In sectors such as construction, industry, logistics or maintenance, preventing the risk of falls from height is a major concern. Fall-arrestor devices play a key role in securing interventions at height, thanks to reliable technology suited to every environment. The main products in this category include automatic fall arrestors, cable or webbing models, designed to meet the specific needs of professionals exposed to these hazards.
What standards regulate fall-arrestor devices?
Fall-arrestor devices must meet strict European standards, guaranteeing reliability and compliance. The main regulations include:
EN 360: specifies the requirements for automatic fall arrestors.
EN 364: details the test methods for all PPE against falls from height.
EN 363: defines personal fall-protection systems.
EN 365: sets out the general requirements relating to the use, maintenance, checking, repair, marking and packaging of fall-arrest PPE.
EN 795: covers the anchor points used with these devices.
Meeting these standards ensures that every component of the system is validated for demanding, safe professional use. Find all the fall-protection equipment suited to your activity on our site.
What is a fall arrestor and why is it essential?
A fall-arrestor device is designed to quickly stop an accidental fall and limit the impact on the user. It is made up of several complementary elements, ensuring both safety and comfort during work at height. This system generally includes:
Automatic locking mechanism: reacts instantly in the event of a fall to stop the descent.
Energy absorber: reduces the force of impact on the body to minimise injury.
Robust materials: galvanised steel, high-density polyethylene webbing, corrosion-resistant components.
This equipment is essential in every field where work at height is present:
Construction, industrial maintenance, energy, logistics, waste collection and treatment.
