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 Lifeline (SRL) 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 comply with 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 uncertainties, please contact
Combisafe for support.

Loading System MkII Technical Data
Personal Fall Protection Equipment
To create a complete system to protect the operative when
working at height, the Loading System MkII including SkyReach
Anchor needs to be equipped with Personal Fall Protection
Equipment (PFPE). Figure 10 shows an example of how to equip
the SkyReach Anchor with recommended PFPE. All PFPE that is
used must be certified and approved in the specific country of
use.
The following PFPE is approved to be used together with the
SkyReach Anchor and the Loading System MkII:
SRL
Fall Arrest Block certified to EN 360.
Only the Miller Falcon 6,2 m, or the Miller Falcon 10 m when
a Double Unit is used, has been tested and approved in
combination with the Loading System MkII and SkyReach
Anchor, and thus the only SRL (Self Retracting Lifeline) that
will enable the system to be CE certified. Use of other SRL will
invalidate the CE certification.
Harness
Full body harnesses certified to EN 361
Lanyard
Non shock absorbing lanyards certified to EN 354
Can be used separately or in combination with EN 355 certified
lanyard, or with a max length of 0,6 m in combination with the
Falcon Fall Arrest Block.
Lanyard
Shock absorbing lanyards certified to EN 355
Can be used separately or in combination with an EN 354
certified lanyard. Must NOT be combined with the Falcon Fall
Arrest Block.

Loading System MkII Technical data
Ballast
The Loading System MkII Base needs to be loaded with a
minimum 1500 kg of suitable ballast to keep it stable and meet
the requirements in the standard. The ballast can be applied in
three different ways, which are presented below. Further details
on how to perform the ballast loading procedures are described
in the Assembly chapter.
• Precast Kentledge
The Precast Kentledge is a 800 kg concrete block designed to fit
into the Loading System MkII Base. Using two units of the Precast
Kentledge is enough to achieve the weight requirement and provide
margin in case of wear of the blocks. These should be ordered as an
option as they are not included as a standard. It is recommended to
use these blocks due to its precise weight and safe positioning.
• Concrete box cast on site or gravel box
For this option, the Formwork Supports should be ordered, as they are
not included in Loading System MkII as standard. With the Formwork
Supports mounted, a plywood box inside the Loading System MkII
Base will make it possible to cast concrete into the box directly on
site. It is also possible to fill the plywood box with gravel.
• Other ballast option
In case none of the standard solutions noted above is used, it is
possible to use other ballast types. In this case it is the customer’s
responsibility to ensure that the ballast:
• Has a weight no less than 1500kg,
• Is distributed centrally on the Bottom Frame of the Loading Sys-
tem MkII Base,
• Has no possibility of movement.

Assembly Loading System MkII
Assembly
Assembling the Loading System MkII
The following information and illustrations are a step by step
guide on how to rig a Loading System MkII including a SkyReach
Anchor unit successfully. The Loading System MkII can be used
with any of the three ballast options described. Please refer to the
appropriate instruction pertaining to the actual case.
Before attempting to rig a Loading System MkII unit, please make
sure you have the following tools:
• Hammer, 22 mm spanner or adjustable spanner for adjusting the feet
• Spirit level.
• Crane for installation of the SkyReach unit.
• Fork lift truck, or equivalent, for lifting the component parts.
Installation instructions for Loading System MkII
1. Make sure that the ground, where the Loading System MkII
is placed, is relatively flat. The Loading System MkII Base has
adjustable feet which are designed to adjust within a 5 degree
inclination. Use a fork lift truck to handle the Bottom Frame,
place the forks underneath the horizontal tubes into the fork
guiding profiles prior to lifting, see Figure 12. Place the Bot-
tom Frame on the ground. Use a spirit level to make sure that
the Bottom Frame is level. If not, rotate the feet by hand or
use a 22 mm spanner or a hammer to strike on the Adjust-
ing Bar to adjust the feet until the Bottom Frame is level, see
Figure 13.
