MultiAccess I

Establish a fast and simple solution to suspended access work:

Access to windows and facades for maintenance tasks cannot always be achieved using ground based solutions or mobile elevated work platforms. In these cases MultiAccess I provides a safe solution.

The simple compact design, combined with the systems operational range, offers versatile access possibilities. To achieve a safe access solution, the worker simply needs;

• Two anchorage points conforming to EN795
• The MultiAccess 1 Kit
• Simple training in the competent use of the product
• From then on, façade maintenance and inspection tasks can be carried out in comfort and safety.
• MultiAccess I consists of the following building blocks:
• A LiftEvac or LiftEvac Double with the appropriate rope length
• A Full Body Harness (MKA20 E Click) fitted with a back support
• A work seat (FR 2) inclusive of a footrest
• 12mm lanyard of the appropriate length + mobile fall arrestor (AH3F-12KM)

All components can also be used independently as personal protective equipment against a fall in the unlikely event of system breakdown.

How to operate with MultiAccess I

After connecting the LiftEvac and rope lanyard to their anchor points (ensuring ropes are protected around building or structural edges) the operative can safely descend or ascend the façade of the building or structure with the benefit of:

• Controlled lowering
• Controlled raising
• Controlled descent in an emergency or when the work task is finished
• A comfortable sitting system
• Low energy expenditure through the use of the two handled LiftEvac
• A purely mechanical system, completely independent of power

MultiAccess II

A safe system for confined space access and egress. Carrying out operations in confined spaces such as manholes, sewers, water treatment works, storm drains, vessels and silos present a significant challenge for the safety of the worker and those planning and supervising the work. Very often suitable access and anchor points are not available and transportable systems are required. MultiAccess II offers a unique solution for a variety of work situations by incorporating:

1. A tripod for positioning over the access point to the workplace
2. Handrails fixed to the tripod to assist the worker when gaining access in and out of the access point to the workplace (patent pending)
3. The Liftevac device to lower and raise the worker in and out of the workplace and recover them efficiently and effectively in case of an emergency. From the tripod leg a rescue speed of 5m/min can be achieved.
4. Protection against a slip or fall can be offered by the use of an additional fall protection device such as a retractable fall arrest device if required

Where a fixed anchor point exists over head, the Liftevac System can be used in conjunction with the Mono-leg A 130 System.

MultiAccess III

Not all tanks, containers, silos or confined spaces are accessible from above, but rather from the side via a small entrance point. In this case, access in and out of the work area can be very difficult and in the case of rescue, such an operation presents many challenges.

MultiAccess III offers an optimum solution by providing a side mounted anchor point combined with an access and rescue chute. In this way an injured or unconscious worker can be retrieved from inside the work area without the need to send in and put at risk additional personnel. The combination of the anchor point, LiftEvac and evacuation chute allows the rescuer to get the casualty out of the confined space without causing injury when hauling them around the sharp angles of the opening. Once on the evacuation chute, the casualty can be moved with the benefit of full body support. (In order for the MultiAccess III to be effective, the worker must be attached to the Liftevac system at all times.)
