McNetiq Fall Arrest FA10

Fall Protection

Many contractors face the same challenge: working at height requires reliable fall protection, but in many situations, suitable and certified anchor points are lacking. Traditional methods such as drilling, welding, or clamping are not always feasible. At the request of many clients, McNetiq has therefore developed a revolutionary solution: a magnetic fall protection system that is safe, flexible, and EN 795 Class B certified.


With its patented Controlock® technology, McNetiq offers an innovative way to work safely on steel structures—without causing damage or making permanent modifications.

Fall Protection Made Simple and Secure

Working at height requires reliable fall protection — it's not just essential, it's legally mandatory. Yet every year, accidents happen due to missing anchor points or the incorrect use of safety systems. While regulations demand that employers take proper safety measures, finding practical solutions on-site can be a real challenge.

McNetiq’s magnetic anchors provide a smart, safe alternative:

- No drilling or welding – Preserve the integrity of your work surface.
- On-the-spot safety check – Controlock® technology allows instant verification of magnetic holding force.
- Flexible and reusable – Easily reposition anchors across multiple projects.
- Strong and secure hold – Reliable performance, even under tough conditions like vibration.

How Does Controlock® Technology Work?

McNetiq’s patented Controlock® system allows users to measure the actual holding force of the magnet on-site — a critical safety feature. Factors like steel thickness, rust, paint, and surface irregularities can all affect magnetic strength. With traditional magnetic anchors, it’s impossible to know exactly how much force the magnet delivers in advance.

McNetiq solves this with a built-in testing function that measures:

- Shear force – The force required to slide the magnet sideways, tested directly at the fall protection point.
- Pull force – The force needed to detach the magnet from the surface.

With these measurements, users can be confident that the fall protection system is safe and reliable. Combined with a lanyard, stopper, and harness, the FA10 forms a complete fall protection solution. The entire setup — from installation to testing — takes around 15 minutes. Every user receives comprehensive training to ensure proper use.
