Safety Climb Systems

Some columns need special solutions to enable ongoing access for maintenance. Projects may be unsuitable for our Mid-Hinged Columns or where columns are installed in remote locations which may be inaccessible to cherry pickers and elevated work platforms , it may be difficult to maintain the light fittings , communications or other equipment. 

In these cases we recommend the use of a Safety Climb System. This system incorporates the use of either fixed or removable climbing rungs strategically spaced along the column and an adjustable safety steel wire lanyard system. The system allows the climber to secure themselves with a safety harness to a secure steel cable that runs the length of the column and is fastened at the top of the column , the base of the column and along the length of the column with rubber securing cleats. These cleats allow for the cable to be temporarily removed from the cleat while the latch way is  slid past the cleat and the cable is then re-secured. 

All the appropriate brackets and attachments are manufactured and / or attached to the column during its manufacturing process and are hot dipped galvanized with the column.  If required , the system can also be supplied complete with safety harnesses and a latch way mechanism for the operator to use when climbing up the column.

Our Safety Climb Systems are usually supplied with our columns , however they can be supplied separately as an adjustable clamp on system for an existing column. Care must be taken to assess the structural suitability of the existing column to carry the additional sail loading of the Safety Climb System.

Our Safety Climb Systems are supplied hot dipped galvanized and can be painted or powder coated to match our columns. Complete Safety Climb Systems can be viewed and tested on erected columns set up for demonstration purposes at our Osborne Park premises.
