Overhead Rigid Rail System Brochure

When clearance is short, a rigid track is the safer anchor

Some work at height happens only a short distance above something hard or expensive: an aircraft wing, the roof of a railcar, a truck deck or delicate production equipment. A flexible lifeline may need more clearance than the job has. This three-page brochure explains why a rigid overhead track is the right choice whenever the distance available to stop a fall is small.

A shorter drop protects the worker and the equipment

Because the track does not sag or stretch, it arrests a fall over a shorter distance, reducing injury and the chance of damaging the equipment being worked on. It also removes the pendulum effect that can pull other workers on a shared system. A lightweight trolley with sealed bearings follows the worker without hands on the line.

What the brochure covers

• Roof-mounted, low-profile rails that keep the floor open for production, storage and material handling
• A range of mounting options that suit high and standard roof heights and work around most roof infrastructure without column supports
• Parallel and perpendicular runs for two-way coverage
• Specification from simple on-site measurements and off-the-shelf modular components, so installation causes minimal interruption

Built for a long service life with low upkeep

With standard use and annual maintenance, the system is designed to last up to 25 years. Steel is powder coated or galvanized to EN ISO 1461 and is suitable for outdoor installation. It resists degradation, needs little maintenance and takes minimal training to use correctly. Tritech designs, supplies and installs the system, which is designed and engineered to meet ANSI standards and tested to international standards.
