Shipping Container Anchor Post | Height Safety

The BTS Shipping Container Anchor Post (CBPOST22KN) either with or without a Horizontal Lifeline System (LIFELINEKIT-40A OR -20A) is designed to provide a limited free fall arrest system for working on top of a shipping container.

SCAP can either be used on its own as a limited free fall arrest anchor or in conjunction with a Horizontal Lifeline System (HLS) depending on the demand of the work being carried out on the container.

The anchor post is designed to utilize the corner castings on the container as the installation point for the system.
There are restrictions and limitations that must be carefully considered in the selection, installation and operation of this equipment.

Safe Working Zones

Before using the SCAP, the user needs to be equipped with appropriate PPE and a full body harness compliant to AS/NZS1891.1.

An SRL shall be attached to the SCAP personnel attachment point which gets attached to the harness of the user.
When working close to the edge of the container, the worker shall not be further than 600mm of the installed anchor point. This is the safe working zone to prevent a pendulum effect from occurring in case of a fall.

Horizontal Lifeline System

The Horizontal Lifeline System is installed by setting up two Shipping Container Anchor Posts on either corner of a long side of the container and connecting the wire rope kit (LIFELINEKIT-20A or LIFELINEKIT-40A) using a polyester tie off strap and karabiner on one side and ratchet and webbing strap on the other. The wire rope is tensioned using the ratchet.
Prior to using this system, the user needs to be wearing a full body harness (compliant to AS/NZS1891.1) and connected to the Horizontal Lifeline System using an SRL.
