QAB Systems Ladder Support Bracket for 358 Prison Mesh

QAB Systems Ladder Support Bracket for 358 Prison Mesh

358 Security Mesh or Prison Mesh is considered the global standard for creating a very secure perimeter defence. It is very strong and is difficult to cut with regular tools so will act as a deterrent to an opportunistic thief. It is quite difficult to climb and when topped with something additional like razor wire it is a great security solution. It is most usually seen around prisons and military bases; anywhere that needs significant protection.

Though it provides a very visible deterrent for a sensitive or high security site, its installation and ongoing maintenance can be costly, and dangerous to workers. Working at height is one of the main causes of accidents in the workplace, even falling from lower heights can cause significant injuries that someone may never totally recover from. This is not good for the worker clearly, but what is also at risk is the good reputation of a business.

The QAB System was designed to end the non-rated, sometimes home-made solutions used to secure ladders to security mesh and the consequent unsafe practices. It is a light weight and very easily transportable system that doesn't need ground surveys. It is safe and industry compliant, and can reduce access costs.

Common causes of injury arising from unstable ladders are falls and the ladder slipping or falling backwards. The Ladder Support Bracket allows a simple, quick, safe and secure process of attaching ladders to 358 Mesh fencing. It is designed to be used with the QAB ladder system, a support leg, and with 358 welded mesh panels. The bracket fits through the mesh panel, the tube is attached to this with pins provided. This forms a horizontal bar that will attach to an upright alloy tube with the foot on firm ground then the ladder is attached to the horizontal bar.

The bracket comprises fence attachment bracket, ladder attachment spade, alloy pins and cotter pins.

This equipment can be used for personal access and is rated to a safe working load of 120kg, but shouldn't be pushed beyond its limits or be used for purposes other than those it has been designed for.
