 ABS-Lock EG250
 
Stainless steel anchorage device without roof penetration
The ABS-Lock EG250 system has
been developed to provide a safe
single anchorage point for individu-
als on flat roofs without penetrating
the roof.
The system is licensed and CE-
tested in accordance with DIN EN
795 as a class E cross-shaped an-
chorage point for one individual with
personal protective equipment and
shock absorber. As it is made en-
trely of stainless steel the EG250 is
protected against corrosion.

Use
Easy to use. The load materials
(250 kg concrete slabs, roof gree-
ning, substrate, layer of earth, gra-
vel etc.) are simply distributed over
the net.
The EG250 is easy and quick to as-
semble and therefore inexpensive.
The ABS-Lock EG250 for use on
flat roofs has been designed in
such a way that all types of materi-
als can be used in order to guaran-
tee safety, no matter whether these
are concrete slabs, gravel, grit etc.
250 kg of the respective material
distributed over the EG250 net is
sufficient.
The EG250 is also ideal for inte-
gration into roof greening. The sub-
strate for the greening is placed on
the net and serves as the basis

Permanent stainless steel anchorage point with base plate &
stainless steel anchorage point for trapezoidal sheet
The ABS-Lock X system has been
developed to provide a safe single
anchorage point for individuals.
The system is licensed and CE-
tested in accordance with DIN EN
795 as a class A, B and C ancho-
rage point as an end post for cable
systems.
As it is made entirely of 1.4301
stainless steel it is protected
against corrosion.
www.absturzsicherung.de
Use
The Lock X has various base plates
for different types of substrate and
can therefore be used almost eve-
rywhere.
A Lock X system has been spe-
cifically developed for trapezoi-
dal sheet roofs and sandwich ele-
ments, thereby obviating the need
for time-consuming installation on
the substructure of the trapezoidal
roof. In contrast to the other Lock
X systems, it has a special base
plate and can therefore be installed
on almost all conventional trapezoi-
dal sheets. If the heat insulation is
positioned on top of the trapezoidal
sheet, this system can be used with
special spacer screws. The actual
attachment to the trapezoidal sheet
or sandwich element is made using
a special attachment set consisting
of four toggle bolts and sealing ma-
terial. The installation of each Lock
X therefore takes only between 5
and 10 minutes.

Stainless steel anchor for flange seam roofs Safety roof hook for all load directions

Attachment principle

The ABS-Lock 12-11 system has
been developed to provide a secu-
re single anchorage point for indivi-
duals on flange seam roofs without
penetrating the roof surface or im-
pairing its tightness with respect
to leaks.
The system is licensed and te-
sted according to DIN EN 795 as
a class A, B and C anchorage for
up to three people. Due to the
fact that it is constructed entirely
of stainless steel it is protected
against corrosion.
Use
The 12-11 anchor system is clam-
ped to flange seam roofs such as
Kal-Zip, Bemo or Interfalz profiled
sheets. To this purpose specially
shaped clamps based on the con-
tours of the ridges are used. Due
to the flexibility of the supporting
arms, the system can be adapted
to almost all standard seam di-
stances. The adjustment range is
between 305 and 500 mm.
Installation using clamps is very
easy and can therefore be carried
out in a time and cost-saving man-
ner. The Lock 12-11 is designed in
such a way that it deforms plastical-
ly in the case of a fall, thereby ab-
sorbing a major share of the forces
involved.
The ABS-Lock SDH 02 has been
developed to provide a secure an-
chorage point for up to two indivi-
duals at the same time in all load
directions.
The system is licensed and tested
according to DIN EN 795 as a class
A anchorage point and has also
been tested in accordance with EN
517 B in all load directions (inclu-
ding the +Y direction = direction
of the ridge). This product can be
made entirely of stainless steel or
galvanized steel, which protects it
against corrosion. Due to the small
number of roof hooks required, the
construction costs and the architec-
tural limitations are kept to a mini-
mum.
As a tested and licensed class C
anchor the ABS-Lock 12-11 is also special screw 8 x 180
suitable as an end post for cable sy-
stems such as SYS I and SYS II.
Use
The Lock SDH 02 system is licensed
for use on wooden roof structures
with or without over rafter insulati-
on. It is used for inserting roofers
ladders and as an anchorage point
for personal protective equipment
to prevent falling.
If a maintenance concept is worked
out at the planning stage, not only
the risk of accidents is reduced du-
ring construction, but also the sub-
sequent maintenance and cleaning
costs for the building owner.
Safety roof hooks are tested in ac-
cordance with EN 517 of the roof
fall line and preferably installed in
the vicinity of the ridge. By climbing
over the ridge of the mono pitch roof
and passing the rope over the entire
roof surface to a higher roof hook,
in the case of a fall the load is in the
opposite direction.
To this purpose the SDH 02 is equip-
ped with special screws that allow
loads in all directions. For this rea-
son the safety roof hook is certified
not only according to EN 517B, but
also licensed as a single anchorage
point according to EN 795.

 ABS-Lock SYS I
16
Horizontal cable protection system made of stainless steel
The ABS-Lock system has been
developed to provide up to ten in-
dividuals with a secure anchorage
point simultaneously on a stainless
steel cable without the intermedi-
ate posts being traversable.
The system is licensed and tested
according to DIN EN 795 as a class
C cable protection system with a
distance between the posts of not
more than 15 m. As the cable and
attachment components are made
entirely of stainless steel, they are
protected against corrosion. The
Lock SYS I can be attached by a
number of ABS-Lock support sys-
tems.
www.absturzsicherung.de
Use
The ABS-Lock SYS I system is in-
stalled on the roof substrate by
means of system supports from
the ABS-Lock range. As there is
a large number of possible system
supports it is very variable and easy
to install. As a rule it is attached
to force-absorbing supports, which
in the case of a fall minimize the
forces produced. The end and cor-
ner supports are also reinforced.
The system offers maximum sa-
fety at a low cost and unhindered
freedom of movement without the
intermediate supports being tra-
versable.
The SYS I is used as a temporary
measure to prevent individuals from
falling. During use it is possible for a
maximum of ten people to be secu-
red at the same time to the 8 mm
stainless steel wire rope.
The SYS I is installed horizontally.
The end connections can be instal-
led directly on a suitable structure
or the ABS system supports. The
stainless steel cable is attached
to the end support by means of a
clevis. Alternatively, the end con-
nection can be made by means of
the force-absorbing end unit (in the
case of cable systems with a short
cable length).
An intermediate post is positioned
every 7-10 m which does not re-
quire any additional reinforcement
and thereby reduces costs. The ca-
ble is pre-tensioned by hand using
the tensioning piece. Attachment to
the Lock SYS I is made directly to
the stainless steel cable by means
of the snap-hooks of the personal
protective equipment.

to install. As a rule it is attached to
force-absorbing supports which mi-
nimize the forces produced in the
case of a fall. The end and corner
supports are also reinforced.
The corner elements and intermedi-
ate supports can be crossed over
fully with the cable glider. Usually
the removable cable glider is used.
This can be attached to any point
within the system, so that is there-
fore part of the personal protective
equipment and easy to handle. For
permanent use without the neces-
sity of removing the glider we offer
permanently installed cable gliders
for straight and curved systems
(e.g. for use in systems installed
overhead with a fall-arresting de-
vice).
End tensioning elements at the end
of the cable ensure that the cable
is pre-tensioned and that the cable
does not sag. In industry and many
other fields, such as facades, crane
systems, truck loading, roof areas
etc., safety is considerably improved
by the Lock SYS II system. It also
allows safe freedom of movement
around corners without it being
necessary to detach/relocate the
cable. Energy-absorbing end units
considerably reduce the forces pro-
duced in the case of a fall.
1 The end unit is used wherever it is not possible
to install a force-absorbing end support. It serves
the purpose of force absorption and is used in
particular for small cable systems or on
glass roofs.
2 The end tensioning element makes it possible to
tension the wire cable and reduce the degree of
sag. The ABS-Lock SYS II system does not
require a specific level of tension to guarantee
optimum functioning.
3 The clevis serves as a connection between the
cable and an end support.
4 The chain link makes it possible to connect the
components to the attachment eyelet without
difficulty.
6
5 The intermediate bracket is movable and adjusts
itself to the position of the cable glider in order to
guarantee optimum traversability.
6 The ABS-Lock stainless steel wire cable has
ideal, energy-absorbing properties without having
any negative effect on its load-supporting capacity,
wear and tear or resistance to corrosion.
The cable glider can be set up or taken down at
any point within the system and also works in
conjunction with fall-arresting devices. For this
reason the system can be used without restriction
in its field of application.

falling. The rails are transportable
Use
The Lock VI can be used from a me-
tal sheet thickness of only 0.88 mm
(personal anchorage point) or 0.75
mm (fall protection nets)!
Attachment is made using a toggle
bolt. To this purpose a 20 mm hole
is drilled into the steel attachment
base and the toggle bolt pushed
through, tightened and screwed.
The Lock VI has been tested with
a maximum characteristic load of
10 kN according to EN 795 (from a
sheet thickness of 0.88 mm) and 6
kN (from a sheet thickness of 0.75
mm) according to section 5.2 DIN
EN 1263-2 (technical safety require-
ments for the erection of protective
nets).
The anchorage has an integrated
sealing ring which restores the tight-
ness of the steel structure.

The system is licensed and tested
according to DIN EN ISO 14122-3
(permanently installed access to

rail. As it is constructed entirely of
hot galvanized steel, the SkyDome
is protected against corrosion. The
system is non-slip and held firmly
in place by several concrete slabs
weighing 15 kg each that are tailor-
made specifically for the system.
Use
The system is held in place by the
weight of eight concrete elements
weighing 15 kg each. This obviates
the need to penetrate the roof clad-
ding and thereby reduce its tight-
ness to leaks.
The concrete elements are posi-
tioned on a plastic mat that pro-
tects the existing roof sealing layer

Protective layer
Use
This guard rail is used if attachment
to the roof parapet is difficult or im-
possible. In general it is used during
building renovation and installed di-
rectly on the surface that is acces-
sible on foot, so that there are no
subsequent problems with respect
to restoring the tightness of the roof
against leaks.
No holes need to be drilled into
the building. Two concrete weights
of 15 kg each provide the rail with
stability and resistance to external
forces. Under the slab there is a
non-slip layer, while a protective la-
yer is to be found under the blocks
(if these are positioned on the area
of the seal).
If the guard rail is placed on a soft
sealing layer over the trapezoidal
sheet, we recommend that the com-
patibility of the system be tested
due to the pressure exerted by the
guard rail.
Please note:
In the case of self-supporting guard
rails the maximum permitted in-
clination for roof surfaces is 10:

should only be used after consulting
