coefficient, can be installed between two davimasts,
each equipped with a 150 kg PPE double anchor
GB
with 360° rotation bracket (e.g. a Tractel
temporary lifeline).
IMPORTANT: The operators must ensure their fall
arresters never cross during use.

The connection with the PPE anchor point on the
davimast blocfor™ R bracket must be made using an
EN 362 connector. Up to one operator weighing up to
150 kg can connect to this bracket at the same time.
