Technical Specifications & Features

Our patented Roof Angel Horizontal Lifeline System combines advanced force-absorption technology with premium-grade materials to deliver uncompromising fall protection. Featuring purpose-engineered stainless steel posts with integrated shock-absorbing polyurethane components, high-strength 8mm 7×7 stainless steel cable, and precision-engineered termination hardware, our systems minimise structural loading to less than 10kN while maintaining complete corrosion resistance. The unique stackable design with multi-drilled base plates and replaceable post architecture ensures maximum flexibility and cost-effectiveness throughout the system lifecycle.

  • Advanced Force-Absorption Technology: Patented shock-absorbing polyurethane system integrated within each anchorage post dramatically reduces end loads to <10kN during deployment, minimising structural stress and eliminating the need for expensive shock absorber replacements found in competitor systems. Features serial-numbered components for complete traceability and incorporates 360-degree freedom of movement with continuous attachment capability for multiple users.
  • Universal Roof System Compatibility: Engineered for seamless integration across all modern roofing systems including standing seam (no-penetration S5 clamp), membrane roofs (TPO/PVC coated base plates), and composite systems (structural rivet fixing). Accommodates corners and inclined surfaces with specialised 90° corner units and variable cable guides, ensuring comprehensive coverage for complex building geometries without compromising roof integrity.
  • Certified Performance & Professional Support: Independently tested by SATRA Technology Centre and fully certified to BS EN 795:2012 Class A2 & C and BS 7883:2005 standards.
