The Goblin fall arrester represents a monumental step forward in safety for workers who rely on fall arrest systems for work at heights. To be used on semi-static ropes ranging from 10-11 mm.
The innovative cam creates perfectly smooth action on the rope whether it is being used to ascend or descend the line. Performance can be further increased by using the Rope Surfer device.
Impact on the rope is reduced to the minimum thanks to the specially designed locking mechanism that lowers the fall arrest force (the force transferred to the body in the event of a fall) by half compared to other devices and locks the rope along a long axis, rather than pinching it aggressively with a toothed cam.
Switching to ascension mode is accomplished with the simple push of a button on the back of the device. Hot forged stainless steel cam and locking components combine with a robust aluminum alloy body for exceptional durability over time.
Standards:
- EN 12841A/B for use in rope access as a backup device for the safety line or as an ascender for the working line for workers up to 120 kg; it can also be used for rope access rescue up to 200 kg;
- EN 353-2 for use as a fall arrester for workers up to 120 kg, with certified ropes;
- ANSI Z359.1 for use as a fall arrester for workers up to 136 kg / 300 lbs, certified with Lithium 11 mm rope with fixed end loops.
UPDATE 2023:
- EN 353-2 upgraded to 150 kg maximum weight for connections using a single carabiner without a lanyard;
- PPE-R/11.075 certification for horizontal/inclined use over an edge in combination with Iridium 10.5 mm (110 kg max) and Iridium 11 mm (120 kg max) ropes;
- Approved use of oval carabiners constructed from aluminum alloy in addition to steel.
