Fall protection for high-voltage pylons from a single source: HighStep Systems We now supply and install fall protection and fall arrest systems for high-voltage pylons entirely in-house – from planning and delivery to final installation. We have installed the system on 15 pylons along the Preilack–Streumen overhead power line. A follow-up order for 53 more pylons has already been placed.
Fall protection and assembly from a single source Hand
Who secures high-voltage pylons to make it accessible needed So far, two partners: one for the Fall protection system and one for the Installation. This is exactly where it expands. HighStep Systems his offer. We not only deliver Fall protection system, but take over now also the Installation of the HighStep rail as a separate serviceSystem and installation They are therefore exactly aligned coordinated – from a single source on time and in the usual manner HighStep quality.
Get started a project for one of the four German transmission system operator: To 15 high-voltage pylons of the Preilack–Streumen overhead power line in Brandenburg we have the HighStep Rail installed and used as Ready-to-use fall protection solution handed over. The client was the LTB Leitungsbau GmbH, end customer is our long-standing Customer 50 hertz.
Why Safe ascent on overhead power line masts so important
High-voltage pylons must be climbed regularly – for inspection, maintenance, modifications and Rescue operations. Classic Climbing irons and ladders are included physically demanding and offer only limited protection against crashes. For network operators and For overhead line builders, this means a double risk: for safety the fitters and for availability the facilities. A modern one Fall arrest system solves both – it makes the ascent safer, more ergonomic and faster.
So Does the HighStep work? Fall arrest system
The system combines a permanently attached mast assembled infrastructure with portable Climbing equipment offer automatic fall protection. Both hands remain free for climbing. Tools and materials.
The central components:
- HighStep Rail: a maintenance-free aluminum rail as a system carrier, permanently attached to the mast It is mounted. It is flexible and adapts. the building form and is required in Cut only every three meters Connection – that's what makes assembly possible fast and flexible also as a retrofit without Service interruption.
- HighStep Easy & Protector: credentials for Climbing aid with independent pedals for ergonomic climbing – with integrated fall protection and 0 m fall distance.
- HighStep Lift: the mobile battery-powered service lift, which looks like a The elevator travels up the track and transports heavy material.
- HighStep Anchorpoint: a portable Anchor point according to EN 795 for additional security and Rescue operations.
The advantages for Network operators and overhead line builders
- Safety: TÜV-certified, compliant with the relevant EU standards for fall protection (e.g. EN 363, EN 795) and the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC – integrated fall protection with a 0 m fall distance.
- Ergonomics: significantly lower stress during Climbing – a real advantage when demanding missions and aging Staff.
- Efficiency: up to 80 % Time savings during promotion and relegation, and therefore more Time for the actual work in the Height.
- Longevity: maintenance-free, anodized Aluminum rail with high Corrosion resistance; optionally with Offshore coating.
- Can be retrofitted: on various Mast types usable without the line except to commence operations.
Tried and tested system, now with its own Assembly service
How good that is Interaction of system and assembly The result shows how it works. of the Preilack–Streumen project: The Follow-up order for 53 more masts has already been granted. For our customers means fewer interfaces, clear Responsibilities and a result, that fits the system perfectly.
With the expanded offerings are developing HighStep Systems from the system manufacturer to the partner Fall protection for high-voltage pylons plans, supplies and assembles - the end one hand.
