  • This rigid system gives a reel feeling of safety

General description

The ladder rail is an integrated ladder and safety linepermanently attached to the structure, centrally.The trolley runs in the rail during ascending and descending and block only in case of fall.

Use

  • One trolley may operate on each individual.
  • 3m and 2,2m length of rail at any one time, 1 fixation per meter. Shock absorbance Railstop is designed to ensure a maximum force exerted on the body in the event of a fall does not exceed 5kN, even better than European standards requirements.

Legislation and standards

Railstop system conforms to EN 353-1 and is markedCE. It must be installed according manufacturer instructions.

Installation

  • For normal system operation, laddersshould be positioned at max 15¡ from the vertical.
  • The system may be attached to the structure with L fixations.
  • Special shape for curved or inclined areas.

Load requirements

Ensure the climbing structure to which Railstopis to be installed is capable of supporting the loads imposed by the system. See Operation and maintenance manual.

Parts available

  • Foldable platform: to place regularly according vertical access regulations
  • Mid entries for intermediate access.
  • Curved rail to fit all configurations.

Additional components

The Railstop system is recommended for use with Harness KB1300S (N300/S) with front body attachment or KB1EXO/x for unrivalled comfort and security.

Servicing/maintenance

  • Full check and servicing by manufacturer of the system (including trolley) required:
  • Annually.
  • After any fall.
