Rail Fall Arrest Systems Available



Gorbel offers its Tether Track Fold Away and Swing Arm Rigid Rail Fall Arrest Systems.

"Tether Track systems are designed to be a reliable, cost-effective way to reduce the risk of injury in elevated work environments," said a company spokesperson. "Compared to wire rope systems, Gorbel's Tether Track systems deliver: shorter free fall distances; reduced risk of secondary fall injures, such as swinging into obstacles; longer distances between support centers; and no negative impact on a second worker in the event of a fall. Tether Track systems also stop falls sooner than a wire rope system by eliminating sag, and the systems provide effective protection in low headroom applications by reducing the fall distance."

Gorbel Tether Track Fall Arrest Systems can accommodate multiple workers and are available in various configurations, including multiple track profiles and support center distances. The foundation of the Tether Track systems is the enclosed track that is engineered for easy movement. The enclosed track keeps dirt and dust from settling on the rolling surface, allowing the trolley to move smoothly and remain centered directly over the worker.

Fold Away Systems are designed to deploy as needed and then fold away when done. The can be used for work cells requiring access to overhead cranes, when floor space is limited or when infrequent fall protection is necessary. Available in wall mounted or free standing designs, it features unlimited lengths with up to 50' between supports. It can accommodate single or multiple workers.

Gorbel Rigid Rail Systems are designed to exceed the OSHA 1926 Subpart M Construction standard, as well as ANSI Z359 Fall Protection Code.
