The BTS AirHook Lite

The BTS AirHook Lite

The AirHook Lite is a mobile overhead fall protection anchor system designed for site portability and rapid deployment. Allows for easy movement around a site to suit both working at height, and confined space applications.

The AirHook Lite is a versatile portable engineered anchor system designed for applications where a fixed overhead anchor point is unavailable or inaccessible. With an adjustable mast height, it provides a compliant overhead anchor solution for fall protection, confined space entry and rescue across a wide range of industries.

Ideal for working on heavy machinery, highway trucks, generators, large plant equipment and other elevated work areas, the AirHook Lite also delivers a reliable overhead anchor for loading and unloading operations in warehouses and distribution centres. Its portable design allows the system to be easily relocated using a forklift, enabling a single unit to be quickly moved between multiple work areas to maximise productivity while maintaining a safe, compliant overhead anchorage.

When equipped with a Type 3 IKAR Self Retracting Lifeline with integrated Recovery Winch, the system provides both fall arrest protection and the ability to raise or lower a worker during emergency rescue operations. The recovery function is routed through a diversion sheave (pulley), allowing the rescue operation to be performed safely from ground level while maintaining a vertical lifting path.

Standard Features:

  • Overhead anchorage point for personal fall arrest systems.
  • Winch for raising and lowering vertical mast.
  • Built in visual overload fall indicator.
  • Mast can rotate 360ยฐ.
  • Counterweighted base with integrated forklift tine and pallet jack pockets for ease of mobility.
  • Bases can be seperated to be moved by smaller capacity forklifts.

Parts Identification

Parts Identification

The BTS AirHook Lite is supplied as a complete portable engineered height safety, confined space and rescue system, with every component designed for quick assembly, transport and deployment on site.

The modular design allows the system to be easily transported by forklift or suitable lifting equipment, making it ideal for projects where overhead anchor points are unavailable or where work locations frequently change.

Each component has been engineered for durability, ease of handling and rapid installation, helping reduce setup time while maintaining compliance with height safety and confined space entry requirements.

Configured for Confined Space Entry & Rescue

The BTS AirHook Lite can be configured as a portable confined space entry and rescue system by adding a range of optional components to suit your application.

When fitted with an IKAR Type 3 Self Retracting Lifeline with Recovery Winch, along with the required pulleys and mounting brackets, the system provides a compliant overhead anchor for confined space entry, fall protection and emergency retrieval.

Ideal for trenches, tanks, pits, pump stations, wet wells, vaults and other confined spaces, the AirHook Lite offers a versatile solution where permanent rescue infrastructure is unavailable, while remaining easy to transport and relocate around site.

Optional confined space accessories, including IKAR Type 3 inertia reels, pulleys and mounting brackets, are available separately.

SYSTEM TRANSPORT & POSITIONING

SYSTEM TRANSPORT & POSITIONING

The BTS AirHook Lite is designed to be moved using an appropriately rated forklift at speeds not exceeding 5 km/h (3 mph). It can also be repositioned on flat, level surfaces within warehouses or work sites using the optional BTS Custom 5T Pallet Jack.

Its exceptional mobility allows the system to be quickly relocated around site, reducing setup time and improving productivity across a wide range of applications. Whether used for height safety, confined space entry, rescue or maintenance work, the AirHook Lite provides a portable overhead anchorage solution where permanent anchor points are unavailable or impractical.
