H-RAIL + TOWER | TOWER A2 | TOWER XL

H-RAIL with TOWER, TOWER A2 or TOWER XL is a horizontal rail system used for fall protection on roofs. The raised supports make it possible to position the rigid rail above obstacles on the roof. At the same time, the system provides good freedom of movement when working with restraint.

H-RAIL is used together with a four-wheeled runner that moves along the rigid rail. The TOWER supports elevate the rail from the roof surface, and the rail is easily mounted onto the brackets using a special plate. The system can be installed on timber, concrete and steel structures. With up to 6 metres between supports, relatively few attachment points are required. Furthermore, the rigid construction avoids the deflection that can occur in flexible wire rope systems, which simplifies the management of the vertical safety margin.

Areas of use

H-RAIL + TOWER, TOWER A2 and TOWER XL are used for permanent fall protection on roofs where the rail needs to be elevated to pass over or be positioned above obstructions. The system is intended for work at height with restraint and can be used on timber, concrete and steel structures.

FAQ

What is the advantage of the TOWER supports for the H-RAIL?

TOWER, TOWER A2 and TOWER XL raise the H-RAIL track from the roof surface so that the system can be installed above obstacles on the roof.

What is the maximum distance between supports?

H-RAIL can be installed with up to 6 metres between support points, which reduces the number of fixings required.

Why choose a rigid rail instead of a flexible wire lifeline?

The rigid H-RAIL track does not experience the same deflection as a flexible system. This means that such deflection does not need to be taken into account when calculating the vertical safety margin.
