Gorbel Tether Track and Rigid Rail Fall Protection

In industries where working at heights is a daily or frequent occurrence, a permanent fall arrest system is essential to safeguard workers from the risks associated with falls. Engineered Fall Protection offers the perfect solution: Gorbel Tether Track Rigid Lifelines. These rigid rail fall protection systems offer more safety and allow for greater mobility compared to conventional methods.

Gorbel Tether Track Rigid Lifelines

Gorbel Tether Track Systems are a leader in rigid systems and are commonly seen being used in industries across the sector. They offer a variety of overhead track designs and configurations for different industrial applications. Browse our selection below to learn more about each system.

Ceiling Mounted Rigid Lifelines

Permanent solution for frequently used work areas. Offers a secure overhead lifeline system ideal for assembly lines, maintenance bays, and other linear work zones.

Free Standing Cantilevered System

Provides fall protection in open areas without overhead support structures. Perfect for machinery repair, tank tops, and areas with limited wall space.

Overhead Fall Arrest Bridge System

Ideal for bridging walkways or obstacles, creating a safe travel path at heights. Well-suited for loading docks, mezzanines, and conveyor systems.

Wall Mounted Fold Away Fall Protection

Space-saving solution that folds against the wall when not in use, maximizing floor space. Ideal for workstations, inspection areas, and low-headroom applications.

Swing Arm Fall Arrest System

Swing arm systems offer a versatile solution for circular or semi-circular work areas with a pivoting arm. Perfect for tank maintenance, vessel inspection, and machinery around columns.

Single Pole Fall Prevention System

A convenient alternative to multiple column systems, ideal for work areas with numerous obstacles. Provides reliable fall protection with a single, vertical pole and a short horizontal track.

What are Rigid Rail Fall Protection Systems?

Rigid rail systems are enclosed track systems that work in conjunction with personal fall arrest systems to provide a secure and reliable overhead lifeline for workers. Rigid systems typically include three primary components:

Track: The track is a rigid rail that can be securely mounted to the building structure. It serves as the lifeline for workers and provides a continuous path for movement.
Trolley: The trolley is a movable carriage that slides along the track. It is equipped with a safety device that automatically locks in place if a fall occurs.
Lanyard: The lanyard is a personal fall protection equipment (PPE) that connects the worker to the trolley. It is designed to absorb the force of a fall and prevent the worker from reaching the ground.

Benefits of Rigid Rail Systems

Reduced Fall Distance: Minimize the risk of secondary fall injuries with a short arrest distance.
Greater Ease of Movement: Allow workers to move freely throughout the work area without disconnecting.
Multiple Worker Capacity: Standard systems can accommodate multiple workers simultaneously.
Low-Headroom Compatibility: Suitable for use in environments with limited overhead space.
Minimal Maintenance: Enclosed track design prevents dirt and dust from settling on the rolling surface, requiring less maintenance compared to other surfaces such as I-beams

How Rigid Lifelines Differ From Horizontal Lifelines

Rigid lifeline systems differ from traditional horizontal lifeline systems, such as wire rope systems, in several key ways.

Rigid Construction: Rigid rail systems are constructed from rigid materials, providing a more secure and stable lifeline than cable-based lifeline systems.
Enhanced Mobility: The trolley fall arrest system allows workers to move freely along the track, improving efficiency and productivity.
Multiple Worker Capacity: Rigid rail systems can accommodate multiple workers simultaneously, making it ideal for team-based tasks.
Low-Headroom Compatibility: The system can be installed in areas with limited headroom, providing overhead fall protection in challenging environments.
Customization: Rigid rail systems can be customized to meet the specific needs of your floor plan or application, ensuring optimal safety and performance.
