  • Publication number: 20250067070
    Abstract: The modular free-standing ballasted guardrail system is a versatile and adaptable safety solution designed to protect personnel working at heights, particularly on rooftops. Comprising a support foot, attachable stanchion, leverage bar, and counterweight bases, the system offers flexibility through multiple configurations. T-head bolts preferably facilitate a modular assembly process, allowing easy attachment of the stanchion, leverage bar, and counterweights to the foot. The counterweight bases, which may be made of durable material like HDPE filled with cement or water, provide stability without penetrating the roof surface. The support foot may feature channels for slidable receipt of the stanchion and leverage bar, ensuring adjustability. Optional toe boards enhance safety by preventing the fall of objects.

  • Patent number: 12023530
    Abstract: A structural post for fall arrest and rope access has a baseplate having baseplate fixing holes. A vertical mast is attached to an upper surface of the baseplate, and a main attachment plate comprising main attachment plate fixing holes is affixed to an upper end of the mast. The structural post may be mounted to concrete floor garden landscapes, steel structures and the like on high-rise buildings, for fall arrest and rope access, and which facilitates versatility and adaptability for various locations and applications, for construction, beside cleaning and other building and maintenance activities.

  • Publication number: 20240124274
    Abstract: An extendable needle davit assembly has an extendable beam comprising a fixed beam portion, and a telescopic beam portion slidably receivable within a distal end of the fixed beam portion. An intermediate lateral bracing frame holds the extendable beam at an angle. The fixed beam portion is a single-piece construction, and a proximal end of the fixed beam portion is anchored. An upper end of the bracing frame is attached to a distal attachment point of the fixed beam portion, such that a distal portion of the fixed beam portion extends beyond the bracing frame. A lower portion of the bracing frame is attached to a proximal attachment point of the fixed beam portion by means of a rear brace.

  • Publication number: 20240100373
    Abstract: A fall protection safety rail system has a rail defining a trolley channel therein. The rail also defines exterior side and top attachment channels. The system has a support which engages the side attachment channels to support the rail either side thereof. One type of support may comprise a hanger channel bracket having a web and flanges spaced apart so that the flanges fit against the sides of the rail. The side and top attachment channels may be dual-purposed for connecting rail sections together using respective splices. Furthermore, the side attachment channels may overlap with the trolley channel along a vertical axis but not along a horizontal axis to confer a low profile rail configuration having enhanced resilience and capability.

  • Publication number: 20240100374
    Abstract: A height safety trolley and modular rigid rail system for construction and maintenance personnel working at height is designed to allow continuous, smooth and fail-safe operation, for fall restraint and fall arrest, rope access and abseil. The height safety trolley has a connection arm, a clip body and a main chassis operably interfacing a rail engagement mechanism, movable between a rail engagement position to engage a rigid rail, and a disengagement position to disengage the rigid rail. The rail engagement mechanism may comprise integral pivot arms which close simultaneously inwards to engage the rigid rail and outwards to disengage the rail. As such, the trolley is easily and safely attachable and detachable at any position along the rigid rail.
