We engineer, fabricate, and install rigid rail fall arrest systems that protect workers in environments with minimal fall clearance.
Rigid rail fall protection systems are one of the most common fall arrest solutions and one that we specialize in here at Haven Fall Protection. These systems are highly trusted across various industries—indoors and outdoors—because of their strong design, and we take care of everything from start to finish so you can focus on your business.
Our expertise in
engineering, fabricating, and installing these systems allows us to deliver tailored solutions that address the specific challenges and needs of each worksite and are
OSHA-compliant.
A core competency, installing custom overhead rigid rails is a critical aspect of our suite of fall protection solutions. These systems are recommended over horizontal lifeline systems when the vertical clearance is tight.
Rigid track systems don't have any vertical deflection. This means that if an employee falls while wearing a harness attached to a rigid steel beam as opposed to a cable, the cable would flex and stretch downward, but the steel beam would not. There's a concern that if the system flexes too much, then the worker could hit the ground. Also, there is usually less additional structural steel needed when using rigid tracks compared to horizontal lifelines.
Designed to arrest falls within an extremely short distance, rigid rails are ideal in settings where minimal fall clearance is critical. Unlike flexible systems, such as wire ropes, rigid rails provide a fixed anchor that immediately stops a fall, reducing the amount of distance a worker can drop. Also, rigid rail systems often incorporate integrated components like trolleys and self-retracting lifelines that further minimize the fall arrest distance.
Rigid rail systems boost worker productivity by allowing greater bypass capability. In traditional fall protection systems, the lack of flexibility can lead to workflow interruptions, but rigid rails enable workers to navigate around one another easily. By allowing unobstructed movements, workers can continue their tasks without unnecessary stops, increasing efficiency.
Constructed with high-grade materials such as stainless steel or specially treated alloys, rigid rail fall protection systems can withstand harsh environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures, humidity, and corrosive elements. This robust construction means that once installed, these systems require minimal maintenance, which reduces downtime and associated costs.
Rigid rail systems have built-in versatility, allowing for seamless integration into a variety of work environments. The modular design enables easy customization and expansion so that if your business grows or changes, your fall protection system can adapt accordingly. Plus, the versatility makes it possible to add or modify components without requiring a complete overhaul of the system.
Compliance with
OSHA standards means that rigid rail systems provide adequate fall arrest capabilities, minimizing the risk of injury from falls. These systems are thoroughly evaluated for their strength, durability, and reliability, confirming they can withstand the dynamic forces experienced during a fall event. Additionally, OSHA-compliant rigid rail systems come with the necessary documentation and certification, making it easier for employers to demonstrate their commitment to workplace safety during inspections or audits.
We’re proud to offer a diverse range of premium rigid rail options designed to meet the highest standards of safety and reliability. With our extensive selection, you’ll find the perfect solution for any fall protection requirement, from simple
installations to complex, custom-engineered systems.
The key benefit of a swing arm rigid rail system is its ability to pivot and extend, offering outstanding accessibility to hard-to-reach areas.
Permanent overhead rigid rails provide continuous and consistent safety coverage, essential for environments where the same elevated tasks are performed regularly.
Unlike permanent rigid rail systems, mobile versions offer portability, allowing them to be transported and deployed across multiple job sites as needed.
