Horizontal Trolley Rail Systems

When workers require horizontal mobility when working or rigging within close range of an unprotected vertical drop, conventional single-point anchors may prove impractical or insufficient. By contrast, horizontal trolley rail lifeline systems are ideal for long, confined spaces or tight quarters, providing non-restrictive fall protection and an effective means to suspend direct and primary rigging equipment.

These systems can be used as an alternative to single anchor points when independent anchors do not provide an acceptable degree of safety. While initially appearing similar, trolley rail systems differ from horizontal cable systems in their non-restrictive design and multi-purpose applications.

Additionally, trolley rail systems are rarely made subject to the same amplified loads as cable systems, since the system itself is engineered to distribute the load more evenly.
