Product Overview
In the high-stakes environment of working at height, safety is non-negotiable. The Temporary 20m Horizontal Lifeline is a robust anchorage solution designed for those who require mobility without compromising on security. Spanning up to 20 metres, this system provides a reliable path for professionals navigating elevated structures. It has been engineered with a focus on ease of deployment, ensuring that safety does not come at the expense of productivity on-site.
Key Features
- Extended 20-Metre Reach: The generous length allows for coverage across wide work areas, reducing the need for frequent re-positioning of anchorage points.
- Dual-Worker Capacity: This system is rigorously tested to support up to two workers simultaneously, facilitating efficient teamwork in hazardous environments.
- Rapid Installation: Designed for quick setup, the lifeline can be elevated and secured promptly, which is essential for temporary worksites and changing project requirements.
- Certified Safety Standards: Fully compliant with EN 795:2012 Type C, providing the assurance that this equipment meets stringent European safety requirements for anchorage devices.
Design & Performance
The performance of any lifeline rests entirely on the quality of its components. This system utilises high-tenacity polyester webbing, chosen for its exceptional tensile strength and resistance to the elements. This material ensures that the line remains taut and reliable throughout its use, even when subjected to the varied conditions of a British building site.
Supporting the polyester line are components manufactured from heat-treated alloy steel. This specific treatment process enhances the steel's structural integrity and durability, providing the necessary strength to withstand significant forces. The substantial build of the hardware ensures a secure connection to your primary anchorage points, giving users the confidence required when working in exposed positions.
Why No Customisation?
At MyWorkwear, we take safety as seriously as you do. This Temporary Horizontal Lifeline is a piece of life-critical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Any form of customisation, such as embroidery or heat-applied printing, could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the polyester webbing or obscure vital safety markings. To ensure the equipment performs exactly as intended in the event of a fall, we provide this item in its original, certified state only.
Use Cases
This lifeline is an essential tool for construction professionals, roofing contractors, and tree surgeons who operate in environments where permanent fall protection is not available. It is particularly suited for bridge work, steelwork erection, and maintenance tasks where horizontal movement across an elevated span is required.
Why MyWorkwear
MyWorkwear has been a cornerstone of the UK workwear industry since 1976. Based in Telford, our decades of expertise allow us to curate a range of safety equipment that professionals can trust. We understand the technical requirements of the modern tradesperson and provide only the kit that meets our high standards for performance and reliability.
Practical Advice
When installing the lifeline, ensure that the anchorage points used are capable of withstanding the potential loads specified in the technical documentation. Always perform a pre-use inspection to check for signs of wear or damage to the webbing. While this system allows for two workers, ensure that the total weight and potential fall distance are calculated correctly for the specific site conditions.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the condition of your fall protection equipment is vital for ensuring its continued safety performance. We recommend regular visual inspections to identify any cuts, abrasions, or chemical contamination that could weaken the polyester fibres. If the equipment is neglected, its load-bearing capacity may be significantly reduced, posing a severe risk to the user.
Clean the webbing only with a mild soap and water solution if it becomes soiled. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or solvents, as these can degrade the synthetic materials and compromise the lifeline's strength. Always allow the equipment to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, as excessive heat can cause the fibres to become brittle.
Store the lifeline in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light can cause UV degradation, which weakens the webbing over time. Proper storage ensures that the equipment remains in peak condition for its entire service life.
