Blocstop™  BSO Fall arrest

An additional safety system in accordance with EN 1808 is mandatory in man riding applications. The system is used to secure the work basket or platform against falling.

That is precisely what our Blocstop does. They are small, light and compact and attached to the working platform where the safety rope runs through it.

BSO – Blocstop for the detection of overspeed:

If the movement of the safety rope exceeds a specified speed, then the BSO triggers automatically and securely catches the load. The safety rope is held between the clamping jaws, preventing the rope from slipping any further. However, the surface of the clamping jaws is large enough to prevent damage to the rope. The Blocstop BSO is designed in such a way that the clamping jaws grip tighter, the higher the load on the rope.

Furthermore, the Blocstop BSO has been tested using many times the nominal load in order to ensure an extremely large safety margin.

We are constantly working to improve our products. With the 2021 generation of BSO, we were able to reduce the shock factor in case of a fall.

  • Certified for manriding applications, providing safe and compliant personnel lifting and access.
  • Automatic speed-sensing brake instantly arrests falls or uncontrolled descent.
  • Fail-safe mechanical operation requires no external power, ensuring dependable performance in all conditions.
  • Robust galvanised steel housing with sealed internal components for durability in harsh environments.
  • Compatible with vertical and inclined lifelines, offering flexibility across multiple applications.
  • Integrated energy absorption reduces arrest forces for improved user safety and comfort.
  • Compact and portable design allows easy installation and use in temporary or mobile operations.
  • Supports compliance with working-at-height regulations, giving confidence to operators and duty holders.
