| Evolution lifeline from Dbi-Sala Dbi-Sala has announced the launch of a new generation in horizontal lifeline – The Evolution System. Evolution delivers complete hands-free movement along the line, efficiently protecting workers from falls, and is discreet, blending into the building structures without ever compromising aesthetics. The Evolution horizontal lifeline is comprised of a cable that serves as a connection point, intermediate components supporting the cable, end modules with energy absorbers and post type interface parts. Dbi-Sala has developed a varied and extended range of curves, intermediate and end brackets, enabling the lifeline to be installed on any type of structure while accurately following the contours of the building. Parameters like the number of people, the distance between intermediate brackets, the forces and the sag of the cable are unequalled by any other current horizontal lifeline. Evolution is equipped with a shuttle that can be switched to enable the user to work both sides of the line and also allows movement along the lifeline without the need to disconnect and passes the intermediate points without obstruction. Design software that simulates the necessary clearances and possible heights of falls has been developed specifically for Evolution, validating the compatibility of structures with the Evolution lifelines. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
