Abseiling Anchors (commonly known as ‘Mushroom Posts’) are a versatile solution to enable rope access. The system is designed to be fixable to various surface structures and materials, to create safe access to both internal and external spaces. If a planned cleaning and maintenance strategy exists for the building, regular access will be required to the façade. However the structure of the roof and general location of the building may make the installation of a Davit arm system impractical. The fall arrest anchor enables trained rope access operatives to perform cleaning and maintenance tasks regularly even if space is limited on the roof structure.
Mobile Man Anchors are a temporary solution for locations where it is not possible to permanently fit either Collective Edge or Personal Fall Protection.
Man anchor utilises a central pedestal to provide total fall protection for a single worker for fall arrest or two workers in restraint if they remain at least 1000mm away from the fall hazard. It is designed for use with personal protection equipment, such as a harness and lanyard.
For use on all roof surfaces, including single-ply membrane, asphalt, concrete, stone chippings (brushed) and mineral felt. Man anchors features base weights fully encased in rubber moulding to prevent the pads from peeling at the edges.
Dead Weight Trolley Systems provide an adaptable, flexible and cost-effective alternative to fixed suspended abseil access systems such as davit arms. This ensures that the system is suitable for buildings and projects with irregular façade maintenance requirements.
The dead weight trolley is an effective system for enabling rope access cleaning and maintenance on listed buildings as it is portable and does not need to be permanently fixed to the roof. This standalone unit offers a non-destructive alternative to a davit arm system – the installation of which would require the roofs’ structure to be penetrated and the building’s exterior envelope aesthetics to be altered.
The system is particularly effective when a parapet wall features as part of the building’s structure (not including Collective Edge Protection systems). The temporary dead weight trolleys can be adjusted to the height of the wall, ensuring that the top bar is just higher than the copings – 450mm minimum and 1,200mm maximum upstands.
For projects where standard systems do not meet your Work at Height requirements, bespoke solutions are available.
At HANSON International we have industry specific expertise and capabilities to manufacture bespoke solutions for your safety at height and building maintenance needs.
Working from your initial enquiry and specification, our experts will determine the most appropriate solution to your needs, whether it is from our existing product range or a unique fabricated package tailored to your specific requirements.
• Rope access allows for installation within areas where scaffolding or other access methods are inappropriate, costly or unsafe.
• Rope access is recognized as the safest method of working at heights.
• Faster and easier method, where access is limited.
