LadderLatch

Latchways’ ManSafe for Ladders systems provide outstanding personal safety for individuals working on any type of fixed ladder.Such is the simplicity of the design concept that the ManSafe for Ladders system can be installed to follow the contours of the structure and so maximise its safety value in a working environment. Equally, the proven effectiveness of the LadderLatch unit with its unique Latchways starwheel component provides workers with the security of being constantly attached to the system whilst also having both hands free for climbing. If a worker should fall from the system, the LadderLatch immediately locks onto the system cable and arrests the fall.
In the event of a fall, a worker attached to a ManSafe for Ladders system is far less likely to be injured during the fall arrest process compared to a fall from a traditional hoop system. Whereas hoop systems prevent a worker falling backwards off a ladder, the hoops themselves present a significant threat if the worker should fall down a ladder.
