When working at height, safety isn’t just a box to tick—it’s a fundamental part of protecting lives, maintaining operations and staying compliant with strict health and safety regulations. At Safety Pack, we’ve built our reputation on creating innovative, high-quality fall protection equipment designed to perform under pressure. Our flagship product, the Fall-Pac Unit, leads the way in portable fall protection solutions.
If you operate in industries where employees are frequently exposed to the risk of falling—from trailers, lorries, aircraft or restricted platforms—you need a reliable solution that’s easy to deploy, effective immediately and fully compliant with the most stringent safety standards. That’s where the Fall-Pac Unit stands out.
What Is the Fall-Pac Unit?
The Fall-Pac Unit is a lightweight, highly effective fall arrest system that’s purpose-built for environments where traditional fall protection options might not be feasible. It’s designed with practical use in mind—quick to install, robust in performance and suitable for a wide range of sectors.
Each unit is 2.5 metres long and 0.644 metres in diameter, covering an area of 1.61 square metres. The weight ranges from just 6 to 10 kilograms, making it incredibly manageable for a single person or small team to position and install in a matter of minutes. The Fall-Pac Unit is filled with polystyrene and tested rigorously to meet British Standards PAS 59:2014 and HSE regulations. It is also fire retardant, having passed tests to BS5852 0+1. For environments requiring extra protection, we also offer an advanced fire-retardant version.
Why Portable Fall Protection Matters
Traditional fall protection systems—such as fixed barriers or harness-based solutions—aren’t always suitable. In many industries, especially where space is limited or the working area is frequently reconfigured, a static solution is restrictive, time-consuming to install and not always safe.
Our Fall-Pac Unit addresses this problem directly. Its compact design makes it ideal for space-restricted environments where manoeuvrability is essential. Whether it’s a tight trailer, a raised platform in a hangar or a lorry bed being loaded, Fall-Pac can be placed exactly where you need it. There’s no need for permanent installation, heavy-duty fixtures or complex setup processes.
Industry Applications: Trusted Across Sectors
The beauty of the Fall-Pac Unit lies in its versatility. We’ve supplied our portable fall protection to industries including:
- Lorry fall protection: A key risk area in haulage and logistics, where drivers and loading staff frequently work at height on trailer beds or during vehicle maintenance.
- Haulage fall protection: Quick installation and removal make it ideal for busy distribution centres and loading bays where efficiency is crucial.
- Trailer fall protection: Perfect for use during loading and unloading operations, maintenance or inspections.
- Aerospace fall protection: Inside hangars or on remote sites, the Fall-Pac Unit offers critical safety support during aircraft servicing and inspection.
These environments often present unpredictable conditions, and our equipment has been trusted by leading firms across construction, power, transport and even film production, where safety has to be flexible and dependable.
A Smarter Way to Work at Height
The Fall-Pac Unit is designed not just to protect, but to simplify your safety protocols. With a drop height rating of 3.4 metres above the installation surface, it provides peace of mind in high-risk zones. It’s also UV resistant and recyclable, making it a sustainable choice for companies looking to reduce their environmental impact.
Because we know every site is different, we work closely with our clients to assess their specific risks and needs. Our fall arrest bags are available to buy or hire, and we typically deliver within 48 hours of order placement. Our goal is to reduce downtime, meet urgent requirements and provide consistent, quality service.
