Overhead Rail Safety Systems


Our overhead rail systems feature high-strength, lightweight aluminium rails that can span up to 6 meters between structural supports.


These systems include robust sealed bearing trolleys with lateral stabilising bearings, allowing effortless movement for multiple users simultaneously. Complying with AS/NZS1891.2:2001 and AS/NZS1891.4:2009 standards, our locally manufactured systems ensure top-notch safety and reliability.



Overhead Rail Systems for Fall Arrest


Our overhead rail fall arrest systems provide effective, unrestricted fall protection for multiple users working above a designated zone. When used with an inertial reel or self-retracting lifeline, these systems maintain the user in a fall restraint position, reducing the risk of mid-air suspension. These rails can be mounted to various surfaces, ensuring compliant height safety where other systems might be impractical.



Problem-Solving Applications of Overhead Rail Systems


  • Airplane Maintenance

Ensuring compliance with height safety regulations, our overhead rail systems provide secure access from above, which is essential for the maintenance, cleaning, and upkeep of aircraft.

These systems allow workers to remain secure even on uneven surfaces at height.


Airplane Hangar Maintenance Access
  • Mining

In the mining industry, our overhead rails offer safe and efficient access for equipment maintenance and operational inspections, and height access above machinery and elevated areas access, addressing the unique challenges of working in such environments. Overhead rail can solve various height safety in mining.


  • Large Vehicle Wash Platforms

For the maintenance and cleaning of large vehicles, our overhead rail systems provide secure and unrestricted access, enhancing both safety and efficiency. Suitable for track wash and maintenance bays.


Other Applications For Overhead Rail Systems:


  • Food manufacturing and Overhead rail system for meat processing.
  • Construction Sites. Provides safe access for workers during high-rise building projects.
  • Warehouse Operations and Maintenance. Ensures safety for tasks performed at height, such as lighting maintenance and inventory management.
  • Manufacturing Facilities. Facilitates safe access to elevated machinery and equipment for maintenance and inspections.
  • Heavy Vehicles Maintenance Access in Mining




Additional airplane maintenance access systems also feature other height safety systems:

- Airplane Maintenance Access Stair Platforms

- Helicopter Maintenance Access Solutions


Additional Features


+ Safe, continuous movement

Overhead Rail Systems let staff work at height while moving freely and safely. They prevent falls and protect people working below.


+ Full system integration

Workers can move from vertical to horizontal positions on one continuous system without disconnecting. The system incorporates self-retracting lifelines (SRLs) for added safety and ease of movement.


+ Efficient design

Minimal intrusion into the workspace, high load capacity, and clear floors improve both safety and efficiency.


+ Flexible installation

Suitable for a wide range of structures and applications.


+ Custom options

Systems can be tailored to specific site requirements.

Overhead Rail System for Airplane Maintenance Access

The Tri-Rail Fall Restraint System is a proprietary fall arrest and rope access solution designed for environments where consistent fall protection is essential.


Designed for extended work areas, the system features large spans that ensure continuous and secure attachment for harness connections. Its rigid rails provide uninterrupted mobility, allowing multiple operators to work safely and efficiently at the same time.


Typical applications include atrium maintenance, aircraft wing and fuselage repairs, tail cleaning, and cockpit inspections.


The Tri-Rail System reduces maintenance time, increases efficiency, and supports faster turnaround by enabling several workers to operate on different sections of an aircraft or structure simultaneously.


One of its standout features is the ability to accommodate complex architectural designs, including corners and irregular curves. Manufactured from marine-grade aluminium and 304 stainless steel, the system is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and built to perform in demanding or highly corrosive environments.


With a 25-year materials warranty and 2-year installation warranty, the Tri-Rail System provides long-term reliability and peace of mind. It is a robust choice for industries ranging from aviation and mining to large-scale vehicle maintenance.
