Overview

MIO Mechanical Corporation designed a new group of bi-directional rope and cable grabs. These grabs prevent slide along the angled lifeline in case of a fall. Horizontal lifeline (HLL) fall protection system typically incl udes: professionally engineered and installed horizontal lifeline, Unitensioner® or other devices that provide line tension and shock absorbing capabilities, anchors meeting OSHA and ANSI requirements, full body harness, lanyard used to attach the worker to the lifeline via hook, ring or other attachment devices.
In the event of a fall, the HLL will deflect forcing workers to slide toward the point of deflection, potentially colliding with each other.

MIO^® Bi-directional Cable Grabs for Single Span Lifeline Systems

for Horizontal Lifeline Systems (Model 53-HCG):

• Designed to work on 5/16” dia. and 3/8” dia. stainless steel or galvanized cable
• Easily attached to any point on the horizontal line with quick-release pins, permitting easy movement along the line
• During a fall specially designed lanyard activates grab’s brake mechanism preventing further movement of grab along the line, thus preventing possible injury
• Stainless Steel, corrosion-resistant design

for Angled Lifeline Systems (Model 53-ACG):

• Designed to work on 5/16” and 3/8” dia. Stainless Steel or Galvanized Cable
• Used on lifeline angled up to 45 degrees
• Stainless Steel Corrosion resistant design
• Easily attached to any point on line with quick release pins, permitting ease of movement

MIO^® Bi-directional Cable Grab for Horizontal and Angle Lines with Intermediate Supports

Bi-directional Cable Grabs with Rollstar allow worker to walk along the angled or horizontal lifeline and bypass intermediated supports without a need to disconnect from the lifeline. In the event of a fall, MIO Bi-directional Cable Grabs will prevent an uncontrollable slide ensuring workers safety. During a fall, a specially designed retractable lanyard activates MIO Bi-directional Cable Grab’s mechanism, arrests the fall and prevents slide of a grab along the angled line.

• Designed to work on 5/16" and 3/8" dia. Stainless Steel or Galvanized Cable
• Designed to be used on angled lifeline with multiple spans
• Can be used on lifelines angled up to 45 degrees (model: 53-ACGR)
• Stainless Steel Corrosion resistant design
• Can be installed on any point on the lifeline
• Meet OSHA and ANSI A10.32 requirements
