Tractel Blocstop™ BS/BSO 500 Automatic Overspeed Braking System – 1,500 lb Capacity for Dual 5/16 in. Wire Rope - 22089

Product Description

The Tractel Blocstop™ BS/BSO 500 Automatic Overspeed Braking System is a dedicated safety solution that has been engineered to provide reliable fall protection for dual-wire man-riding and vertical access systems. Designed for use with double 5/16 in. (8.4 mm) wire rope. This system supports loads up to 1,500 lbs (680 kg) and gives users dependable overspeed protection in critical personnel lifting applications.

The BS/BSO 500 continuously monitors descent speed on both ropes and automatically activates the braking mechanism if an overspeed or unsafe condition is detected. This immediate mechanical response arrests downward movement, and helps prevent uncontrolled descent. This helps by improving overall system safety. The fully mechanical design requires no electrical power, ensuring consistent operation even in harsh, remote, or hazardous work environments.
