Flexible Lifeline Systems

Flexible Lifeline Systems

The most popular and economical railcar fall protection available today. Most commonly used when workers are required to access the entire length of one or more railcars. A cable based horizontal lifeline capable of free spans of up to 200' and unlimited lengths with pass-through capability utilizing an overhead sealed bearing shuttle. Multiple users gain the added benefit of bypass when two or more flexible lifeline systems are used in parallel.

Configurations

• The Single Span Flexible Lifeline System provides economical railcar fall protection over up to three (3) railcars. Using parallel systems, fall protection can be provided for up to three (3) users with full bypass capability resulting in increased productivity.

• The Multi-Span Flexible Lifeline System provides economical railcar fall protection for multiple railcars and multiple users. Featuring a sealed bearing stainless steel patented overhead shuttle, the system is completely hands-free.

Flexible Lifeline Systems - The Flexible Lifeline Railcar Fall Protection Systems provide an unprecedented ease of movement. Using the sealed bearing trolleys, the retractable lifeline remains overhead at all times completely eliminating any potential for an in-line swing-fall. The 8mm stainless steel cable is not susceptible to dust and debris build-up providing a maintenance-free railcar fall protection system.

• Ice and Snow Build-Up (Exterior Systems) - A quick tug on the lifeline "snaps" off any minor ice build-up on the cable. The Flexible Lifeline Railcar Fall Protection Systems is not susceptible to snow or ice build up providing unprecedented ease of movement when you need it most.

We actually recommend that the user "lock" the retractable and use it as additional support while walking.
