EN 1808:2015
EN60204-1
Directive 2006/42/EC

Description

The Roof car ensures the safety of the cleaning personnel by preventing falls but also enhances the reach and effectiveness of facade cleaning efforts. The stability is ensured by two trolleys taking up the tilting moment thanks to the aluminum Safeaccess rail fixed on posts or brackets to the structure of the roof or the parapet. In parking position, the mast is tilted horizontally and then removed from the trolley. In service, the jib is pivoted on the roof side to hang the synthetic ropes at the 2 anchor points. It is considered as a building maintenance unit.

Advantages

  • Light solution easy to move
  • Respect the aesthetics of the building

  • Usable by rope access specialists, RopeClimber hoists and cradles alike
  • Maximum working load of 240 kg (529 lbs) for manual trolleys and 480kg (1058 lbs) for motorized versions
  • Jib reach up to 1560mm (5’1”) for manual trolleys and up to 2900mm (9’6”) for motorized versions
  • Possibility of custom-made solutions with the Fallprotec’s engineering department
