Portable Fall Protection Roof Anchors System

We are the Canadian distributor for the AES Raptor roof fall protection system.  The Raptor provides a solution for companies looking for a portable fall protection for temporary use.  The Raptor is available in many different configurations to suit the customer’s requirements and it meets the applicable OSHA and Canadian Occupational Health and Safety Standards.

How Does it Work?
The AES Raptor is a mobile fall protection cart designed for use on flat roofs.  No assembly is necessary.  Simply hoist the Raptor to the roof, position it 15’ from the leading edge, hook your safety lines to the Roof Safety Engagement Device and you are ready to work.  The AES Raptor R1000 includes an OSHA compliant safety system as well as a 16 cubic foot job box.  If sufficient force is exerted on the Roof Safety Engagement Device, the retracted claw will be activated and will penetrate into the roof to anchor the cart to the roof to sustain the fall.

CSA
A representative of the Product Group, Mechanical Engineering Department of CSA International verbally informed AES on May 24, 2007, that CSA did not have any standards or requirements which include the AES Raptor R1000 Mobile Fall Protection System.  CSA reached this conclusion after several telephone conversations and completion of their review of the AES Raptor website.
