Fall Arrest Posts

Elevated anchor points for workers on platforms, rooftops, structures, and elevated work surfaces. Two posts, two use cases — one for multi-person tie-off with rescue capability, one for versatile single-person protection at height.

Uni-Lite Fall Arrest Post

Model FT-C70

The only fall arrest post in the Pelsue line built for multi-person tie-off — up to three workers, each at their own dedicated ring on the 360° swivel tri-ring anchor. Carbon fiber and aluminum construction keeps total weight at 39 lbs, far lighter than comparable steel or aluminum towers. The post acts like a fishing pole under load — its patented flex-on-arrest design absorbs the force of a fall rather than transferring it rigidly, reducing peak arrest force on the worker. Tilts up to 23° in Rescue Mode for raising or lowering an incapacitated worker clear of the platform edge. Base plate required, sold separately.

Capacity: 3 × 310 lbs
Anchor Height 70″ (5′10″)
Weight: 39 lbs total
Material: Carbon Fiber
Rescue Mode: 23° tilt

Expandable Fall Arrest Post

Model TFAT-11A

When the mounting location demands a higher anchor point than a fixed-height post can reach, the Expandable Post telescopes from 7 to 11 feet using a simple pin attachment — no tools, no additional accessories required. Structural aluminum construction, single-person rated at 310 lb. The post is a standalone system: height adjustment is built in. Base plate required, sold separately. Compatible with the same FB Series and BC-16S base plates as the Uni-Lite.

Capacity: 1 × 310 lbs
Height Range: 70″ (5′10″)
Weight: 75 lbs
Material: Aluminum
Adjustment: Pin-Lock

Base plate required at all times

Pelsue cannot verify equipment safety or compliance when either post is used with anything other than a Pelsue-approved base system. All base plates support both the Uni-Lite (FT-C70) and the Expandable Post (TFAT-11A) unless noted otherwise.

Self-Retracting Lifelines

Each worker using the Uni-Lite must connect to a dedicated ring via a 900 lb MAF-rated fall arrest device. Use of a non-rated connector voids compliance.
