Model LW50 -Fall Prevention Climbing Support System

The well-known and usually used ladder or stair with its fall prevention systems is combined with a constant-tension winch to get an intermediate device between a ladder and an elevator. The ladder and its safety system take care of the person and give the possibility for climbing as before. The constant-tension winch combined with the safety belt take over a part of the persons weight and serves as a relief during the accent (500N traction are about 50 kg weight-relief). If the climbing person wants to stay, he just has to stop climbing. He can stay so at any point of the ladder as long as necessary. The constant-tension winch still holds the traction, but no more rope will be tightened or released.
