PRODUCT DesCRIPTION:
Figure 1 illustrates the Flexiguard
®
SafRig Fall Arrest System. The SafRig Fall Arrest System is a fixed height boom mounted Fall
Arrest System that rotates 360° on a Concrete-filled Counterweight Base (models 8530595 and 8530606) or Steel Outrigger
Base (models 8530579 and 8530607). The bases are configured to allow transport of the system with a Crane, Hoist, or Forklift
with a Sling Strap. A leveling Jack Kit for the concrete base is available. The SafRig Fall Arrest System includes an integrated
rescue capability.
Figure 2 illustrates components of the SafRig Fall Arrest System. See Table 1 for Component Specifications. The Boom (E)
extends from the Vertical Mast (D). A Self-Retracting Lifeline is be connected to the Boom for fall protection. The Vertical Mast
can be rotated 360° with the Rotation Handle (G) and locked at 11° increments or allowed to rotate through a range defined by
stop pins (see Figure 8). SafRig Fall Arrest System bases have Lifting Channels (H) for transport with a forklift, pallet jack, crane,
etc. The Concrete-filled Counterweight Base also includes Lifting Eyes (I) for use with a forklift or crane. A Slope Indicator (I) on
Concrete-filled Counterweight Bases can be used to determine if the system is level. Optional Leveling Jacks can be installed on
Concrete-filled Counterweight Bases.
