Compatibility:
When making connections with 4-Person Rope HLLs, eliminate all possibility of
roll-out. Roll-out occurs when interference between a hook and the attachment point causes the
hook gate to unintentionally open and release. All connections must be selected and deemed
compatible with 4-Person Rope HLLs by a Competent Person. All connector gates must be
self-closing and self-locking, and withstand minimum loads of 3,600 lbs. See the following for
examples of compatible/incompatible connections:
Swing Falls:
Prior to installation or use, make considerations for eliminating or minimizing all
swing fall hazards. Swing falls occur when the anchor is not directly above the location where a
fall occurs. Always work as close to in line with the anchor point as possible. Swing falls
significantly increase the likelihood of serious injury or death in the event of a fall.
