Universal Anchor
Used on ladders, poles and lattice structures (see compatible rung sizes above). Fits 30mm-
110mm structures (1.18”-4.33”).
4
In Line Shock Absorber
Used in conjuction with the top anchor on Cabloc vertical systems to absorb energy, limiting the
force back to the user and the structure (only one user per system permitted). Note: Universal
bracket sold seperately.

Ø12-Ø30 (0.47”-1.18”) and square rungs 20mm-40mm (0.79”-1.57”). Once groove pulls through
plate, cable is in tension (see above).
6
Hex Swage Bottom Anchor
Used on standard ladders. Rung centres 200mm-310mm (7.87”-12.20”). Fits cylindrical rung
Ø12-Ø30 (0.47”-1.18”) and square rungs 20mm-40mm (0.79”-1.57”). Once groove pulls through
plate, cable is in tension (see above).
7
Ladder Extension Bracket
To extend the Cabloc system up to 1.3m (51”) beyond a finishing platform. Additional feature
(A) serves as a single point anchor. Minimum strength of structure 12kN. Maximum users 1. The
minimum rung space required is 200mm (7.9”). The rung shape and size range is: Round Ø12-
30mm (0.5”-1.2”) / Square 20-40mm (0.8-1.8”). Conforms to EN 795:2012 Type A. Install the
brackets with the arrow pointing upwards

Cable Guide
Used to guide the cable in vertical systems. To be installed as shown and spaced a maximum of
10m (32.81ft) apart.
9
Cabloc Pro Intermediate Guide
For use in Cabloc Pro vertical systems. Install the intermediate bracket as shown. If the system
length is 10m or greater, a single intermediate support is required every 5m. Only to be used with
Cabloc Pro.

1.0 APPLICATIONS
1.1 PURPOSE:
When used in combination with the Cabloc/Cabloc Pro Detachable Cable Sleeve (sold separately), the Cabloc/
Cabloc Pro Vertical Cable Safety System (Figure 1) is designed to eliminate or substantially reduce the risk of a fall which
would otherwise lead to injury or death. Cabloc/Cabloc Pro systems are intended to be installed on fixed ladders or
ladder-like climbing surfaces that are part of a structure (e.g., mono poles [wood, steel, or concrete] buildings, manways,
antenna structures and towers). The personal protection equipment (PPE) which is selected will form an essential part of
the system. Always wear a full body harness with a sternum (chest) attachment point, in accordance with EN 361 or with
the relevant national standard. When climbing, the user of the System should wear a climbing helmet which conforms to
the national standard.
1.2 DESCRIPTION:
The Cabloc/Cabloc Pro System consists of an 8mm (5/16”) Stainless Steel or Galvanised vertically
mounted lifeline.
The System is fixed to the structure via top and bottom anchors of varying types depending on the structure. The lifeline
is supported at regular intervals by intermediate brackets. The intermediate brackets help to reduce the loads in the event
of a fall and allow for longer single installations (see parts tables for spacing).
1.3 LIMITATIONS:
Cabloc/Cabloc Pro systems are not intended to be installed on portable ladders. These systems are
designed for use on ladders that are generally vertical. The ladder safety system must not exceed a maximum angle
of 15° from vertical. The cable angle change at a intermediate support or bracket shall not exceed 5°. The following
application limitations must be considered before installing the Cabloc/Cabloc Pro system.
A. Ladder Structure:
The ladder structure to which the system is installed must be capable of withstanding the loads
applied by the system in the event of a fall (see Section 2.2).
B. System Capacity:
The number of users allowed on the system at one time varies depending on the type of system
and installation. Generally, system capacities range from one to two users. See sections 2.0 and 3.0 for more
information on capacity limitations. System capacities are based on a maximum user weight, including tools and
clothing, of 140 kg (310 lbs).
