What is a Rigid Rail System?

Rigid rail is an overhead fall arrest system, paired with self-retracting lifelines, is a reliable, cost-effective way to reduce the risk of injury in elevated work environments where stable anchor points are challenging. Typical rigid rail solutions are found internally in manufacturing plants where ceilings cannot anchor a lifeline, or in rail yards and airport hangars.

Rigid Rail Fall Protection Solutions

FlexRail

FlexRail Arrow More

FlexRail rigid rail fall arrest solutions have an enclosed track design for superior trolley movement so a retractable lifeline always stays directly above the user. The rigid construction minimizes fall distances with protection at levels as low as four-foot and span capabilities from 6-to-100 feet.
FlexBridge

FlexBridge Arrow More

FlexBridge can be positioned anywhere and provides large areas fall protection coverage. The FlexBridge Fall Protection system is ideal for industrial applications with existing overhead cranes or varying areas where fall protection is needed. The FlexBridge can be designed for spans from 6-to-100 feet. Shorter bridge spans will automatically follow the user’s movement, while longer spans require manual positioning.
Twin FlexRail

Twin FlexRail Arrow More

Twin FlexRail is a patented system consisting of twin enclosed tracks with sealed bearing trolleys for 1:100 movement-to-weight ratio. The trolley beam fall protection system for railcars and trucks is capable of spans of 100-feet between supports and 30-foot cantilevers past the end supports. Due to the extremely low weight-to-movement ratio, the retractable lifeline always remains directly overhead eliminating the possibility of a swing fall.

OSHA Regulations

We want you to be safe - we can prove it.

1910.140(12) Anchorages: Anchors used to attach to personal fall protection equipment must be independent of any anchorage used to suspend employees or platforms on which employees work. Anchorages used to attach to personal fall protection equipment on mobile work platforms on powered industrial trucks must be attached to an overhead member of the platform, at a point located above and near the center of the platform.

1910.140 Personal Fall Arrest Systems: The employer must ensure that each personal fall protection system used must comply with the requirements in this section:

  • Limit the maximum arresting force on the employee to 1,800 pounds; 1910.140(d)(1)(i)
  • Bring the employee to a complete stop and limit the maximum deceleration distance the employee travels to 3.5 feet; 1910.140(d)(1)(ii)
  • Have sufficient strength to withstand twice the potential impact energy of the employee free falling a distance of 6 feet, or the free fall distance permitted by the system; and... 1910.140(d)(1)(iii)
  • Sustain the employee within the system/strap configuration without making contact with the employee's neck and chin area. 1910.140(d)(1)(iv)
