Buckingham has been approached by several utilities and contractors to address fall protection for those working on a roof or off a ladder at a customer’s home. The Buckingham Rooftop Fall Protection Kit provides a temporary vertical lifeline for accessing elevated work areas from a portable ladder.

• This Patented system was developed hand-in-hand with Duke Energy and allows the user to set a lifeline and re-direct lines from the ground which keep the user 100% fall protected while ascending a ladder, working on a ladder, and descending a ladder.
  • Helpful Hint: To help promote the ease of tracking of the BuckArrester™ when coming down a ladder, simply place your thumb behind the rope and above the BuckArrester™ and slightly push outward toward your chest.
  • When a bucket truck is available, this system can also be anchored to a bucket or boom depending on your work practices.

• Today, the Buckingham Rooftop Fall Protection Kit is the only solution of its kind on the market.

The Buck RFP™ Includes:

• Universal x-style harness with sternal D-ring for connection to BuckArresterTM mobile fall arrester & work positioning d-rings.
• BuckArresterTM (mobile fall arrester), designed to arrest a fall off a ladder.
• BuckLaunchTM device designed to shoot throwline over structure in a safe/controlled manner.
• An 8’ anchor sling rated to 5,000lbs, for use with a suitable anchor.
• 150’ 7/16” diameter lifeline.
• 3,600lb gate-rated triple action carabiner.
• 12oz. throw bag to be attached to throwline and launched over structure.
• 150’ of throw line to be used with a throw bag and launched over structure.
• Basic RFP system storage bag.
• Throwline storage bag.

The Buck RFP™ (Deluxe) version also includes the redirect kit

Ideal when a suitable anchor isn’t readily available or maybe a roof that exposes you to a swing fall. We developed a Re-Direct and Load-Sharing application that builds on the Basic Kit above and gives you a variety of options to deal with quirkier situations. Includes:

• Two 8’ anchor slings rated to 5,000 lbs. for use with a suitable anchor.
• Two 50’ 7/16” diameter lifeline.
• Two anchor prusiks.
• Three lifeline prusiks.
• Load sharing/re-direct RFP system storage bag.
• Two 3,600 lbs. gate-rated triple-action carabiners.
• Total kit weight: 22 lbs.
