Vertical lines on towers are an essential component of occupational safety when work at height is required. They are specially designed to provide reliable and constant protection for workers operating on vertical structures such as telecoms towers.
What is a vertical life line on a pylon?
A vertical pole lifeline is a safety system that consists of a cable fixed vertically along a vertical structure, such as a pole, and which allows workers to attach themselves to this cable using personal protective equipment (PPE). such as safety harnesses and fall arrest devices. These systems provide workers with continuous protection against falls when moving or working at heights. These rigid vertical lifelines are governed by standard EN 353-1: 2014.

Ease of installation: 3M lifelines are available as a complete kit, ready to be installed on all types of ladders and towers. Their modular design allows quick and easy installation.
Adaptability: thanks to their versatile design, 3M lifelines can be installed on a variety of pylons and vertical structures, providing effective protection in different work environments.
Compliance: 3M lifelines are designed and tested to the highest safety standards, ensuring full regulatory compliance. They are certified by independent bodies and meet the requirements of occupational health and safety regulations.
Various applications of 3M lifelines on pylons:
Maintenance and inspection work: 3M lifelines provide essential protection for workers performing maintenance and inspection work on towers, allowing them to move safely along the vertical structure.
Installation and repair: when installing or repairing pylons and similar structures, 3M lifelines ensure the safety of workers by providing a safe and reliable anchor point.
Monitoring and safety: 3M lifelines can also be used to ensure the safety of workers performing monitoring or safety operations on towers, such as telecommunications technicians or power line inspectors.
How is my 3M rigid vertical lifeline composed and what assembly possible?
Elements composing the 3M Cabloc lifelines:
Upper anchorage without absorber
Stainless steel cable 7x19 of 8mm length according to your need
Cabloc slider with energy absorber
Intermediate guide as needed
Lower anchorage
Identification plate
Realizable assemblies with the cabloc life lines
The manufacturer 3M recommends a so-called "Axial" mounting for better ergonomics and comfort for the operator who uses it. With this installation method, the lifeline is simple and quick to set up. Moreover, this type of installation will prevent the phenomenon of the balancer in case of a fall of the operator.
Other assemblies can be set up for technical questions, the different kits can adapt to all your types of ladders for your pylons.
