(54) | Anchor trolley and fall arrest system and method implementing the same |
(57) A fall arrest anchor trolley for arresting the fall of a user. In one embodiment,
the invention can be a fall arrest trolley comprising: a body, a brake sub-system,
and a plurality of wheels rotatably coupled to the body, wherein bottoms of the plurality
of wheels collectively define a rolling plane; the brake sub-system comprising a brake
rod, a brake pad connected to the brake rod, a lanyard connector connected to the
brake rod, and a resilient element; the brake rod slidably coupled to the body so
that the brake sub-system is alterable between: (1) a free state in which the brake
pad is spaced a distance above the rolling plane; and (2) an arrest state in which
at least a portion of the brake pad is located within the rolling plane; the resilient
element biasing the brake sub-system into the free state.
