Fall prevention wire
When installing equipment in high places, it is recommended to install fall prevention wires as a safety measure to prevent accidents and damage in the event of a fall.
We also provide tools and wires for installing fall prevention wires.
Wire Cutting Tools
Wire cutter
To cut the wire to be used, use a wire cutter, which is a dedicated tool, to align the cut ends of the wire and make it easier to pass the wire through the crimp sleeve. Please use wire cutters when cutting wire.

Fall prevention wire fabrication procedure
Kevlar fiber wire (for indoor installation)
1.Cut the wire to an appropriate length.
Cut a little extra length to make a loop on both sides of the wire.
Kevlar fiber wire is soft and difficult to thread through the sleeve, so prepare a thread to make it easier to thread the wire.
Pass the cut yarn through the sleeve.
Thread the thread through the sleeve and loop it around the wire.
5.Pass the thread through the wire back into the sleeve.
The thread is threaded through the sleeve
Pull the thread to thread the wire through the sleeve.
Pull the thread until an appropriately sized loop is formed. Be careful not to pull the wire out.
- Crimp the sleeve using a crimping tool.
Crimp the sleeve at two slightly different positions.
The wire has been crimped and secured with a sleeve.
Stainless steel wire (suitable for outdoor installation)
1.Cut the wire to an appropriate length.
Cut a little extra length to make a loop on both sides of the wire.
Thread the cut wire through the sleeve.
After pulling the wire through the sleeve to some extent, fold it back and pass the wire through the sleeve.
Wire folded over and through the sleeve.
4.Crimp the sleeve using a crimping tool.
Crimp the sleeve at two slightly different positions.
The wire has been crimped and secured with a sleeve.
5.Cover the sleeve portion with heat-shrinkable tubing.
6.The sleeve portion shrinks when the heat-shrink tubing is seared with a lighter.
