Industrial Skate Block Trackline System Lower Section (Part 2)

Written By: Richard Delaney

Now we’re down at the bottom end. As I said at the top, we’ve got our red track line and we’ve got our blue skate block. The attachments here, we’ve got a pulley on the track line. Also on the track line we have a mobile fall arrester, a Petzl ASAP. That means worst case, if the skate block was to fail, we’ve got our load protected by an ASAP on the track line anchored above.

For the hauling system, I’m going to be using the skyhook winch. The track line I’ve got anchored through a CMC MPD. That will enable me to adjust the tension in the track line at any time during the raise should I need to move that load around to get past an obstacle. Now I know human loads on powered winch systems are a hard point of discussion internationally at the moment. We’re going to get one of the Deschutes Brewery employees up on this system. Chris is going to ride this system. I hope you can see that by having an ASAP on this line, on this separate line, and a skate block on the blue, we’ve got him on two Independent systems. It’s the same as our twin rope access systems that we use for any other work at height.

Gear Look:  Watch for these pieces!

Richard Delaney

Richard, the founder of RopeLab, aims to promote a better understanding of the fundamental principles underpinning the craft of the rope technician. He originally created RopeLab to build a greater understanding of the physics of roped systems. Seeing value in ideas being shared across industries, Richard looks at the physics of roped systems and equipment that may be used in a range of situations and industries. Climbers, rope technicians, riggers, slackliners, arborists and rescue operators all will find useful information here. Through the countless tests that he conducts to generate data that he can then apply to real working situations, his reports detail the methodology and results of each test conducted and he encourages critical assessment. Richard also delivers regular workshops which aim to facilitate learning in a social and practical environment. These workshops encourage critical thinking based in an understanding of fundamental principles rather than rote learning. Experience across a range of industries gives Richard the capacity to tailor workshops to specific environments.
