Fall Restraint Overhead Rail Systems
Fall Restraint Overhead Rail System
Safetylyne’s Overhead Rail System provides continuous, secure attachment for multiple users working at heights.
It is an effective fall protection where overhead anchorage is essential, eg. airport hangars, workshops, maintenance bays, industrial access areas, etc.
Our comprehensive services include the design, installation, fabrication and certification of customised overhead rail fall arrest systems, tailored to meet the specific needs of your industry.
Overhead Rail Systems Features
- Full Compliance. Adheres to all relevant Australian standards, all overhead access systems are compliant with AS/NZS 1891.2.
- Minimal Deflection. Ensures minimal movement during a fall, enhancing safety.
- Versatile Applications. Suitable for fall arrest and abseil (rope access).
- Uninterrupted Movement. Allows multiple workers to move freely and safely on elevated areas with potential fall hazards (eg, the top of the airplane or machinery).
- High-Quality Materials. Manufactured in Australia using high-grade aluminium and stainless steel.
- Flexible Mounting Options. Can be mounted on various surfaces, including purlins, metal or concrete decks, ceilings, and walls.
- Aesthetic and Durable. Neat, unobtrusive design with optional powder coating.
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 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 effective 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.
- Mining
In the mining industry, our overhead rails offer safe and efficient access for equipment maintenance and operational inspections, height access above machinery and elevated areas access, mining mills overhead maintenance access, and other types of height safety. This height safety system addresses the unique access challenges of working in mining environments. Overhead rail can solve various height safety in mining.
- Large Vehicle Wash Platforms
Our overhead rail fall arrest systems provide secure and unrestricted access, enhancing both safety and efficiency for maintenance and cleaning of large vehicles and machinery. 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.
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 access, tail cleaning, and cockpit inspections.
The Tri-Rail System helps to reduce maintenance time, increases efficiency, and supports faster work turnaround by enabling several workers to operate on different sections of an aircraft or structure at the same time.
This access system can 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 (subject to regular inspections), the Overhead Rail Fall Arrest 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.
