Loading System MkII General

General
The Loading System MkII has been designed to enable the loading and
unloading of equipment from a flatbed truck or trailer in a safe manner.
The Loading System MkII incorporates a SkyReach Anchor unit which is
connected by a Self-Retracting Cable Lifeline to the full body safety harness
worn by the operative.
The SkyReach Anchor is designed to deform, absorb the energy and reduce
the resulting forces, when a fall occurs.
When working at lower heights, the system can be equipped with the Top
Column 4.7. In this configuration the anchor point is located 4,7 m above
ground level. When working at higher positions the system can be equipped
with the SkyReach Adaptor 5.9 which locates the anchor point 5,9 m above
ground level. The combination of Loading System MkII and SkyReach
Anchor, is tested to prove compliance to EN 795:2012 Type E, and is CE-
certified by DEKRA EXAM GmbH, Dinnendahlstraße 9, 44809 Bochum,
Germany, with identification no 0158.
The Loading System MkII can be used on a construction site or in a loading
yard and it can be moved to alternative locations as needed. To ease
transportation and storage, the Loading System MkII is designed to be flat
packed and stackable. When flat packed the total height of the base is 0,6 m.
The SkyReach Anchor itself can be separated and folded for ease of transport
between locations.
When used for unloading a trailer up to 8 m in length, the Loading System
MkII Single Unit can be used. If unloading a trailer between 8 and 14 m in
length, the Loading System MkII Double Unit should be used.
Read carefully through this user instruction before use of the product. In case
of questions and for clarification, please contact Combisafe for support.

Safety Instructions
The Loading System MkII is intended for the purpose stated in this user
instruction only, any other usage is not recommended. The product is used to
protect workers operating at height and if used incorrectly, there is a potential
risk of accidents to both the user and other people in the vicinity. Please read
this manual carefully before any usage.
• Under no circumstances may the product be used as a makeshift crane or
lifting/lowering device.
• Under no circumstances may any items other than those provided with the
system be used either in replacement or through choice as this may affect
the performance of the product.
• Care should be taken in the transportation of the product between
locations. If any damage is found on any part, the item must be withdrawn
from use, inspected by a trained person and replaced if required.
• Care should be taken while installing the product and if any damage
occurs or is found in any part, the item should be withdrawn from use,
inspected by a trained person and replaced if required.
• The site location where the Loading System MkII is being used should
have a rescue plan in place, in case of a fall incident.
• The device is intended for use by one person at a time only. Under no
circumstances may multiple persons be attached to the device.
• Where the base is positioned directly onto rough ground, as opposed to
hard standing concrete, sole plates of suitable size and strength should be
placed under the feet of the base to safely transmit and sustain a load of
up to 2,5 N/mm².
• Do not lift the Loading System MkII unit or any of its components by crane,
except for the SkyReach Anchor unit itself.
• When a crane is lifting the SkyReach Anchor unit, be aware of the
movements made by the crane and keep workers at a safe distance.
• The SkyReach Anchor is intended to be used within a zero factor fall
arrest system. Make sure that the anchorage is always overhead and the
lifeline is taut between the anchorage point and the worker.
• The maximum vertical deflection of the anchor point that can occur during
service is 0,7 m.
• In case this product is re-sold outside the original country of destination, it
is essential that the reseller provides user instructions in the
language of the country in which the system is to be used.
• When referring to any components of the system not produced by
Combisafe, please refer to the specific user guide/manual for that item.

Safety Instructions Loading System MkII

• PFPE to be used together with the Loading System MkII must be
CE-certified and approved in the specific country of usage.
• It is forbidden to use the products stated in this user instruction when
pregnant, suffering from cardiovascular disease, affected by alcohol or
drugs or other health issues that might affect your mental or physical
capacity.
Always check products and equipment before use
Check all component parts of the Loading Systemm MkII before assembly.

applies to work carried out from MEWPs (Mobile Elevating Working
Platforms).

NOTE
Periodic inspection/inspection after a fall
To ensure the function and safety of the system, a safety inspection of the
Loading System Base, the SkyReach Anchor and the PFPE, needs to be
done by a competent person at least once every 12 months. The inspections
must be documented in a component record.
If an accident has occurred, e.g. a person falls, the items must be immediately
withdrawn from use and inspected by a competent person according to the
manufacturer´s safety check.
Please contact Combisafe for more information regarding inspections and
associated documentation.
The SkyReach Anchor is designed to deform when a fall occurs, to
absorb the energy and to reduce the resulting forces. When tested,
the maximum vertical deflection of the anchor point is 0,7 m.
Remember
• Plan fall prevention at an early stage, this will benefit everyone.
• Use only safety-checked products.
• Restrict access below and around installation and working area to prevent
injury to others from any fall hazard.
• Use tools designed for the type of work to be carried out.
• Keep the installation area in order.
• A safe workplace is a good workplace.
• Many fall accidents occur from a low height.
• Parts might be slippery when wet, be cautious when handling.
