Présentation
Vue d'ensemble
The PATROL KIT 15 is a complete, ready-to-install kit from Rothoblaas — the Italian manufacturer distributed in Senegal by STI SARL — that packages every component needed to build a 15-metre horizontal lifeline: two PATROLTERM stainless steel end terminals, one SPEAR tensioner-absorber unit, a 16 m Ø8 mm stainless steel cable, and a 22 kN certified webbing lanyard. It belongs to the wider modular PATROL fall-protection system, sold in three ready-made spans (KIT 10, KIT 15 and KIT 30) alongside a full range of intermediate supports, corner brackets and roof/facade mounting accessories for wood, steel, or concrete substructures. Because the same spring-loaded SPEAR terminals act simultaneously as tensioner and shock absorber, PATROL can span up to 15 metres between anchor points while compensating for thermal expansion and keeping installation and annual inspection simple, tool-free operations. This makes the KIT 15 a practical turnkey option for roofers, maintenance technicians and installers who need certified fall protection on pitched or flat roofs and facades without engineering a custom line from individual parts.
How it works
Two PATROLTERM stainless-steel terminals are fixed to the structure (roof, facade, or steelwork) at each end of the run, and the 16 m Ø8 mm 7x7 stainless steel cable is threaded between them. The SPEAR tensioner-absorber unit — combining a spring-loaded tensioning function with an energy dissipater — is fitted at one end, allowing quick manual tensioning without crimping tools or heavy machinery, while automatically taking up thermal expansion/contraction of the cable across seasons. A mobile fall-arrest device then runs freely along the cable, letting the worker move continuously across the full span while staying attached. The system is designed for visual, tool-free inspection and retensioning, with a recommended check every 12 months after first installation.
