Abstract

A mobile mount for attachment of a fall arrest system. The mobile mount includes a mobile base, a support, at least one base, at least one arm and at least one anchor. The mobile base has a first side and a second side. The support extends upward from proximate the first side of the mobile base. The support also has a first end coupled to the mobile base and a second end. The at least one brace is coupled between the support and the mobile base to maintain the support in an upward position in relation to the mobile base. The at least one brace is slideably coupled to the mobile base. The at least one arm assembly is coupled to the second end of the support and extends from the support so as to be cantilevered over the mobile base. The at least one anchor is configured to be attached to the fall arrest system. Moreover, the at least one anchor is coupled to the at least one arm assembly.

Claims22

Dependent claims

A mobile mount for attachment of a fall arrest system, comprising:

a base carried on ground wheels for movement over a ground surface to an elevated structure on which one or more persons is intended to work, the elevated structure being separate from the base;
a support upstanding from the base having an upstanding support portion extending from the base to an elevated position above the base and an arm assembly extending from the upstanding support portion to a position cantilevered over the base, the upstanding support portion being vertically adjustable in height proximate the base;
at least one receptacle mounted on the arm assembly of the support at a position located over the base for attachment to a personal fall arrest system including a harness and a self-retracting lifeline for said one or more persons;
the receptacle, the base, and the support being designed and arranged to receive a loading of 1800 to 3000 pounds from the personal fall arrest system in the event of a fall of the person from the elevated structure;
and
wherein the upstanding support portion includes a first ladder and a second ladder, the first ladder and the second ladder each having side rails and transverse rungs for the person to ascend to the elevated structure from the ground, and wherein the arm assembly of the upstanding support includes a post attached to an upper end of each side rail with a transverse beam extending between the first and second ladders and carrying the at least one receptacle, and wherein the upstanding support portion is vertically adjustable to position the at least one receptacle proximate above the elevated structure on which the one or more persons is intended to work.
