3M 7100268945 Cable Climb Assist Counterweight 80 Lb

Product Description

The 3M 7100268945 is a galvanized steel external counterweight for the DBI-SALA SSB Cable Climb Assist System, designed to aid workers ascending lengthy ladders and towers while providing integrated fall protection. Weighing 80 pounds, the counterweight offsets the effort required for long vertical climbs and includes a runaway brake mechanism for added safety during ascent and descent. The aluminum housing and steel drum construction provide corrosion resistance and durability suited to demanding field conditions. Licensed fall protection specialists and qualified climbers install and service this equipment.

This counterweight is engineered for use on land-based and offshore drilling platforms where environmental and work conditions make ladder climbing hazardous. It is a core component of the SSB Cable Climb Assist System, which has no defined length limit, allowing it to scale with the height requirements of towers, derricks, and extended vertical access structures. It is appropriate for applications where extended ladder climbs create fatigue risk and where fall protection compliance is required.

Key Features

• External counterweight design reduces physical exertion during long vertical climbs
• Integrated runaway brake provides emergency arresting capability
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in offshore and outdoor environments
• Rugged aluminum housing with steel drum for extended field longevity
• No system length limit allows deployment on towers and structures of any height
• Compatible with the DBI-SALA SSB Cable Climb Assist System

Compatibility

Designed for use with the DBI-SALA SSB Cable Climb Assist System as an external counterweight component. No additional specific model or part number compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation and inspection must be performed by qualified personnel trained in fall protection systems and compliant with applicable OSHA and ANSI Z359 standards. The climb assist system must be fully de-energized and locked out before any service or counterweight adjustment is performed. Do not attempt to modify the runaway brake mechanism or counterweight assembly in the field. Offshore and elevated installations should account for environmental loading per site-specific engineering requirements.
