Constant Force Post
The definition of Constant Force is “The mechanism used to
provide a consistent method of absorbing mechanical energy
and controlling tension within the system to a pre-determined Constant Force”. The application of this principle to fall arrest has created a revolution in system design.
Constant Force Posts can be deployed across virtually all major roof types including relatively delicate roof structures without costly penetrations and closures.
Fall Protection
Constant Force technology allows the load generated during a fall to be absorbed throughout the entire system. The patented Constant Force Post has an integral energy absorbing coil that, in the event of a fall, deploys in a controlled manner to evenly absorb the force generated. In doing so it ensures that the load exerted from a fall on the point of attachment will not exceed 10 kN. Controlling the load in this manner allows the post to be fixed to more fragile roof-top structures without using structural steel or purlins.
The science of Constant Force™
The definition of Constant Force is “The mechanism used to provide a consistent method of absorbing mechanical energy and controlling tension within the system to a pre-determined Constant Force”. The application of this principle to fall arrest has created a revolution in system design. The graph below summarizes this by showing the increased load absorption capacity of the Constant Force post in comparison to a traditional rigid anchor post.
