Retractable fall arresters function like a car seat belt, a re-coiling main spring keeps the lifeline in light tension, allowing it to respond in the event of a fall.

If the extraction speed of the lifeline exceeds 0.5m/sec, the brake system is activated and will lock into place. resulting in the deceleration of the faller.

IKAR HWB Self-Retracting Fall Arrestors are manufactured with an aluminium casing containing a webbing lifeline that has a sewn-in load indicator.

HWB series Fall Arrestors are the smallest and therefore the most portable variant of IKAR’s fall arrest blocks and can be attached to either the Anchor Point or carried by the User.

They have Swivel eye attachments for connecting to anchor points which allow rotational movement by the user without entanglement.

These fall arrestors carry a Declaration of Conformity to EN360 and EN362 for the Connector.

IKAR Fall arrestors purchased from SafetyRespect UK are supplied with a 35kN rated karabiner connector

IKAR Fall arrestors purchased from SafetyRespect UK are supplied with a Declaration of Conformity Certificate and Product Instructions.

Anchor Points for Fall Arrest

Anchor points for Fall Arrest should be planned so that the user can operate within a horizontal distance no greater than the equivalent of 30 degrees from it.
The implication of working beyond this distance is the risk of pendulum swing which puts the user at risk of collision with any object in his way.

Pendulum swing will occur in a fall event if the anchorage point is not located directly above the fallers head.
