1.4.3 Compatibility of Components and Subsystems

The Beam Trolley is designed to be used with MSA fall protection components and connecting subsystems.
MSA fall protection equipment has been evaluated and tested in accordance with applicable standards to
be compatible when combined in ways stipulated in MSA product user instructions.
Combining fall protection components and connecting subsystems made by different manufacturers may
adversely affect the functional compatibility between system parts and the safety and reliability of the
complete system.
It is the responsibility of the employer's designated competent person to determine the compatibility of fall
protection components and subsystems. MSA recommends if choosing to combine fall protection compo-
nents and connecting subsystems from different manufacturers, all components and connecting subsys-
tems should be approved to comply with the applicable ANSI, CSA, or EN standard(s).

1.4.4 Compatibility of Connectors

Connectors such as D-rings, snaphooks, and carabiners must be rated to 5000 lbf (22 kN) minimum
breaking strength. Per ANSI Z359.12 and CSA Z259.12, connector gates must be able to withstand a load
of 3,600 lbf (16kN). Connecting hardware must be compatible in size and shape as to not inadvertently
cause their gate mechanisms to open.
Non-compatible connectors may accidentally disengage. Always verify compatibility of the connecting
snaphook or carabiner with harness D-ring or anchorage connector. Use only self-closing, self-locking
snaphooks and carabiners with the harness.
When using a snaphook to connect to an anchorage or when coupling components of the system together,
be certain accidental disengagement (rollout) cannot occur. Rollout is possible when interference between
a snaphook and the mating connector causes the snaphook's gate or keeper to accidentally open and
release. Rollout occurs when a snaphook is snapped into an undersized ring such as an eye bolt or other
non-compatibly shaped connector.
Do not use snaphooks or connectors that will not completely close over the attachment object. Do not make
knots in a lanyard. Do not hook the lanyard back onto itself. Snaphooks and carabiners must not be
connected to each other. Do not attach two snaphooks into one D-ring. Always follow the manufacturer's
US
instructions supplied with each system component.
Do not rely on feel or sound to verify proper snaphook engagement. Always check visually for proper
engagement. Ensure that gate and keeper are closed before use. Failure to follow this warning may
result in death or serious injury.
