Mobile anchor point

7. The tracpode is a fall-arresting anchor point which

can arrest the fall of two persons, each with a

maximum mass of 150 kg.

8. If the mass of the operator plus the mass of his/her

equipment and tools is between 100 kg and 150 kg,

you must ensure that this total mass (operator +

equipment + tools) does not exceed the working

load limit of each of the components of the fall-

arrest system.

9. This equipment is suitable for use on an open-air

site and within a temperature range of -40°C to

+60°C. Avoid any contact with sharp edges, rough

surfaces and chemical substances.

10. If you are responsible for assigning the equipment

to an employee or similar person, ensure that you

comply with the applicable health and safety at work

regulations.

Recommended use:

• The tracpode is an anchor point which complies with

the requirements of standards EN 795B:2012 and

TS16415:2013. This equipment may be used by a

maximum of two operators protected by a fall-arrest

system and wearing a fall-arrest harness.

• Temperature range: -40°C to 60°C

• The tracpode can be used to provide access to a

conned space such as a well, storage silo, sewer,

etc.

• Static load strength of the tracpode: 15 kN.

It is made of aluminium, which makes it easy to

transport due to its light weight (21 kg).

The telescopic feet can be locked at any one of six

positions to vary the height of the tracpode.

IMPORTANT: The tracpode has two specic

anchor points which must only be used for PPE and not

for load lifting equipment and another specic anchor

point which must only be used for lifting loads and not

for PPE, as indicated by the marking associated with

the point (gure 7.b).

The tracpode provides a temporary anchor point, which

complies with the requirements stated in standard EN

795B:2012 and can be tted with:

• Fall-arrest devices which comply with the requirements

stated in standard EN 363 (2002).

• Rescue lifting devices, EN 1496 type A or B (2017).

• Devices which allow working while suspended from a

rope, in accordance with directive 2001/45/EC

• Maximum strength of the anchor point: 12 kN.

NOTE: The loads indicated are the maximum

applicable values which must not under any

circumstances be multiplied by the number of anchor

points on the head or legs of the tracpode.

The feet are articulated and non-slip. A strap can

be used to secure the three legs together once the

adjustment of the tripod has been completed.

This leg strap does not have to be used under certain

conditions where the grip of the feet to the ground

is good, and so long as the rubber pads are in good

condition.

The tracpode has a basic working conguration, and

can also be tted with a fall arrester from the blocfor™

range and/or a winch from the caRol™ range.

4.1. Blocfor™ 20R and Blocfor™ 30R

recovery model fall-arrester

The device described in this section does not fall within

the scope of CE marking for PPE as specied in EN

795:2012.

The blocfor™ R is a self-retracting fall arrester tted

with a rescue lifting device. It is attached vertically to

one of the tripod’s legs and is used to rescue, by raising

or lowering, a fallen person. The working load limit for

this device is 150 kg.

The cable moves freely when it winds out or in at normal

speed as the operator moves, although there is always

a gentle retraction force applied by a spring which acts

on the drum around which the lanyard is wound.

If the event of a fall, the operator’s descent is halted

by the engagement of the device’s safety pawls. The

blocfor™ 20R and 30R devices have a manual winch,

which lets the rescuer raise or lower the operator

after a fall. The winching function can be engaged or

disengaged. The winching is performed by rotating

a winder with a fold-down handle, coupled with an

automatic brake. By pressing on the red locking button,

the winder becomes operational and can be used to

wind in or wind out the cable.

The blocfor™ 20R has a cable length of 18 m and the

blocfor™ 30R a cable length of 30 m. Both models have

two handles on the housing for handling the unit.

A leg bracket, code 196788, is used to secure the

blocfor™ 20R and 30R to one of the tracpode’s

legs. The blocfor™ R devices are not suitable for the

handling or securing of loads.

NOTE: The winch of the blocfor™ “R” must not

be used to raise or lower a person (its winching function

does not satisfy standard EN 1808: 1999) except when

rescuing a person (standard EN 1496 B) i.e. by raising

or lowering a person during a rescue operation. A

“rescue” should be understood to be a one-o󰀨 operation

which is not repeated.

4.2. CaRol™ winch rescue lifting device

The device described in this section does not fall within

the scope of CE marking for PPE as specied in EN

795:2012.

The caRol™ TS manual drum winch can be used for

the rescue lifting of personnel. It o󰀨ers a high degree of

safety in use since it features two independent braking

devices. A leg bracket, code 196798, is used to secure

the caRol™ 20-m winch and the caRol™ 30-m winch to

one of the tracpode’s legs.

NOTE: The winch of the caRol™ must not be

used to lower or raise a person (this winch does not

satisfy standard EN 1808: 1999) except when rescuing

a person (standard EN 1496 A) i.e. by raising a person

to e󰀨ect a rescue.

4.3. CaRol™ winch load lifting device

The device described in this section does not fall within

the scope of CE marking for PPE as specied in EN

795:2012.

IMPORTANT: This section is only valid for lifting

loads.

The anchor point for lifting complies with the machinery

directive 2006/42/EEC:

• Maximum load supported by leg-mounted device:

250 kg (WLL).

• Maximum load supported by anchor point on head:

500 kg (WLL).

• The webbing straps must be used between the feet

when lifting loads between 250-500kg.

If the ground is in good condition and stable, such as

concrete, tarmac, oor tiles, etc. and so long as the

feet and pads are in good condition (refer to the checks

before use) then the tracpode can be used without its

leg strap tted so long as the maximum load under the

head is 250 kg.

The anchor point for lifting personnel complies with the

machinery directive 2006/42/EEC – “lifting persons”

amendment in accordance with the requirements of

standard EN 1808, suspended structures § 9.3.

NOTE: Any user who wants to create a complete

personnel lifting system (cradle + winch + anchoring

structure) which complies with EN 1808 must conduct a

comprehensive risk assessment and have the solution

validated by a competent organisation.

The caRol™ TS manual drum winch can be used to

lift loads. It o󰀨ers a high degree of safety in use since

it features two independent braking devices. A leg
