1) Applications
A PuRPOSE
The rail and car system is designed for
use as an adjustable anchorage point
for external access to facilitate external
maintenance on vessels.
The system has two anchorage points.
One anchorage point for a personal
suspension system and the second
for the fall-arrest system.
Free Fall:
Personal fall arrest systems used with this equipment must be rigged to limit the free fall to no
more than 1.8 m (6 ft). Personal Suspension System must be rigged so that no vertical free fall is possible.
Fall Clearance:
There must be sufficient clearance below the user to arrest a fall before
the user strikes the ground or other obstruction. Height of
user plus extended safety lanyard length must not be more
than the height from rail to ground minus 2 m (6.5 ft).
Swing Falls:
Minimise swing falls by working as close to
the anchorage point as possible.
Load Angle Limitations:
Harken cars beginning with A0633 and
B0768 with 8 mm shackles have the ability to handle loading at an
angle up to 15° beyond vertical.
Loads beyond 15° from vertical
will overload car.
See drawing at right. Exception: HC10567
wheel toggle cars can handle greater angles. See next page.
Training:
This equipment must be installed and used by
persons trained in its correct application and use.
2) System Requirements
C STAnDARDS
This system has been tested to EN 795:2012 standard and is appropriate
for single person use with an energy absorber to EN355.
Harken equipment is designed for use with Harken approved components. Substitutions or replacements made
with non-approved components may jeopardize compatibility of equipment and may affect the safety and reliability
of the system.
Connectors (hooks, carabiners and D-rings) must be capable of supporting at least 22kN (5000 lbs), in
accordance with EN362.
Personal Fall Arrest Systems used with this equipment must meet EN813 requirements and include a shock-
absorbing lanyard (to EN355 standard) and a full body harness (to EN361, EN358, EN813 standard).
WARNING! Consult Harken when using this equipment in combination with components or subsystems
other than those described in this manual. Altering or intentionally misusing this equipment may cause
the system to fail which can cause a fall which could result in severe injury or death.
B LIMITATIOnS
Capacity:
This system is designed for use by one person with a combined weight (clothing, tools etc) of no more
than 135 kg (297.68 lb). No more than one person may be connected to a two-car assembly at one time.
1. FULL-BODy SAFETy HARNESS
Use a full-body safety harness attached
to access car with pinstop.
Full-body safety harness must meet
/ANSI support standards.
2. WORkING HARNESS CAR
Use a working harness or chair attached
to access car. Working harness or chair
must meet /ANSI support standards.
3. TOOL SERVICE CAR
Add an optional car and coupler to work as
your tool service carrier.
15°
Harken HC9606 cars
beginning with A0633 and
B0768 with 8 mm shackles
have the ability to handle
loading at an angle up to
15° beyond vertical. Loads
beyond 15 degrees from
vertical will overload car.
Check CE label on side of
car for serial numbers.
