AFT730013 Tank / Vessel Flange Adapter:
KStrong Flange Adapter Plate has been designed as a portable anchor to be attached to various size tanks or vessels allowing the KStrong
Pole Hoist to be attached directly above the tank / Vessel opening to be used for horizontal access / rescue with the pole hoist system. It can
be installed on a round or square shape flanges with hole diameter of 35mm, (refer drawing 1) rated at 23kN.provide a simple and effective
means for Horizontal rescues.
Flange Adapter Plate Installation:
Connect the Adapter plate directly onto the Flange of the tank or vessel using the existing holes, (refer drawing 2) and High Tensile Bolts to
attach the plate to the Flange. Refer hole size and thickness of Tank or vessel Flange to determine bolt size.
Drawing 2
The Adapter Plate and Bolts must be installed by qualified and experienced personnel.
Once installed you can now attach the Pole Hoist directly to the Swivel Anchor point on the Flange adapter with a rated Karabiner. (refer
drawing 3).
All installations “MUST BE” approved to local standards by a qualified engineer.

lEnsure that the minimum breaking strength of the chosen anchor point is greater than 12kN.
lEnsure that the harness used conforms to EN361 and dorsal and sternal attachment of full body harness are suggested for making
connections.
lFor equipment intended for use in fall arrest systems, we emphasize that it is essential for safety that the anchor device or anchor point
should always be positioned and the work carried out in such a way as to minimize both the potential for falls and potential fall distance.
Where it is essential that the anchor device/point is placed above the position of the user, the manufacturer shall make a statement to that
effect
lA full body harness is the only acceptable body holding device that can be used in a fall arrest system.
lFor equipment intended for use in fall arrest systems, we emphasize that it is essential for safety to verify the free space required beneath
the user at the workplace before each occasion of use, so that in case of a fall there will be no collision with the ground or other obstacle in the
fall path.
lAlways use standard packaging of the manufacturer to prevent any damage to the product during transportation and storage.
lEnsure that Equipment is properly installed on the surface parallel to horizontal by height adjuster mechanism.
