The sky is the limit with Miller from Sperian
Working at heights with horizontal lifeline systems has never been easier thanks to the
new SkyGrip™ systems from Miller by Sperian, which require little effort to install and
provide workers with continuous fall protection and horizontal mobility.
Engineered to be attached to a steel or concrete structure and using a unique
stanchion style system, the Miller SkyGrip Temporary Horizontal Lifeline (HLL) offers a
range of innovative features not commonly available with other systems.
The modular design with interchangeable bases of the Miller SkyGrip HLL systems enables
the system to be converted to both steel and concrete applications. This makes the
Miller SkyGrip HLLs the economical solution for companies seeking to maximise
investment and increase user mobility and productivity. The new Miller SkyGrip Horizontal
Lifeline systems feature a unique stanchion adjustment that allows the anchorage to be
re-positioned, minimising obstruction and increasing safety.
The stanchions are offset from the beam so workers can move freely without risk of trip
hazards. As an additional application, the stanchions can also serve as single anchor
points.
The range of unique features such as single person span systems, tension indicator, in line
energy absorber, interchangeable bases between steel and concrete applications,
durable zinc plated steel construction that is corrosion resistant providing increased
durability and service life makes the Miller SkyGrip systems your first choice in HLLs. The
compact stainless steel Miller SkyGrip energy absorber was engineered to keep system
forces consistent during a fall minimising fall clearance and maintaining low system
forces for up to 6 workers on the system for steel and up to 5 workers on the system for
concrete applications.
Compact and lightweight, the Miller SkyGrip Temporary HLL is easy to install and store.
For increased worker safety and productivity, a quick-grip above-the-beam adjustment
allows for easy one person installation and dismantling.
The Miller SkyGrip Horizontal Lifeline Systems are suitable for applications such as steel
construction, commercial/industrial building construction, precast concrete construction, leading edge deck work, bridge construction and general maintenance.
The Miller SkyGrip meets OSHA and ANSI A10.32-2004 requirements and the requirements
set forth in AS/NZS1891.2.
