blocstop™ BSO secondary safety device

blocstop™ BSO

An additional safety system in accordance with DIN EN 1808 is mandatory in man riding applications. The system is used to secure the work basket or the platform on which personnel are working against falling.

That is precisely what our blocstop™ BSO does. It is small, light and compact and attached to the working platform where the safety rope runs through it.

If the movement of the safety rope exceeds a specified speed then the BSO triggers automatically and securely catches the load. The safety rope is held between the clamping jaws, preventing the rope from slipping any further. However, the surface of the clamping jaws is large enough to prevent damage to the rope. The blocstop™ is designed in such a way that the clamping jaws grip tighter, the higher the load on the rope.

Furthermore, the blocstop™ has been tested using many times the nominal load in order to ensure an extremely large safety margin.
