The needle is a lightweight, relocatable rope access system providing safe access over parapets and curtain walls for maintenance of building façades.
Kattsafe needles are designed as a rope access anchorage device where access over non load bearing parapets, balustrades and light weight curtain walls is required.
They are designed to withstand a 12kN rope access load and have a serviceability load limit of 400kg. Each needle is designed to be used by a single operator at any one time.
Needles work well on metal deck roofs where the load on the roof deck needs to be spread to avoid any damage to the roof area.
The needle is modular in design and can be configured in length, height and movement providing a fit for purpose solution based on the specific needs of the project.
