The Tension Limiter from DBI-SALA helps prevent on site injuries while performing personnel retrieval work with a winch or crane. The Tension Limiter operates by paying out a length of high-visibility coiled metal in the event of a worker becoming trapped or tangled during retrieval. The bright strip provides warning to the winch operator to stop and helps reduce injury on the trapped worker by limiting tension.
Features of the Tension Limiter:
The 24ft Tension Limiter extends to reduce forces on the wearer. The line here is covered in high-visibility reflective tape to alert the crane or winch operator to stop, so the problem can be assessed without injuring the user.
The unit is rated up to 310lbs.
Built wholly from stainless steel, the Tension Limiter is incredibly corrosion resistant, and also surprisingly lightweight (at only 16lbs); this level of corrosion resistance means that it can even be used in harsh maritime environments or reactive chemical plants.
Smooth deployment of the tension limiter provides consistent absorption of energy that in turn helps to prevent harm to the user.
An ergonomic handle helps keep tying on simple, as does the self-locking, gated swivel-hook, which prevents twisting of the line and accidental roll-out (the gate is rated to 3600lbs).
A built-in impact indicator allows you to check the device is safe for use quickly and easily.
DBI-SALA’s proprietary iSafe tagging technology is included: an equipment tracking system, utilizing built-in RFID tags to let you easily log equipment use and maintenance with a scanner, removing a world of paper work and time-consuming record keeping as you can simply store this information safely in their online portal.
The Tension Limiter provides another form of personnel protection that could be crucial in helping prevent serious injuries on the job. Sites where crane or winch access and transport are common will find the most benefit. These might include: construction sites, tower or turbine engineering, roofing contracts or more industrial sites such as petrochemical plants (oil rigs and refineries), chemical plants or wastewater management (sewer access) jobs.
