A telescopic edge protection post
The invention relates to a telescopic edge protection post (1) arrangeable between a floor and a ceiling, the telescopic edge protection post comprising an outer tube (2) comprising a bottom end (3) and a top end (6), an inner tube (4) comprising a bottom end (5) and a top end (8), the inner tube extending into the outer tube and being movable with respect thereto between an extended position and a collapsed position. The edge protection post further comprises a locking mechanism (10) arranged to lock the inner tube with respect to the outer tube in the extended position, and a tensioning unit (20) arranged at the top end of the inner tube, the tensioning unit comprising a tensioning element having a primary tensioning portion and a secondary tensioning portion, wherein tensioning of the secondary tensioning portion requires a lower force than tensioning of the primary tensioning portion, allowing tensioning of the secondary tensioning portion by means of extending the telescopic edge protection post by hand into engagement with the floor and the ceiling. Further, the primary and secondary tensioning portions each comprises a compression spring. There is thus provided an edge protection post which is both easy and safe to mount.
