NOTE: SOME SPECIALITY CONNECTORS HAVE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS.
CONTACT SAFEWAZE WITH QUESTIONS.
Using a connector that is undersized or irregular in shape (1) to connect a snap hook
or carabiner could allow the connector to force open the gate of the snap hook or
carabiner. When force is applied, the gate of the hook or carabiner presses against
the non-compliant part (2) and forces open the gate (3). This allows the snap hook or
carabiner to disengage (4) from the connection point.
Page 5
Connectors are compatible with connecting elements when they have been designed
to work together in such a way that their sizes and shapes do not cause their
gate mechanisms to inadvertently open regardless of how they become oriented.
Connectors (hooks, carabiners, and D-rings) must be capable of supporting at least
5,000 lbs. (22.2 kN). Connectors must be compatible with the anchorage or other
system components. Do not use equipment that is not compatible. Non-compatible
connectors may unintentionally disengage (See Figure 2). Connectors must be
compatible in size, shape, and strength. Self-locking snap hooks and carabiners are
required by ANSI Z359 and OSHA guidelines. Contact SafeWaze
if you have any questions about compatibility.

7.0 Making Connections
Snap Hooks and Carabiners must be ANSI Z359.12 compliant with a double locking
gate. Ensure all connections are compatible in size, shape and strength. Do not use
equipment that is not compatible. Ensure all connectors are fully closed and locked.
SafeWaze connectors (snap hooks and carabiners) are designed to be used only
as specied in each product’s user’s instructions. See Figure 3 for examples of
inappropriate connections. Do not connect snap hooks and carabiners:
• To a D-ring to which another connector is attached.
• In a manner that would result in a load on the gate (with the exception of tie back
hooks).
• In a false engagement, where features that protrude from the snap hook or
carabiner catch on the anchor, and without visual conrmation seems to be fully
engaged to the anchor point.
• To each other.
• By wrapping the web lifeline around an anchor and securing to lifeline except as
allowed for Tie Back models.
• To any object which is shaped or sized in a way that the snap hook or carabiner will
not close and lock, or that roll-out could occur.
• In a manner that does not allow the connector to align properly while under load.
**NOTE: Large snap hooks must not be connected to objects which will result in a load on the gate if the hook twists
or rotates, unless the snap hook complies with ANSI Z359.1-2007 or ANSI Z359.12 and is equipped with a 3,600 lb
(16 kN) gate. Check the marking on your snap hook to verify its compatibility.
**NOTE: Large throat snap hooks must not be connected to standard size D-rings or similar objects which
will result in a load on the gate if the hook or D-ring twists or rotates, unless the snap hook complies with
ANSI Z359.1-2007 or ANSI Z359.12 and is equipped with a 3,600 lb (16 kN) gate. Check the marking on
your snap hook to verify that it is appropriate for your application.

10.0 Structure Load Requirements
The structure to which the Ladder Climb System is attached must be capable of
withstanding the total loads imposed by the system.
9.1 Static Loading: The static loads imposed on the system include the weight
of the top bracket, weight of the length of cable used with the system and a
Safety Factor. The following is an example of static loads imposed on the
system for a 50 ft (15.24 m) system:
Top Bracket Weight = 24 lbs (10.9 kg)
50 ft. (15.24 m) of 3/8” (9.5 mm) Galvanized Cable Weight = 13.25 lbs (6.01 kg)
Total Static Loading: (24 lbs + 13.25 lbs) x 1.2 (Safety Factor) = 47.3 lbs
9.2 Dynamic Loading: The following are the Dynamic Loads imposed onto the
Ladder Climb System per user:
One User = 2,700 lbs (12 kN)
Two Users = 3,320 lbs (14.76 kN)
Three Users = 3,940 lbs (17.51 kN)
Four Users = 4,560 lbs (20.27 kN)
9.3 Total Loading: The total load must account for the Static and Dynamic
Loading indicated above for the total length of the sytem. The following is
an example of the Total Loading imposed onto the structure given that the
example system is 50 ft (15.24 m) in length:
Static Loading for a 50 ft. (15.24 m) system = 47.3 lbs
Dynamic Load for Two Users = 3,320 lbs
Total Loading = 47.3 lbs + 3,320 lbs = 3,367.3 lbs
Total Loading of the system onto the attachment structure can be reduced by limiting
the number of user’s on the system.
Bottom Bracket Assembly: The bottom bracket assembly connection point
must be capable of supporting the system pretension load of 350 lbs (1.6 kN)
in the direction of loading. The required bracket load may be assumed to be
distributed evenly between the number of rung attachments for calculation
purposes.

User Manual
V1.7 2021 Copyright SafeWaze Page 11

Step 2: Connect the Cable to the Top Bracket
Prior to connecting the Cable Asembly to the Top Bracket, take the cable and uncoil it
on ground in a clean area and inspect for any damage. If any shipping damage is found
on the Cable Assembly, DO NOT USE.
To connect the cable to the Ladder Climb System, rst remove the Cable Connection
Bolt from the Top Bracket Assembly (See Figure 6A). Insert the thimble end of
the cable through the pre-cut slot in the bottom of the Top Bracket Assembly
(See Figure 6A). Align the thimble end of the Cable Assembly within the Top Bracket
and re-insert the Cable Connection Bolt through the Top Bracket and the thimble end
of cable. Thread nut onto the Cable Connection Bolt and tighten to 40 to 45 ft-lbs
(See Figure 6B & 6C).
Step 3: Install Cable Stand-O󰀨’s
The Ladder Climb System Cable Stand-O󰀨’s are designed to prevent abrasion of the
Cable Assembly on ladder rungs and to prevent excessive movement of the cable from
side to side while the user is climbing. They can also be used if high winds are
prevalent at the structure location to reduce harmonic vibration on the cable assembly.
The Stand-O󰀨’s should be installed every 25-30 ft. along the cable between the Top
and Bottom Brackets. See Figure 7A & 7B for typical installation. In instances where
