The installer's belt is an extremely popular equipment among craftsmen, who often have to perform work at an impressive height due to their duty. Such equipment allows you to always have at hand the maximum number of necessary tools, which helps to save time and the successful implementation of tasks.
Almost every installer’s tool belt contains additional fasteners that are suitable for fixing bags, structural elements, metal fasteners, and hanging hand tools.
What are the requirements for mounting belts?
First of all, the safety tool should be characterized by extremely durable tailoring. Most modern models are produced by machine, which allows the seams to withstand incredible tensile loads.
As fasteners, which serve to fix the product on the elements of structures, steel slings with reliable insulation are used. The latter reduces the likelihood of electric shock when in contact with bare wires.
Having put on the belt of the installer, the specialist gets complete freedom of action, being in limbo. During operation, the master does not feel discomfort. Even with extremely limited free space, the installer's safety belt does not constrain movement.
Fields of application
Specialized safety belts are actively used in a wide range of construction, installation and repair work. Such equipment is irreplaceable for employees of housing and communal services organizations, telecommunication tuning specialists, window washers, power engineers.
Selection tips
No doubt, high-altitude work is extremely dangerous, as evidenced by the disappointing statistics of industrial accidents. Therefore, the installer's belt, capable of withstanding various loads, acts here as a primary means of protection.
It is recommended to purchase only equipment whose qualities comply with state standards. Savings in this case are measured by human life.
To choose a reliable installer belt, you should pay attention to the following points:
