High-Quality Load Arresters: Safety You Can Trust
Load arresters (sometimes written as load arrestors) are essential secondary safety devices designed to stop or catch falling equipment in case the primary lifting equipment fails. These devices ensure a higher level of safety for personnel, materials, and machinery, minimizing the risk of accidents and damages.
Kratos Range Load Arresters: Safety and Efficiency
Kratos Safety, renowned for its innovation, quality, and commitment to safety, manufactures a comprehensive range of load arresters. Designed to protect both people and materials in various work environments, Kratos load arresters combine cutting-edge technology with robust construction for reliable performance.
What is a Kratos Load Arrester?
At its core, a load arrester is a safety device that prevents falling loads from causing harm. When a load descends at an unusually high speed—indicating potential equipment failure—a Kratos load arrester engages its automatic braking system. This quick response mitigates the risk of accidents and protects both personnel and valuable equipment below.
What Rope is Used with a Kratos Load Arrester?
Kratos load arresters utilize galvanized steel wire ropes, known for their strength and durability. The length of the rope varies depending on the model, with some options offering customizable lengths. If you’re uncertain about the appropriate rope length for your application, the HIRD Sales team is available to provide expert advice.
