Weld-On Base Plate
Overview
The Weld-On Base Plate is intended to be permanently attached upon structural steel members and used for the removable mounting of the Pelsue Uni-Lite Fall Arrest Post and the Expandable Fall Arrest Post.
Plate is to be welded on to surface adhering to all Pelsue guidelines.
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 FB-SW1 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
