The Goblin fall arrester represents a monumental step forward in safety for workers who rely on fall arrest systems for work at heights. To be used on semi-static ropes ranging from 10-11 mm. The innovative cam creates perfectly smooth action on the rope whether it is being used to ascend or descend the line. Performance can be further increased by using the Rope Surfer device. Impact on the rope is reduced to the minimum thanks to the specially designed locking mechanism that lowers the fall arrest force (the force transferred to the body in the event of a fall) by half compared to other devices and locks the rope along a long axis, rather than pinching it aggressively with a toothed cam. Switching to ascension mode is accomplished with the simple push of a button on the back of the device. Hot forged stainless steel cam and locking components combine with a robust aluminum alloy body for exceptional durability over time.
- Locking lever made of precision casted stainless steel. Movement of the lever is perfectly free because no spring is assembled inside: this feature allows smooth action on the rope avoiding any unwanted locking of the device.
- Actioning lever made of precision casted stainless steel. The attachment hole is in this lever. When ascending and descending the lever does not touch the rope. In case of fall, it touches the rope, actioning the locking lever immediately.
- Counter part of locking lever. Made of precision casted stainless steel. The rope is smoothly grabbed between locking lever and counter-part. Both surfaces are made without any teeth or rough part, preventing any rope damaage or quick wear-and-tear.
- Backstop part for locking lever. It stops the lever avoiding it to grab the rope too much. It allows to stop a fall in a limited distance, keeping the fall-arrest force below 6 kN.
- Pulley. It improves rope sliding.
- Mobile flange. Made of hot forged aluminium alloy. Anodized. Much stronger than normal blanked and bent flanges.
- Fixed flange. Made of hot forged aluminium alloy. Anodized. Much stronger than normal blanked and bent flanges.
- Back button. By means of a cylinder and a spring, it allows to lock/unlock the action lever, thus changing the device from fall arrester to ascender modes.
- Opening button. Easy to open and close for rope insertion.
- Hole for connector (d.13mm).
- Hole to insert a cord for securing the device, preventing it from falling.
- All the axles are made of stainless steel, by automatic turning. High strength riveting.
