Loadarrester with wire rope | LA10 Kratos Safety

A loadarrester in other words a load safety device from the brand Kratos Safety. We have several variants in our range. The standard length of the wire rope is 10 meters. Moving heavy and large materials in the air poses dangers. Although today's lifting equipment is becoming increasingly reliable, there is always a chance that something could go wrong. This can lead to very dangerous situations and major damage if cargo or machinery falls down. This can be prevented by installing a load safety device. A load safety device is a fall arrest system for loads.

A load securing device basically works the same as a fall arrest system. The cable is coiled in the arrester's drum and attached to the load. When the cable rolls out as the result of a load falling, the brake blocks the wire rope and the load is stopped in its fall. The biggest difference between a load arrester and personal fall protection is the maximum weight that can be stopped. With standard fall protection, this will be a maximum of 140 kg, while load arresters can take a maximum weight of 1,000 kg.
