Freestanding Constant Force Post

The Freestanding Constant Force post
is for use as a single point anchor
conforming to BS EN 795 Class E and
can also be used as part of a Latchways
ManSafe horizontal cable system,
which has been independantly tested.
The post is used on nominally flat roofs
up to a maximum pitch of 5º where it is
impractible to install traditional Constant
Force posts or rigid anchor posts to
the roof or supporting structure.
The post has been tested and approved
for use on concrete, single ply membrane,
bitumen membrane, asphalt-sanded,
asphalt-stone chipped and steel
roof profiles.

If the roofing profile which you have
selected falls outside the current range,
please contact Latchways technical
department on +44 (0) 1380 732700
for further advice.
The interlocking segmets are arranged
in a circular form, ensuring that the
post is omni directional. Each segment
has an integral carry handle and is a
maximum weight of 25 kg.
Ensure no part of the anchor device
is less than 2.5 m from any roof edge
including skylights, hatches etc.
Where appropriate, remove any loose
chippings prior to assembling the post.
When connecting to the post or
system, always use a full body harness
and energy absorbing lanyard to
appropriate national standards.
The post must never be used during
periods of adverse weather conditions
(i.e. frost, snow or freezing conditions)
or if the roof surface is contaminated
by algae, grease, oil or any other type
of lubricant.
