Why Fall Control?

After years in the field with customers and safety experts, we knew what had to happen.

Simple

A system to ensure the height worker is safe while ascending, descending or accidental fall, slip or medical issue.
The elements of the Branach Fall Control address:

STRENGTH required to arrest the user.

STABILITY required to remain upright during a fall event.

ANCHORING mechanism to ensure the user does not separate from the ladder structure.

RESCUE so the height worker can be safely lowered down by someone on the ground.

Why Fall Control

The design and unique construction of our award winning system addresses the two most common ladder failure modes.

Failure Mode 1

STABILITY FAILURE – Movement of the ladder.
Base slip, movement of the top of the ladder and sideways tipping.

Box Rail

BOX RAIL rung joining system provides unparalleled performance in strength and stability, dramatically reduces twist and sway by up to 40%.

TerrainMaster

TERRAINMASTER™ ensures a stable footing and eliminates sideways movement.

Tethers

TETHERS that can be bolted into the ground or structure. This ensures the ladder is securely fixed.

Failure Mode 2

USER ERROR – Incorrect use of the Ladder.
Foot missed/slipped, user lost balance and overreaching.

Positioning Hook

WORK POSITIONING HOOK, RUNG EYELETS and HARNESS ensure adequate anchoring to the ladder structure.

Innovative Descender

The INNOVATIVE DESCENDER allows the user to replace themselves back on the ladder. GROUND BASED RESCUE system allows a passerby to rescue the height technician in an emergency.

Non-slip Rungs

In addition, our NON-SLIP RUNGS help reduce foot slips.

Guiding principles of the Branach Fall Control System

  • The worker is safe from the moment they leave the ground.
  • The stability system works from the ground up.
  • Fall control system stems from the increased base of support.
  • The ladder is secured with an integrated tether system.
  • Integrated rescue by second user from the ground.
  • Allows workers to work from the ladder with both hands comfortably and safely.
  • To meet and exceed compliance and international standards.
  • Design fit for purpose, critical piece of climbing equipment.
  • Periodic inspection schedule recommended.
