Mansafe Testing System
Specialist testing and certification of horizontal and vertical lifeline systems. We ensure your fall arrest and restraint equipment remains safe, certified, and ready for use.
Why Choose Cradlecraft for Mansafe Testing?
Managing height safety systems requires more than a simple visual check; it demands rigorous physical verification to ensure the equipment will perform during a fall event. At Cradlecraft, our engineers specialise in the comprehensive testing and certification of horizontal and vertical lifelines, focusing on the structural integrity of every anchorage point and fixing.
We understand that these systems are the final line of defence for operatives, which is why we provide a clear, digital audit trail of all inspections to satisfy your statutory legal obligations. By choosing us, you ensure your building is compliant with the latest British Standards while providing a secure environment for all maintenance personnel.


Testing & Certification
We perform rigorous load testing and certification of horizontal and vertical lifeline systems (Mansafe) to verify that they are fit for purpose. These tests ensure that the system can safely arrest or restrain a fall as designed.

Anchor & Fixing Integrity
Our engineers carry out detailed inspections of all anchors, fixings, and structural supports. We check for signs of fatigue, corrosion, or loosening that could compromise the system’s ability to withstand required forces.

System Tensioning & Adjustment
As part of our inspection, we verify cable tensions and system alignment. Proper tensioning is critical for the effective operation of a Mansafe system and prevents unnecessary wear on the components.

Compliance Documentation
Following every test, we provide comprehensive documentation, including digital certification and detailed reports. This ensures you have a complete record for health and safety audits and insurance purposes.
