizontal cable system LUX-top® FSE 2003 (diameter: 8 mm) is made of stainless steel and is available in a freely traversable or non-traversable version. In combination with LUX-top® anchor points and thanks to an extensive range of accessories, the lifeline system is suitable for every conceivable installation situation. Mounted on pitched, industrial or flat roofs, up to 6 people can be secured against falling at the same time with a single rope system.

Additional components

In addition to the basic components of our lifeline system, we offer additional components for the traversable version. In addition to the basic components such as the stainless steel cable, cable force holders and tensioning elements, there are various horizontal cable guides with corresponding cable gliders adapted to the installation situation.

Certification

In order to meet the highest standards, all our lifeline systems undergo factory production control (FPC) in accordance with EN 1090-2. The production of fall protection systems meets the highest standards thanks to the certification of the manufacturer ST QUADRAT Fall Protection S.A. in accordance with ISO 9001 and EN 1090-2. Our lifeline systems have general technical approval (abZ) and general type approval (aBG) from the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt) and meet the requirements of DIN EN 795:2012 type C. This DIN EN regulates the technical requirements for anchorage devices for use with PPE and classifies the various anchorage devices into types A to E.

FAQ - Questions and answers about fall protection with a lifeline system

What should be considered when installing a lifeline system?

Installation may only be carried out by qualified specialist personnel and must be carried out using the appropriate fixing materials supplied. The installation must also be carefully checked afterwards.

Where are lifeline systems suitable as fall protection?

Due to the long lengths that are possible with such systems, lifelines are particularly suitable for large roofs. Another advantage is that several people can be secured at the same time. If you are not sure whether a lifeline system with ropes is the right choice for your project, please contact us!
