The Bolt-On Base Plate is intended to provide a bolt-on mounting point for the Pelsue Uni-Lite Fall Arrest Post and the Expandable Fall Arrest Post. This base plate does not require any welding for mounting and is designed to bolt to surfaces with existing studs or threaded bosses placed in an 8-1/2” square pattern. The Bolt-On Base Plate can, however, also be installed onto any suitable flat surface by adding mounting points or fastening via standard hardware.

Product is designed and tested to be used as a mounting point for all Pelsue Fall Arrest Posts:

• When installed properly the Bolt-On Base Plate will support all of the proof loads required by any Pelsue Fall Arrest Posts. Therefore, the system rating is dependent upon the capabilities of the post pinned into the plate and not upon the base plate itself.

• Pelsue cannot verify compatibility and compliance when utilized with any other brand or make of fall arrest structure.

• Mounting of the Bolt-On Base Plate should always be undertaken according to the requirements provided below.

Mounting & Installation Requirements:

WARNING! - FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS WILL VOID ANY WRITTEN OR IMPLIED RATING AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH

• The base plate must be welded to the supporting structure by a qualified & certified welder following prescribed AWS procedure & protocol.

• The base plate must be welded with 5/16” (8 MM) continuous fillet weld all around the four sides of the base plate.

• It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the supporting structure to which the base plate is attached is capable of withstanding and supporting the base plate’s reported proof loads. Failure to do so will void any system rating.

• In order to comply with all standards and stated ratings, the Bolt-On Base Plate must be installed by a certified welder following the requirements given within Pelsue Document #500588-001; “Guidelines for Installation of Pelsue Brand Weld-On Fall Arrest Post Base Plates.” Failure to follow guidelines will negate all claims of compliance and/or certification
