High level safety
September 1st 2008 Miller by Sperian, part of the
Sperian Protection group, can now
provide a complete fall protection
solution from products through to
training and equipment inspection.
The company's new Söll Vi-Go
system, which won a BSIF award
for innovation, is a cable-based
vertical arrest safety system. It is
built on Miller by Sperian's railbased
technology, Söll Glide-Loc,
which renders vertical arrests of up
to 200m safe.
The Söll Vi-Go system adopts
the energy absorber of its fellow
rail-based product, which is
integrated into the fall arrester
rather than the cable's fixed
supports. The absorber is quick to
react in the event of a fall. It
reduces erratic body movements
as well as the force exerted on the
user without excessively wearing
the cable to which it is attached.
In the event of a fall, and in
accordance with EN 353-1, the
impact force exerted on the user
must be limited to 6KN. The Vi-Go
bracket keeps the impact force
levels below this value
Tailor-made safety at height
training courses are offered, as is
an inspection date reminder
system for equipment – available
