Fall Protection is a serious business. Designing and supplying Engineered Fall Protection systems is a responsibility and privilege that we do not take lightly. Northern Strands is excited to offer our customers the Gorbel Rigid Rail Tether Track Fall Protection Systems. These systems provide workers with increased mobility and can accommodate multiple workers. The Tether Track Fall Protection System is available in a number of configurations to assist in all types of applications.
Bridge Systems
The Tether Track Bridge System consists of two runways and a traveling bridge. This offers users maximum coverage in a rectangular area. Multiple bridges can be used to support several workers. The bridge(s) can be use for ceiling mounted or free standing systems. This allows for multiple users to use the system at the same time.
Free Standing Monorails
Free Standing Fall Protection Systems are designed to protect workers maintaining, inspecting, or loading & unloading rail cars and tankers. Heights from 16' up to 26 and standard lengths up to 204' in single and dual track styles are available. The Dual bypass track allows workers to pass each other without having to disconnect from the system. Outdoor coatings are offered to maximize protection and the Free Standing Monorail is designed for wind, snow, and ice.
Ceiling Mounted Monorail
Ceiling Mounted Monorails are ideal for situations where floor space is very limited. This system can provide fall protection by using existing support steel and is ideal for production and warehouse facilities. Workers have increased mobility using the curved track and numerous hanger options for all types of building structures
Fold Away Systems
The Fold Away Tether Track System can be deployed when needed and retracted when the job is complete. This system is best used on work cells that require overhead cranes where floor space is minimal or when fall protection is not easily accessible and is required. Single or multiple workers can easily bypass one another without disconnecting when using the dual bypass track.
Swing Arm Systems
This system provides compact circular or semi-circular protection and can swing back in when not in use. The swing arm is able to be maneuvered over the work space whenever it is needed. The track is able to accommodate a single worker or multiple people at the same time.
Single Pole Systems
If space is an issue and fall protection is required, the Single Pole Fall Protection System is a great alternative to standard multi-column systems. This system is popular for servicing tank cars or heavy duty truck maintenance. The Single Pole System requires a single foundation and can span from 10' to 53' in length.
