Rigid Rail Fall Protection Systems for Reduced Fall Clearance
A rigid rail fall protection system provides reliable protection for workers at height while minimizing the deflection that occurs during a fall. Unlike flexible horizontal lifelines, rigid rail systems eliminate cable sag, making them well suited for applications where available fall clearance is limited and every inch counts.
Rigid rail fall protection uses a fixed track with a traveling connection point that moves with the worker throughout the protected area. By reducing deflection, the system can shorten the distance required to arrest a fall while giving workers the freedom to move along the rail and access the areas needed to perform their work.
Rigid lifelines can be designed for indoor or outdoor applications and configured around equipment, work areas, and facility conditions. Depending on the application, a rigid rail system may be supported from an existing structure or incorporated into a dedicated support structure. This versatility makes rigid fall protection a practical option for facilities where workers routinely perform maintenance, inspection, loading, or other tasks at height.
Our team designs, engineers, and installs rigid rail fall arrest systems based on the fall hazards, available clearance, structural conditions, and worker access requirements of each facility. Each system is designed around the application to provide dependable fall protection without unnecessarily restricting worker movement.
