The document describes the LinkedPro fall protection system, which allows multiple lifelines to be connected to a single anchor point. This allows workers to safely pass one another on roofs, walls, or ceilings without disconnecting from their lifelines. Key features include the ability to connect up to six users to a single system, integrated shock absorbers for safety and to protect structures, and flexibility to configure the system in various ways. The system is modular, easy to install, and can expand existing setups in a cost-effective manner.

- 4. A total of three lines can be attached to a single LinkedPro lifeline track anchor point so that users of the LinkedPro system can pass one another easily, and in complete safety, without having to disconnect their lifelines. In the case of wall and ceiling systems, where passing zones are often limited and narrow, LinkedPro removes all the risks for the user. Because users have their own lifelines, they can pass one another simply and safely. On roofs, these risks can also be removed by mounting the lifelines on both sides of the system and creating more freedom of movement. ECONOMICAL INGENUITY LinkedPro combines safety and user convenience with economic benefit. Several people can use one system with less fall protection equipment be- ing required. Moreover, the rapid installation method saves costs.

RAPIDINSTALLATION ORSIMPLEEXPANSION A single drill hole is sufficient to attach a LinkedPro anchor point firmly to the roof.This method has minimum impact on the structure and is suitable for a great many types of roofs and materials. All XSPlatform anchor points have an attractive design and can be finished neatly so that the effect on the roof is minimized. EXPANSION OF EXISTING XSLINKED SYSTEM A standard XSPlatforms lifeline system can be modified for use by various users by means of a few quick, easy actions. The XSLinked system can be expanded simply and cost efficiently to LinkedPro by adding the requisite extra Pro-components to the existing anchor points. The latter remain in- tact. Lifeline systems on walls or ceilings can also easily be expanded to LinkedPro.
- 7. WALL Fall protection is not only essential during activi- ties on roofs. Work is also often carried out at height along walls. With the LinkedPro wall sys- tem, users benefit from optimum safety and freedom of movement. Two to four people can enjoy the advantages of a single wall system us- ing only two lifelines. ■■ Suitable for almost every type of wall ■■ Two lifelines per track ■■ Suitable for one to four users. ■■ Suitable for systems at hip and shoulder heights ROOF The LinkedPro roof system enables the connec- tion of two to six users to one system simulta- neously (with a maximum of three lifelines). The users are continually secured and enjoy opti- mum freedom of movement on both sides of the lifelines. ■■ Suitable for almost every type of roof ■■ Between two and three steel cables ■■ Suitable for one to six users. ■■ Clear identification as a result of colored spacers ■■ Possibility of expanding your existing XSLinked tracks to LinkedPro CEILING The LinkedPro ceiling system is the answer if a roof or wall system is not possible. It is ideal for narrow working areas, as in the case of window-cleaning activities along awnings. ■■ Suitable for almost every type ceiling ■■ Suitable for one to four users. ■■ Two lifelines per track ■■ Less expensive and more flexible than overhead rail systems
- 8. One of the most practical advantages of the LinkedPro lifeline system is its flexibility when used on roofs. The lifelinescanbeusedindifferentwaysonasinglesystem.Variousconfigurationsarepossible,makingLinkedPro the most practical and user-friendly system on the market. And, thanks to the XSPoint, all configurations are absolutelysafe,too. VARIOUSTRACKSWITH ALIFELINESYSTEM INSTALLATION OF THE LIFELINES If the activities to be carried out on the roof take place on one side of the system, the standard set-up can be opted for. In the standard set-up, the lifelines are attached to the same side of the anchor point. However, in a situation in which work must be carried out on both sides of the system, a different set-up may be preferable. In this case, one or more lifelines are attached to opposite sides, which makes it easier for users to pass one another. MULTIPLE TRACKS WITH COLORED MARKINGS Besides the advantage that several users can pass one another safely, LinkedPro offers another extra. Because of its modular character, multiple tracks can be realized on a roof. Tracks can, if required, be marked with colored spacers and zones can be marked to indicate tripping hazards.

- 9. SAFE AND USER FRIENDLY The LinkedPro system can be expanded with an XSPoint; this is an access point which makes it impossible to disconnect from the lifeline at a danger- ous spot. Since the LinkedPro system comprises multiple lines, and several people work on them at the same time, a slider will have to be able to make certain angles more frequently. The XSSlider Pro provides the solution in this case. The XSSlider Pro can easily make an angle of up to 40° as a result of the addi- tion of the integrated ‘guiding sleeve’ (a rotating tube). As soon as the guiding sleeve reaches a bracket, it automatically turns and moves into the correct position for smooth passage of the spacers and bends. XSSLIDERPRO &XSPOINT UNIVERSALLY APPLICABLE FOR ROOF, WALL AND CEILING The LinkedPro system with the XSSlider Pro is suitable for use on roofs and walls, and can be installed on concrete, steel and brick. The XSSlider Pro has plus-points, particularly in the case of wall systems, when the slider has to be able to make certain angles more frequently. For ceiling systems, there is the XSSlider overhead Pro, which works on ex- actly the same principle as the XSlider Pro.The XSSlider overhead Pro makes it possible to work obliquely at an angle of 40° under the ceiling system. SECURED EVERYWHERE THANKS TO THE XSPOINT The XSSlider Pro and overhead Pro can only be used in combination with an XSPoint.This is a special connecting and disconnecting point for the XSSlider which makes it impossible for users to connect to or disconnect from the lifeline at any random spot elsewhere along it.This can only take place via an XSPoint, which is located in an entirely safe zone.
- 10. The LinkedPro system is the only system on the market which enables multiple users to use the same lifeline track safely. And by combin- ing LinkedPro with an XSPoint access point, the safety of the user can be maximized. Hazardous situations are avoided since the user can only hook on or off in a safe zone. The XSImpact Pro anchor point has an intelli- gent response mechanism which, if a user falls, bends in the same direction, absorbing the en- ergy which is released as it does so. This means that longer distances can be bridged between two anchor points and that fewer anchor points are needed than with comparable systems. Wall and ceiling tracks also have an integrated shock absorber in the form of the XSDynamic. XSPlatforms guarantee quick and easy installa- tion by means of a single anchor for each anchor point, as is the case with the standard XSLinked systems. LinkedPro has been designed such that it is four to five times faster to install than its competitors. The integrated shock absorber in the XSImpact Pro and XSDynamic ensures that even very light, fragile roof, wall and ceiling structures are not damaged in the event of a fall. The anchor points can be used on all types of roofs, walls and ceilings due to the high absorp- tive capacity of the built-in shock absorber. As- sembly sets are available for different sorts of roofing material. As a result of the use of strong anchor points and multiple lifelines, up to as many as six people can work safely and comfortably on a LinkedPro lifeline track at the same time. Work can, therefore, be carried out faster and more efficiently, something that benefits not only the users, but also the building owners and clients. The LinkedPro system is modular and can be used in various configurations, varying from one to three lines. XSLinked tracks which have already been installed can also be expanded, easily and economically, to a LinkedPro system.

PROJECT Client: De Boer Roof Safety Solutions Architect: Vanhecke & Suls Site: Schoten, Belgium Sector: Non-residential building System: LinkedPro roof system for green roofs and the LinkedPro ceiling system “Due to their location, the premises on the Albertkanaal can be subject to very high winds. It is ex- tremely important that window-cleaners have safe, effortless access to the large window areas of this property. With the LinkedPro system, window-cleaners can pass one another easily on the relatively small working area, without having to disconnect themselves. Thanks to the LinkedPro system, maintenance activities can be carried out faster, more efficiently and more economically.” Koen de Maesschalk, Business Unit Manager De Boer Roof Safety Solutions
