CONNECTORS

Connecting devices are a crucial component/link in a complete Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS). The connecting subsystem is the critical link that joins the full-body harness (body wear) to the anchorage/anchorage connector. Understanding the strength and weakness of Hooks and connectors help the user to choose its appropriate type depending on the area/field of its usage. Strength of the connectors are mainly dependent on the breaking strength of its major load bearing axis as well as the impact force of its minor axis. It is designed to be loaded by its major axis with the gate close and sleeve locked. Misuse could be fatal.
