Catchfall Second Generation Fall Arrest System
|
One solution for protecting workers on all vehicles
|
Catchfall is one of the few systems which protects workers loading and unloading vehicles, regardless of the load or vehicle type.
Incorporating a travelling arrest mechanism and advanced bracing, Catchfall is a second generation fall arrest system.

|
First choice for protection
Using both units, enables access and fall arrest across the plan area of a 12.2 metre long vehicle bed. Workers attaching to a single gantry can access a vehicle bed up to 6 meters in length.
Catchfall geometry and safety features makes this system first choice for protection of workers, rather than a token effort to comply with the Work at Height Regulations 2005.

Designed by Experts
Developed and manufactured by UK based Mercian; Catchfall has 30 years lifting and handling experience behind it. Catchfall exeeds BS EN 795 Class B regulations. This incorporates a static 1000 KG test and a dynamic 100KG test through 2.5 Metres. Special operational tests have also been developed by Mercian to ensure optimum fall arrest performance.
Catchfall in Action
 |
1
|
 |
Wearing a standard harness, workers can attach themselves to one or two fall arrest blocks without assistance.
|
|

|
 |
Once attached to Catchfall, workers can move freely on the ground and climb onto the trailer or load without adjustment of the system.

|
 |
All points of the load can be easily accessed without constraint.

Should the fall arrest system come into operation, the anchor point is above head height for maximum safety.

Catchfall Features
|
Catchfall is manufactured to the highest standards and is designed to operate in arduous environments.
The base can be adjusted to accommodate uneven ground and inclines, and the units can be disassembled into manageable components for transportation from site to site.
|
|
At the heart of the Catchfall system is the robust jib assembly. This enables greater reach with a travelling arrest block ensuring that the worker is generally within 1 metre of the vertical. This is a key factor in providing consistent fall arrest across the vehicle bed.
