Kattsafe Vertical Fall Arrest Ladder Line System - 20m
Kattsafe Vertical Fall Arrest Ladder Line System - 20m
The Kattsafe vertical fall arrest ladder line system gives a climber a continuous attachment point for the full height of a fixed ladder. Brackets mount to a new or existing ladder, an 8mm cable runs between them, and the SL228 vertical fall arrester travels with the user, so there is protection at any point of the ascent or descent. It is our replacement for the discontinued Climb Safe ladder system.
This listing is a complete system for a 20m ladder run, ready to order. Any ladder length can be quoted: contact us with your ladder height and we will price a system to suit.

Does it fit an existing ladder?
Yes. The LD437A brackets are retrofit brackets, made to install on existing ladders as well as new ones. Ladder integrity and the attachment to the supporting structure should be assessed by a competent person before installation.
Can I order a length other than 20m?
Yes. This listing is a complete 20m system, and any ladder length can be quoted. Contact us with your ladder height and we will price a system to suit.
How does the fall arrester work?
The SL228 travels along the cable with the climber and locks on in a fall, so the user is protected at any point of the ladder. It is rated for a 140kg maximum user weight and 6kN single person use in conjunction with an energy absorbing lanyard device, and it is removable so one unit can be used across multiple locations.
Is the system compliant with Australian standards?
The vertical fall arrester is designed and manufactured in accordance with the requirements of AS/NZS 1891, and the retrofit brackets are designed to conform with AS/NZS 1657:2018, AS/NZS 5532:2013, AS/NZS ISO 22846 and AS/NZS 1891.
