Function and description

The FABA™ climbing protection system
complies with standard EN 353-1. It will
be supplied as either a complete climbing
protection ladder (climbing protection rails
with rungs) or as a climbing protection rail
for fi tting to existing ladders or other manhole
steps. The fall arrest slider is an integral part
of the climbing protection system and together
with the climbing protection rails it forms a
package of fall arrest systems that safeguard
against falling. Each FABA™ fall protection
device has undergone, in conjunction with
suitable guide rails, EU proto type testing at a
registered certifi ca tion offi ce.
The FABA™ fall arrest slider runs in the clim-
bing protection rail profi le and it accompanies
the user, without any manual intervention
being necessary, when going up or down and
locks in place automatically in the rail in the
event of a fall. In this case the locking mecha-
nism on the fall arrest slider locks into one of
the notches in the rail profi le and this prevents
the fall arrest slider from moving downwards
and this action saves the user from falling.
The FABA™ fall arrest slider can be inserted
or removed at any position of the climbing
protection system. It cannot be used in clim-
bing protection systems with curves or gates.
