Components of the XSLinked system
XSLinked comprises several key components that ensure secure and efficient operation:
-
- XSSlider / XSSlider pro: The XSSlider moves effortlessly along the lifeline, smoothly passing through bends and corners. It enables seamless horizontal movement along the cable.
- XSPoint: With XSPoint, users can only disconnect their lanyard in designated safe zones, preventing accidental detachment in hazardous areas.
- XSImpact: Supports the XSLinked system and functions as a standalone anchorage point.
- XSMechanical Anchor: Securely fixes the anchorage point to the roof using high-strength mounting.
- XSTerminal (Hold): Connects the lifeline to an XSImpact anchorage point.
- Tensioner system: Maintains correct cable tension for proper system functionality.
- XSIntermediate: Positions the lifeline cable for safe user movement.
- XSEdge 45° / 90°: Allows directional changes along the lifeline while maintaining user safety.
Easy Installation
An XSLinked lifeline system is designed for straightforward installation, minimizing downtime and complexity. The system can be mounted directly onto a wide range of roof surfaces, walls, or ceilings, making it highly adaptable to different working environments. With pre-engineered components and intuitive assembly, installation requires minimal specialized tools and can be completed efficiently by trained professionals.

SINGLE VS MULTI LINE SOLUTIONS
At XSPlatforms, we offer multiple lifeline systems. The XSLinked lifeline system is mainly build for a single trajectory. Multiple users can work on this trajectory, but cannot pass each other. When passing they need to disconnect. For ultimate safety and for jobs where disconnecting is needed in a regular base, we have our LinkedPro lifeline system. For multi-user pass-through functionality, LinkedPro offers a more advanced solution.

When selecting the appropriate horizontal lifeline (HLL) system, such as our XSLinked or LinkedPro solutions, it’s essential to evaluate several key factors based on your work environment and requirements. In this guide we want to show you which factors you need to consider.
Before you start with any project, always evaluate the conditions of a work area. Is this work area indoor or oudoor?Environmental factors such as wind, rain, and temperature extremes can affect system durability and performance. Additionally, assess potential hazards like electrical risks or deviating conditions on a roof or industrial area, which may lead to a custom made solution.
What tasks need to be performed when connected to the horizontal lifeline? For jobs that require a higher mobility, systems with longer spans can be the right choice. Jobs with a wall- or overhead solution may require a much more sturdy solution or rigid rail system for example.
Determine the necessary length and layout of your HLL, whether it’s straight, curved, or spans multiple planes. This decision will affect anchor point placement and system choice.
With ODIN, you can precisely calculate the loads involved in horizontal lifeline systems, as well as the lifeline deflection and minimum clearance required for safe fall arrest. This tool ensures that lifeline systems meet applicable standards without the need for complex manual calculations, reducing injury risk in the event of a fall. Check out more information about ODIN Lifeline calculation Tool here.
Ensure the HLL system can safely accommodate the number of users at any given time. Take into account the combined weight of all users and their equipment to ensure safety. For example, if more users need to be working on the same system, at the same time a LinkedPro system could be a much better solution.
The HLL system must work seamlessly with personal fall arrest systems (PFAS) and other PPE. Ensuring compatibility enhances overall safety and effectiveness. Our PPE systems are tested thoroughly and are used with all type of lifeline systems.
Calculate the required fall clearance, considering lifeline sag, lanyard length, and the length of users. Proper fall clearance is crucial to prevent injuries from falls. When dealing with a low fall clearance it might be ideal to opt for an XSRail system. Inform XSPlatforms or an XSPlatforms partner to make sure what system suits best to your situation.
SELECT THE RIGHT SOLUTION
By carefully considering these factors, you can select the right horizontal lifelines from XSPlatforms to ensure the highest level of safety for workers at height.
