Tension Limiters
Note: Use only with a separate fall protection device; this product alone does not make a material winch a man-rated winch.
Tension Limiter Systems help reduce injury during recovery and retrieval operations. Common applications for Tension Limiters include construction sites, offshore oil rigs, refineries, and wastewater management plants. Hoist tension limiters are connected between a worker and the winch hoist line. If the worker to be rescued experiences excessive loading, the system applies a clutching or braking action that reduces the potential for bodily injury.
Design Considerations
-
Sealed design protects dynamic components from moisture, water penetration, and fine particulate contaminants for reliable operation in harsh environments.
-
Durable aluminum housing with stainless steel components provides strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability.
-
Pivoting anchor and carabiner help center the load and provide a large, easy connection point.
-
Built-in carrying handle supports easy transport and may be used for dropped objects protection.
-
Stainless steel lifeline resists abrasion and corrosion.
-
8 ft. (2.4 m) tail with clear tube protects the cable in the work environment and allows for easy inspection.
-
Ergonomic cable handle provides added comfort and ease of use when making connections.
-
Stainless steel triple-locking swivel hook with 3,600 lb. (16 kN) gate helps limit lifeline twisting.
-
Rated capacity: 130–310 lb. (59–141 kg), single user only.
-
Total deployment: 23 ft. (7 m).
-
Deployment force: 400–900 lb. (181–408 kg).
-
Device connects in line between the suspended worker and winch line; if the worker becomes entangled, deployment of the bright yellow cable provides a visual cue for the crane operator to stop.
-
The device automatically resets following activation.
