Modular Jib Fall Protection System
Mobile Counterweighted Jib Fall Arrest Systems are an ideal portable fall protection solution for indoor and outdoor maintenance applications where mobility and worker safety are key. Portable counterweight fall arrest systems incorporate a 360° rotating jib with the capacity to provide fall protection for one person, four forklift pockets, and four heavy duty lifting rings to ensure ease of mobility and placement from job site to job site. These systems are ANSI and OSHA compliant.

Design Considerations
The 3M™ Flexiguard™ Modular Jib System offers notable advantages for users seeking a portable fall arrest solution, particularly its modularity, reach, and transport options. Its ability to accommodate a range of mast heights and base types makes it suitable for a variety of jobsite conditions, including confined or uneven spaces. The system provides extended overhead coverage, which reduces swing fall risk and simplifies fall clearance requirements. Integrated features such as 360° mast rotation (on most bases), dual-user support on select models, and compatibility with rescue equipment add to its operational flexibility.
However, the system's overall weight—especially with counterweights installed—can present logistical challenges, requiring forklifts or lift equipment for movement and setup. Transporting and assembling the system may be time- or labor-intensive, particularly in environments with limited access or frequent relocation needs. Additionally, proper setup, including ballast configuration and leveling, is critical for safety and must be handled by trained personnel. These factors should be weighed alongside the system’s performance capabilities when considering it against other portable fall protection options.
