Prioritizing Safety in the Access Industry

At Haulotte, safety is our top priority. Enhancing safety and preventing fatalities on worksites is a critical mission that requires constant vigilance. Falls from heights have consistently been the leading cause of fatalities in aerial work platform (AWP) accidents for many years. Between 2015 and 2023, the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) recorded over 175 deaths**.
 
The FASTN patented system aims to bolster operator safety by ensuring secure lanyard attachment. As the first connected and universal fall prevention system, FASTN offers several key benefits:
  • Maximizes harness use by creating an anchoring reflex
  • Optimizes worksite safety through data utilization
  • Ensures maximal compatibility and easy installation





4 main risky situations detected by the system

Harness not attached

The operator is immediately alerted by an audible and visual alarm if using the machine without being attached to the FASTN system. If their lanyard is not anchored after a few seconds, FASTN also alerts the worksite with a blue flashing light and a louder alarm.

Operator fall or ejection

If the operator is anchored to FASTN and the system detects abnormal tension, it immediately alerts the worksite that the operator may have fallen or been ejected.



Operator unconscious or motionless

If the operator is anchored to FASTN and is inactive for 45 seconds, the system will issue an alert to indicate possible distress. This function is particularly useful for solo workers or a lack of ground staff responsible for monitoring operations.

System bypass

If the operator attempts to force the FASTN system using anything other than the snap hook on their harness, the system will detect inactivity and activate the wake-up function to warn of potential misuse.



Universal compatibility with all MEWPs
The FASTN system is designed for universal compatibility, adaptable to all types of boom lifts, including those from Haulotte and other manufacturers. It is available for Haulotte booms in the RTJ, E, LE and SIGMA Ranges. FASTN can be installed as original equipment on new machines or as a retrofit option via a turnkey kit, available in MyHaulotte spare parts catalog or through Haulotte subsidiaries services teams.

With a rapid installation time of less than 30 minutes, FASTN is ideal for enhancing the safety of an entire fleet. Installation and maintenance manuals are provided, enabling technicians to quickly become familiar with the system. For added convenience and peace of mind, Haulotte technicians can handle the installation process on Haulotte machines.

Supporting your prevention campaigns
The primary goal of FASTN is to ensure operator safety. Similar to seat belts in cars, FASTN helps operators develop an anchoring reflex, significantly reducing the risk of falls—the leading cause of accidents when using a boom lift. FASTN also logs all events during AWP usage, facilitating the evaluation of safety practices on worksites. This data collection enables companies to implement targeted prevention campaigns and conduct thorough risk analyses.
