The Sayfglida system allows any person equipped with its fall protection to work safely. Once connected to the line, workers can circulate freely and make his inspections, maintenance or repairs.
General description
- Sayfglida is installed permanently on a structure, at ground, wall or ceiling level. Glider slides freely on the cable and run automatically at distance all intermediates.
- Sayfglida exists in two versions, 8mm and 12mm, the 8mm support up to 4 persons on the line and the 12mm : Support up to 10 persons on the line.
Use
Energy absorption
- Intermediate brackets have been designed to deform under load and absorb energy in case of fall.
- An energy absorber can also be integrated at the end of the line to reduce load in the structure on which the lifeline is going to be installed.
Legislation and standards:
- Sayfglida conforms to EN 795 standard.
Installation
- Sayfglida shall be installed horizontally, or with a maximum angle of 15° with horizontal.
- There are few fixations to have an ease and fast installation. Single Intermediate allow all configurations depending on the way it is installed (ground, wall, ceiling application).
Load requirements:
- The calculation software allow to edit a load and deflection computation showing loads generated in case of fall on the lifeline.
Additional components
- The Sayfglida system is designed for use with SALA Karabiners and recommended Harness KB1300S (N300/S) with front body attachment or KB1EXO/x for unrivalled comfort and security.
Servicing/maintenance
- No specific maintenance of the system is required; nevertheless visual check of cable and glider for corrosion before and during each initial use.
- Average lifespan: 10 years.
- Full check and servicing by manufacturer or approved installer of the system required:
- Annually.
- After any fall.
