Introducing RailPro

Clearance requirements depend on system configuration, user weight, lanyard type, and anchor positioning. However, rigid rail systems typically require significantly less clearance than cable lifelines due to minimal deflection.

Unlike cable systems that can sag several metres under load, RailPro's rigid profile controls fall distance more predictably. This makes it suitable for low headroom envrionments, internal maintenance zones, plant rooms, and reas above machinery where clearance is limited.

A project-specific clearance calculation is always carried out to confirm suitability.

Yes. RailPro systems are engineered and installed in accordance with relevant UK and European standards for fall arrest systems, including EN 795, and BS 7883 where applicable.

All installations are supported by structural verification and certified calculations. Upon completion, documentation is provided to demonstrate compliance for duty holders, facilities managers, insurers, and HSE inspection purposes.

Yes. RailPro can be configured to support façade access, suspended maintenance platforms, and rope access applications, depending on project requirements.

Where davit bases or edge-mounted systems are not suitable, rigid rail systems provide an engineered overhead solution that allows controlled, predictable load transfer through the supporting structure.

Each application is assessed individually to confirm loading criteria and user requirements.

In a fall scenario, loads are transferred evenly along the rigid rail rather than being concentrated at end anchors. This reduces peak structural demand and limits excessive deflection.
Because the rail does not rely on tensioned cables, there is no sag or rebound effect. This improves fall predictability and helps control swing fall risk when designed correctly.

A full resuce plan must always be developed as part of the system design.

RailPro systems require periodic inspection in line with manufacturer guidance and relevant standards.
Unlike cable lifelines, rigid rails do not require re-tensioning or cable replacement. Inspections focus on fixings, structural integrity, trolley condition, and general system alignment.

Annual inspection and recertification is typically recommended, with frequency adjusted based on usage and environment.

Yes. Rigid rail systems are particularly effective in internal envrionments such as factories, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and plant rooms.
Because there is no cable sag, the system maintains consistent alignment and allows smooth trolley trabel without intereference from surrounding equipment.

It is also well suited to repetitive maintenance tasks where productivity and user comfort are important.

The supporting structure must be capable of safely transferring fall arrest loads into the building frame.

This may involve reinforced concrete slabs, structural steel beams, or engineered secondary steelwork. Load calculations are completed as part of the design process to confirm capacity and fixing strategy.

Where required, strengthening works or bespoke brackets can be engineered to ensure compliance.

Rigid rail systems provide continuous overhead protection along a defined route, whereas davit systems typically protect fixed access points.

RailPro is often selected where users need to move laterally while remaining connected, or where repeated repositioning or portable davits would be in inefficient.

The correct solution depends on access strategy, clearance constraints, and operational frequency.

Yes, subjec to design configuration. RailPro can be engineered to accommodate multiple users simultaneously, provided load criteria and spacing requirements are met.

System capacity is confirmed during design to ensure structural compliance and safe working limits.

Upon completion, clients receive:

- Structural calculations
- System drawings
- Installation certification
- User guidance
- Inspection and maintenance recommendations

This ensures the duty holder has full audit-ready compliance records.
