TSS Vertifan Protection Screen –
TSS Vertifan T1F1 & T1F2 (Type 1 with 1 or 2 vertical floor covering) could be described as an evolution of the TSS traditional Safety Net Fan combined with a Protection Screen. The safety net fan requirement has grown and is now recognized by many major contractors and authorities as a must have safety solution. The Vertifan demonstrates a major step forward for our clients, with this particular product development.
Designed as a one piece self climbing unit, the Vertifan comes complete with double layer vertical safety netting as well as Extra wide Safety Net Fan, fully compliant with European Standard EN-1263-2 Type T, using 60 x 60 and 20 x 20 double layered nets. The safety netting provides for the full vertical protection screen at the building perimeter as well as horizontal fall protection with the safety net fan.
Features:
- Lightweight efficient engineering. Full Aluminium units.
- Full Vertical floor to floor protection screen, double layer safety netting + handrail barriers.
- Integral Triple layer Extra wide Safety Net Fan to catch any falling materials.
- Self Climbing system, therefore crane independent.
- Full catchment with Extra wide Fan unit to prevent falls of debris or materials.
- Permanent edge access and working platform.
- Full vertical protection for follow on trades, e.g perimeter block-work.



TSS Vertifan Protection Screen – T2F1 & T2F2
TSS Vertifan T2F1 & T2F2 (Type 2 with Platforms, with 1 or 2 floor covering) is a full enclosure perimeter edge protection system which provides full height floor to floor edge protection screen, in conjunction with a working platform at the top and the fully integrated Extra wide safety net fan.
The working platform at the top provides a mechanism to replace the high risk activity of formwork erection and dismantle around the perimeter of the building.
By design and the ability to self climb, the Vertifan can be moved vertically after 1 day of concrete casting, with the main anchors cast into the slab, which provides immediate safe access to the perimeter of the building.
The design removes the need for a working perimeter platform as part of the formwork system which traditionally has to be erected and dismantled at each floor casting phase.
The Integrated Extra wide Safety Net Fan provides immediate catchment against any falling objects, creating a 100% safe working and logistics area below.
The vertical nets provide full enclosure of floor protection for formwork striking and movement, whilst allowing for safe Installation of the handrail barriers before the system moves to the next floor.
Features:
- Lightweight efficient engineering.
- Integral Extra wide Safety Net Fan attachment to catch any falling materials.
- Full Vertical floor to floor height protection, double layer safety netting + barriers.
- Movement of Vertifan in tandem with slab formwork.
- Full vertical protection screen for follow on trades, e.g perimeter block-work.
- Self Climbing, therefore crane independent.
- Permanent edge access and working platform.



Needle Slab Attachment
The Needle Slab Attachments are the main supporting mechanism for the TSS Vertifan units, in terms of connection and vertical movement along the building facade.
Integrated with the aluminium spine beam channels, the needles allow for, fixed positioning, vertical and horizontal adjustment and controlled movement of Vertifan from floor to floor.
Features:
- Robust mechanical connection to slabs.
- Safety click hook to allow the Vertifan to travel vertically whilst ensuring the units cannot drop down.
- Guided rollers for controlled movement.
- Swing arms which aid ease of installation of the Vertifan into the needles during erection.
- Attachment points for the electric lifting cobra frame.
- Facility for cast-in anchor or post-fixed anchor, during installation.



Cobra Hoist Lifting System
The Cobra Hoist lifting system is the innovative mechanism for lifting the Vertifan units vertically from one floor to the next.
The main purpose of the lifting system is to provide a safety edge enclosure system which can be 100% crane independent during re-positioning.
The Cobra Hoist has been designed to fit onto the slab needle attachment at the upper levels, ensuring a robust connection of the units to the floor slab.
The system comes complete with a pair of electric motors which are controlled together by a pair of hand held remotes.
