The KARAM PN4000(08) Carriage Body is a critical movement component of the PN4000 horizontal lifeline system, designed to allow safe and smooth travel of a user along a fixed lifeline cable installed at height.
Its primary function is to act as a mobile connector between the user’s harness and the lifeline system, enabling the worker to move freely along the cable while remaining continuously anchored. The carriage is engineered to glide smoothly over the stainless steel wire rope with minimal friction, ensuring uninterrupted movement across long spans.
Manufactured from SS 316 stainless steel, the carriage body offers excellent resistance to corrosion, making it highly suitable for outdoor and harsh industrial environments such as factories, warehouses, power plants, refineries, and rooftop structures.
A key safety feature is its ability to pass through intermediate brackets, corner bends, and system components without disconnection, ensuring 100% tie-off protection throughout the entire movement path. This significantly improves worker safety during maintenance, inspection, and installation tasks at height.
The PN4000(08) is a core element of KARAM’s engineered fall protection system and works in combination with lifelines, tensioners, intermediates, corner bends, and end anchors to create a fully integrated horizontal safety system compliant with international standards.
