Fall protection system

A fall protection system comprising:

• a base assembly;
• a mast assembly rotatable about a first axis defined by the mast assembly;
• and
• a locking assembly adapted to lock the mast assembly with the base assembly, wherein the locking assembly includes:
• a first plate fixedly coupled to the base assembly, wherein the first plate defines a plurality of through-holes and a plurality of slots, such that each through-hole of the plurality of through-holes is in communication with a corresponding slot;
• a second plate fixedly coupled to the mast assembly;
• a fixed member fixedly coupled to the second plate, the fixed member defining a first groove and a second groove;
• and
• a locking pin including an elongate portion at least partially received within the fixed member, a first tab extending from the elongate portion, and at least one second tab spaced apart from the first tab, the locking pin being movable relative to the fixed member between an engaged position and a disengaged position,
• wherein, in the engaged position, the first tab is at least partially received within the first groove, the elongate portion of the locking pin is received through a corresponding through-hole of the plurality of through-holes such that the locking pin is engaged with the first plate, and the at least one second tab is misaligned with the slot in communication with the corresponding through-hole that receives the elongate portion of the locking pin therethrough, and
• wherein, in the disengaged position, the first tab is at least partially received within the second groove such that the locking pin is spaced apart from the first plate.

A method of locking a mast assembly with a base assembly of a fall protection system, the method comprising:

• moving a locking pin from a disengaged position such that the locking pin is movable relative to a fixed member that is fixedly coupled to a second plate, wherein the second plate is fixedly coupled to the mast assembly;
• receiving the locking pin through a through-hole defined in a first plate, wherein the first plate is fixedly coupled to the base assembly;
• and
• rotating the locking pin to an engaged position to at least partially receive a first tab of the locking pin within a first groove defined in the fixed member.
