FAQs
1. What industries can benefit from using a static line system?
Static line systems are suitable for a wide range of industries where work at heights is required. These include construction, maintenance, telecommunications, energy, and more. Any industry that involves workers operating at elevated levels can benefit from the fall protection provided by a static line system.
2. How does a static line system work?
A static line system consists of a high-tensile wire rope or cable that is anchored at both ends and tensioned to provide a secure attachment point for workers. Workers connect to the line using a shuttle or a lanyard with a connector, which allows them to move freely along the length of the line while maintaining a constant connection. In the event of a fall, the static line and the worker’s harness work together to arrest the fall and minimize the risk of injury.
3. How often should a static line system be inspected?
The frequency of inspections for a static line system depends on various factors, such as the environment in which it is used, the frequency of use, and the manufacturer’s recommendations. As a general rule, HES Cranes recommends that static line systems be inspected by a competent person at least once every 12 months, or more frequently if specified by the manufacturer or required by local regulations.
