MSA LadderLatch Systems
The MSA Latchways LadderLatch is a vertical cable system that provides personal protection when climbing ladders. It prevents a person from falling from a ladder using a connection to the vertical cable system. The system can be used for almost any type of ladder due to its flexibility from a small roof access ladder to large-scale ladders on chimneys, towers, cranes, and silos.
The LadderLatch is based on MSA Latchways' unique star wheel component, which allows the user to be constantly attached to the cable installed on the ladder. As a result, the employee can use the system hands-free ensuring that their focus is maintained on the operation they are performing. In the event of a fall, the LadderLatch device locks onto the cable and stops the fall.
The MSA Latchways Ladderlatch has many advantages over rail systems, including:
Can closely follow the contours of the structure or ladder
Is suitable for retrofitting or as part of new construction
It is unobtrusive and lightweight
Installation is possible for almost all environments
Can be integrated with Latchway's vertical, sloping, and horizontal sections
Supports use by up to four people
Built-in energy-absorbing elements protect the end anchors against excessive loads in the event of a fall
The LadderLatch device can be attached or removed at any point in the system
