BTS Shipping Container Anchor Post & Horizontal Lifeline Kit

The BTS Shipping Container Anchor Post (SCAP) and Horizontal Lifeline Kit is designed to provide a limited free fall arrest system for working on top of a 20ft or 40ft shipping container.

SCAP can either be used on its own as a limited free fall arrest anchor or in conjunction with a Horizontal Lifeline System (HLS) depending on the demand of the work being carried out on the container.

The anchor post is designed to utilize the corner castings on the container as the installation point for the system.

The SCAP are installed by inserting the bottom of the post into the corner casting of the shipping container. Using the lever on top of the post, (turn anti-clockwise to tighten), adjust the locking nut in the container casting such that it sits perpendicular to the opening slot of the cast.

Shipping Container Anchor Post (CBPOST22KN) – dynamically tested to 22kN as per section 6.3.2.2 of AS/NZS5532:2013 and statically tested to 22kN as per section 6.3.1 of AS/NZS5532:2013.

The Horizontal Lifeline System is installed by setting up two Shipping Container Anchor Posts (SCAP) on either corner of a long side of the container and connecting the ZERO Z-Line temporary 20m static lifeline system to each end container anchor posts. 

The Z-Line 35mm polyester webbing is tensioned using the ratchet.

The Horizontal Lifeline System is dynamically tested as an assembly with the CBPOST22KN to 22kN as per Appendix D of AS/NZS1891.2:2001 and statically tested as an assembly with the CBPOST18KN to 12kN as per Appendix E of AS/NZS1891.2:2001.
