As great as it may be to work at lofty heights, the risk of injury is undeniable. Occupational safety is therefore a key issue for cable cars. Since 1997, IMMOOS has not only covered the subject of cable car rescue but also – as a specialist company – offered the complete range of fall-protection equipment. With extensive know-how and experience, IMMOOS is able to offer the right protective equipment for any work situation.

In the area of PPEaF (personal protective equipment against falls), a distinction is drawn between safety sets, restraint sets and positioning sets. So-called comrade rescue is likewise an important topic. A comrade rescue set facilitates the rescue of employees who have fallen into their PPEaF and can no longer help themselves. IMMOOS specifically offers the following components:

The safety set limits the fall distance in freefall and ensures that users are held by the system once it has caught them. However, it does not prevent the risk of a fall.

The restraint set limits the range of movement, so that users cannot reach areas where there is a risk of falling. It does not serve to catch users who fall or as a body retention device.

The positioning set prevents freefall and allows users to reach positions that require them to lean into or be suspended in the system.

This set allows the rescue of people who are suspended in a safety device. It is suitable for all PPE sets, it is multifunctional and it can be used with additional materials including fall- protection equipment.

The set for industrial climbing and cable access technology provides the individual basic equipment for working on a suspended cable. It is suitable for the broadest range of operations and allows abseiling even from great heights.

For climbing cable car masts as well as other industrial ladders, IMMOOS has also had a popular, tried and tested climbing protection system for many years. This is called “Fallbloc”. A fall arrester runs on a permanently installed wire cable and accompanies the user during upward and downward movement.

The device locks automatically in case of a fall and arrests the fall. Furthermore, the “Fallbloc” system is also very popular, thanks to the cable guides that can be travelled over.

However, IMMOOS is not only a manufacturer and dealer but also regards itself primarily as a service provider. With professional and practical training on correct use of the equipment, annual inspections or equipment overhauls, and bespoke concepts, IMMOOS genuinely offers the complete range of services and is the competent partner for cable car safety.
