Tractel Travspring® – INRS energy absorber with quick-link connector

TRAVSPRING® – INRS ENERGY ABSORBER WITH QUICK-LINK CONNECTOR The INRS energy absorber is designed to dissipate the energy transmitted to the supporting structure by the fall of a user connected to the system. It is disposable (used once). It does not negate the necessity of equipping every user with personal fall arrest equipment. Each INRS energy absorber is supplied with a quick-link connector. FEATURES Material: Stainless steel – 304L Size: 7.5 x 4.3 in. (190 x 110 mm) Minimum breaking strength: 6,744 lb. (30 kN) Net weight: 0.9 lb. (400 g) Quick-link connector: Stainless steel – 316L See performance certificate Maximum arrest force: 600 daN (1,350 lb.) Average dynamic pull out: 500 daN (1,124 lb.) Maximum deployment: 905 mm (35.63 in.) – – – – TRAVSPRING® – HORIZONTAL LIFELINE SYSTEM The Travspring® is a horizontal lifeline system that is easy to install and can allow up to three users for multiple span and two users for single span systems. These systems can be permanent or temporary and no special tools are required to install. Every user must wear shock absorbing lanyard with maximum arrest force of 900 lb. (4 kN). It comes with a visual tension indicator and a new in-line energy absorber. This is a proximity horizontal lifeline system meaning that the user must wear a double lanyard harness to leap-frog over corner anchors and manipulate the O-ring through intermediate anchors in order to traverse the length of the lifeline. As with all fall protection systems, a professional engineer or a qualified person must certify the design and installation of the lifeline. The system can be mounted on a wall or on the ground. It must not be used as an overhead system. When a fall occurs, the energy absorber deploys or un-winds acting as the visual indicator that something has happened.
