Portable Fall Protection Systems
Temporary fall protection solutions for short-term work, changing locations, and limited-access areas.
Mobile, OSHA-Compliant Fall Protection
Portable fall protection systems provide temporary protection for workers exposed to fall hazards where permanent systems are not feasible, not available, or not required. These systems are commonly used for short-duration tasks, maintenance activities, or sites with changing work locations.
Haven Fall Protection supports the selection, layout, and use of portable fall protection systems based on site conditions, anticipated work activities, and applicable safety requirements.
What are portable fall protection systems?
Portable fall protection systems are designed to be installed, used, and removed without permanent attachment to the structure.
These systems may rely on counterweight, clamping, or temporary anchorage methods rather than permanently installed anchors. Because they are temporary, proper evaluation of site conditions, surface capacity, and intended use is critical.
Portable systems are typically used when:
- Work is short-term or infrequent
- Work locations change regularly
- Permanent systems are not justified or feasible
common types of portable fall protection
Portable fall protection can take several forms depending on the application, access needs, and fall exposure.
Griffin System - Skidded or Wheel Based
A mobile, rigid track fall protection solution designed for outdoor use. It provides flexible, on-the-go coverage with up to 30 degrees of off-center reach, perfect for tasks like machine maintenance and equipment inspections. Both versions feature a low headroom design and can be moved using large equipment, offering robust, on-the-go safety solutions for high-rise work.
Free-Standing Swing Arm
A versatile, movable fall protection solution for work in tight spaces. This system offers 360-degree coverage and can be easily relocated. Its freestanding design ensures stability without the need for permanent installation, providing flexibility for high-rise maintenance. Perfect for areas that require quick setup, it supplies critical safety where you need it most.
Portable A-Frame System
A lightweight, easy-to-move fall protection solution ideal for temporary work zones. Featuring a stable A-frame design, it offers reliable, ground-up protection with secure anchor points for workers to tie off. Its portability allows for quick setup and relocation, while its adjustable structure ensures compliance with OSHA safety standards.
Non-Penetrating Weighted Roof Anchors
Non-penetrating weighted roof anchors provide crucial safety without drilling into the surface, preserving roof integrity, maintaining warranties, and preventing leaks. This quick and flexible setup allows workers to install and remove the system without permanent modifications, making it ideal for temporary or restricted spaces.
Weighted Roof Horizontal Lifelines
A secure, non-penetrating lifeline system designed for rooftops and elevated work areas. This system uses weighted anchors to support a horizontal cable, allowing workers to move freely while remaining securely tied off. Ideal for maintenance and inspections, it prevents falls without damaging roof surfaces.
Portable Fall Protection Carts
Portable fall protection carts provide mobile, non-penetrating anchor points for workers at heights. Easily moved and repositioned, they allow workers to tie off and move around a job site securely. These carts meet OSHA and ANSI safety standards, are ideal for surfaces like concrete or roofing, and can accommodate multiple workers.
Temporary Horizontal Lifeline Systems
Consisting of either a cable or rope between two anchor points, temporary horizontal lifeline systems provide a secure path for workers to walk back and forth at heights. Workers attach themselves using a full-body harness, allowing them a wider range of motion.
