About latchways
Latchways was founded in 1974 and is acknowledged as the first company to successfully develop and market engineered cable-based fall arrest systems.
Over the years the company has continuously researched new ways of improving worker safety at height while aligning its product range to the evolving needs of the marketplace and the legislation governing it.
Over the years the company has continuously researched new ways of improving worker safety at height while aligning its product range to the evolving needs of the marketplace and the legislation governing it.
In 1982 Latchways was granted a patent for a cable attachment device used in yachting. This was developed into the Latchways Transfastener, which has become a central component in the majority of the company’s installed systems. The Transfastener’s unique design ensures worker safety in the event of a fall from height while allowing the worker hands-free access to go about his or her duties.
Latchways brought another safety at height innovation to the market in 2001 when it introduced the revolutionary Constant Force post. This greatly simplifies the installation of roof mounted systems and is applicable to virtually all types of contemporary roofing. The unique Constant Force technology has been incorporated into Latchways’ ManSafe horizontal, vertical, inclined, overhead and temporary systems.
HCL, the experts in personal protective equipment for use with fall arrest systems and a leading provider of building safety services, became a part of the Latchways group in 2001.
In recent years Latchways has developed from its traditional centre of expertise in cable-based fall arrest systems and expanded its product and service offering to encompass the complete range of fall protection solutions.
In 2004, Latchways acquired the rights to the Wingrip fall protection system, which has strong potential beyond the product’s core aerospace applications. In 2007, the WalkSafe walkway system was added to the product offering, providing a designated walkway to accompany the rooftop fall protection systems.
To complement such carefully structured development, the company has consistently grown its skills and knowledge resources. On the basis of this, a free design and specification service has been launched to support clients, architects, contractors and installers.
Latchways also monitors legislative developments around the world and maintains close contact with user groups and professional bodies to ensure a quick response with applicable products and services to emerging needs in the marketplace. Importantly, the company’s product leadership is today supported by a global network of highly trained specialist installers and contractor companies.
In the 30 years since its formation, Latchways has grown to a position of eminence in fall protection solutions. Today the company’s systems set the standards for quality, efficiency and value the world over.
