RIGID

Rigid rail fall protection systems are ideal for indoor and outdoor applications with minimal fall clearance. Unlike a horizontal lifeline, rigid rail systems have limited deflection, which limits free-fall. During a fall arrest scenario with a horizontal lifeline, cable sag causes and the traveler to slide to the center-point of the nearest supports. This motion can cause a worker to hit walls and nearby structure during or after a fall. In addition to reduced deflection rates, rigid track or beam style fall protection systems are better suited than HLL’s for accommodating multiple users.
