1.0 APPLICATIONS
1.1 PURPOSE: The Trolley Anchorage Connector is
designed to move along horizontal beams with an attached personal fall arrest system. This trolley is to be used
only as a component of a personal fall arrest system. Do not hang, lift, or support tools or equipment from the
trolley.
A. FALL ARREST: The trolley is used as a component of a personal fall arrest system. Personal fall arrest
systems typically include a self retracting lifeline, connector to attach the self retracting lifeline to the trolley,
and full body harness. A personal fall arrest system is used where a free fall is possible before the fall is
arrested.
1.2 LIMITATIONS: Consider the following application limitations before using this equipment:
A. BEAMS: The trolley may be used on beam flanges 4 inches to 14 inches wide and up to 1 1/8 inches thick.
The beam structure must meet the strength requirements specified in section 2.4. The beam must be
horizontal and level.
B. CAPACITY: The trolley is designed for use by person with a combined weight (clothing, tools, etc.) of no
more than 310 lbs. Only one personal fall arrest system may be connected to a single trolley.
C. PERSONAL FALL ARREST SYSTEM: Personal fall arrest systems used with the trolley must meet the
system requirements as specified in section 2.5.
D. FREE FALL: Personal fall arrest systems used with the trolley must be rigged to limit the free fall to six feet.
E. FALL CLEARANCE: There must be sufficient clearance below the user to arrest a fall before the user strikes
the ground or other obstruction. The clearance required is dependent on the following factors:
• Elevation of Trolley

• Worker height
F. TROLLEY LOAD ANGLE: Loads imposed on the trolley by the personal fall arrest system must remain within
thirty degrees of the vertical center line of the beam. See Figure 2.
