Introducing the Branach Fall Control System - An innovative, portable, and mobile solution for ensuring the safety of workers at heights. Our unique system is designed to keep workers safe while ascending, descending, or in the event of a fall, slip, or medical issue.
Our system addresses four key elements:
STRENGTH, STABILITY, ANCHORING, and RESCUE.
- The strength of our system is designed to arrest the user in the event of a fall, while the stability ensures that the user remains upright during a fall event.

AS 1892.1:2018 Higher Stability: What does this mean to you?
Under the new standard you now have a choice in relation to choosing which ladders best suit the task at hand.
If you choose a ladder that is marked as 'AS 1892.1:2018 HIGHER STABILITY' it will be tested in conjunction with the standard to provide a ladder with — you guessed it — Higher Stability.
Basically it refers to the amount of sideways force required to tip a ladder or platform. With a Higher Stability product your safety level has just increased exponentially.
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 rung joining system provides unparalleled performance in strength and stability, dramatically reduces twist and sway by up to 40%.
TERRAINMASTER™ ensures a stable footing and eliminates sideways movement.
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.
WORK POSITIONING HOOK, RUNG EYELET and HARNESS ensure adequate anchoring to the ladder structure.
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.
In addition, our NON-SLIP RUNGS help reduce foot slips.
