Product Specific Applications

Personal Fall Arrest: PitchPro may be used to support a MAXIMUM 1 PFAS for use in Fall Arrest

applications. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of

at least 5,000 lbs. Maximum free fall is 6‘, or up to 12’ if used in combination with equipment

explicitly certified for such use. Applicable D-ring: Dorsal.

Restraint: PitchPro may be used in Restraint applications. Restraint systems prevent workers

from reaching the leading edge of a fall hazard. Always account for fully deployed length of

lanyard/SRL. Structure must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system

of at least 1,000 lbs. No free fall is permitted. Restraint systems may only be used on surfaces

with slopes up to 4/12 (vertical/horizontal). Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Side, Shoulder.

WARNING

Use of equipment in unintended applications may result in serious

injury or death. Maximum 1 attachment per connection point.

For all applications: worker weight capacity range

(including all clothing, tools, and equipment) is 130-420 lbs.

Rescue/Confined Space: PitchPro may be used in Rescue/Confined Space applications. Rescue

systems function to safely recover a worker from a confined location or after exposed to a fall.

There are various configurations of Rescue systems depending on the type of rescue. Structure

must withstand loads applied in the directions permitted by the system of at least 3,000 lbs. No

free fall is permitted. Applicable D-rings: Dorsal, Chest, Shoulder.

Work Positioning: PitchPro may be used in Work Positioning applications. Work Positioning

Limitations

Fall Clearance: There must be sufficient clearance below the anchorage connector to arrest a fall before the

user strikes the ground or any obstruction. When calculating fall clearance, account for a MINIMUM 2’ safety

factor, free fall, deceleration distance, harness stretch, swing fall, and all other applicable factors.

Diagram shown is an example fall clearance calculation ONLY.

Fall clearance calculation shown based on standing

worker falling directly in-line with anchor point.

Always consider potential swing fall and other

hazards when calculating fall clearance.

*Eliminate Swing Fall whenever

possible! If Swing Fall exists,

always account for additional

fall clearance.

Swing Falls: Prior to installation or use, make considerations for eliminating or minimizing all swing fall

hazards. Swing falls occur when the anchor is not directly above the location where a fall occurs. Always work

as close to in line with the anchor point as possible. Swing falls significantly increase the likelihood of serious

injury or death in the event of a fall.
