ABS-Lock® SYS I
Horizontal Stainless Steel Fall Protection Cabling System

The ABS-Lock® SYS I system was developed to provide up to 10 individuals simultaneously with a safe anchorage point on a stainless steel cable which does not have glide-over functionality at the intermediate supports.

The system is licensed and CE-tested as a class C protective cabling system with supports spaced at a maximum distance of 15 m. As the cable and mounting components are manufactured completely from stainless steel they are protected from corrosion. The Lock SYS I can be used in conjunction with a large variety of ABS-Lock® support systems.

The ABS-Lock® SYS I system is mounted on the roof surface using system supports from the ABS-Lock® product range. Due to the large range of system supports which can be used, it is extremely variable and easy to install. As a rule it is installed on force-absorbing supports which minimize the ensuing force in the case of a fall. It also reinforces the end and corner supports.

The system offers maximum safety at a low cost as well as unrestricted freedom of movement without glide-over functionality at the intermediate supports.

  • The chain link makes it possible to easily attach the clevis to the tensioning element or attachment eyelet without impairing the stability and functionality of the system.
  • The end tensioning element makes it possible to tighten up the cable and reduce the degree of sag. The ABS-Lock® SYS I system does not require a specific level of tension to guarantee optimum functionality.
  • The clevis serves as a connection between the cable and an end support.
  • The end lock is used wherever it is not possible to install a force-absorbing end support. It is used in particular for small cable systems or on glass roofs.
  • The corner and end supports are also reinforced.
  • The ABS-Lock® stainless steel cable has ideal, energy-absorbing properties which do not have any negative impact on its load-supporting capacity, wear and tear or resistance to corrosion.

The SYS I serves to temporarily protect individuals from falling. A maximum of 10 individuals can be secured simultaneously to the ø 8 mm stainless steel cable guide. The SYS I is installed horizontally. The end connectors can be directly affixed to a suitable building surface or to ABS system supports. The stainless steel cable is attached to the end support using a clevis. Alternatively, the end connection can also be made using the force-absorbing end lock (for short cabling systems). An intermediate support is positioned every 7-10 m. No additional reinforcements are required, thus keeping costs down. The cable is pre-tensioned manually using the tensioning element. The carabiner hook attached to the individual’s personal protection kit is used to directly connect up to the Lock SYS I system’s stainless steel cable.
