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.
