Press release / March 2020

FreeFalcon

The mobile fall protection

The current safety regulations in slab-formwork construction only conditionally satisfy the requirements of health, safety and ergonomics. FreeFalcon – The mobile fall protection with its unique engineered anchoring design, closes this safety gap. This mobile personal fall-arrest system secures construction crew members where the risk of a fall is most critical. It significantly enhances user safety without sacrificing mobility, helping to minimise the risk of falls from height.

FreeFalcon is a device specifically designed for the overhead anchorage of fall arresters with a maximum radius of up to 10 meters. In its default position, the anchor point is 2, 35 meters above the installation surface. On surfaces with a max. angle of 5°, the design of the device allows the user to individually determine the position of their anchor. By using a standard hand pallet jack, the unit can be easily moved horizontally on surfaces by just one person.

The attachment of approved loading straps or 4-rope chain for relocation with a crane is made possible by the four attachment point rings on the base plate.
