Rigid Rail Fall Protection For Railcars & Trucks
Our durable rigid fall protection system features an enclosed track with optional bypass capability. No other rigid rail fall protection system provides bypass capability combined with the enclosed track benefits of FlexRail and no other company in North America has designed more fall protection systems than Flexible Lifeline Systems.
Eliminate Ice And Snow Build-Up
The FlexRail enclosed track completely eliminates snow or ice build up providing unprecedented ease of movement when you need it most. The retractable lifeline remains overhead at all times providing additional support on slippery surfaces. We recommend that the user “lock” the retractable lifeline and use it as additional support while walking.
Eliminate Dust And Debris Buildup
The FlexRail provides an unprecedented 1:100 movement-to-weight ratio. The retractable lifeline remains overhead at all times completely eliminating any potential for an in-line swing-fall. The enclosed track completely eliminates dust and debris build-up, providing a maintenance-free fall protection system. Old style I-beam trolley systems are prone to dust and debris build-up on the exposed flanges, which is knocked off the beam when the trolley passes by and potentially into the railcar or truck resulting in contaminated product. This is no longer a concern with the FlexRail.
Easy To Use Fall Protection
The system is completely hands-free, allowing the employee to concentrate on the task at hand. Due to the 1:100 movement-to-weight ratio, the retractable lifeline remains directly overhead at all times, eliminating the possibility for an in-line swing fall.
Easy Future Expansion
The modular style of the FlexRail makes it easy to add sections when you expand your capacities. We’ll even design your system with your expansion plans in mind to further reduce costs when you are ready to increase capacity.
Affordability
Combine a competitive initial cost with minimal ongoing maintenance, increased productivity, and peace of mind, and a FlexRail system may well be the choice for you.
Reliability
The FlexRail enclosed track is by far the most reliable rigid rail system in use today. With its 1:100 movement to weight ratio, the elimination of dust, debris, and ice and snow build up, it is the safest system in use today. With systems installed all over the world, FLS provides you with the peace of mind you deserve, knowing that you’re providing employees with the best fall protection system available.
Optional Bypass Capability
With each user on their own enclosed track, multiple users gain the added benefit of bypass resulting in increased safety and productivity.
Durability
All structural components are hot-dip galvanized for added durability and corrosion control. The teflon wheels of the sealed bearing trolleys do not damage the coating resulting in years of maintenance free use. A life expectancy of 25 years, maintenance free, is not uncommon in most industries.
Single Pedestal FlexRail
The single pedestal FlexRail system shown above combines the FlexRail system with a single column and pier. It is ideal for congested areas where multiple pedestals would interfere with traffic flow.
Access Stairs And Platforms
FlexRail systems are available with a stair and access gangway to provide safe and easy access. A variety of heights are available and can be customized to suit your specific applications and requirements.
Attaches To Any Structure
FlexRail systems can be custom-manufactured to attach to any structure as needed. While this is ideal for low overhead applications, the low weight-to-movement ratio means high overhead systems are feasible even with the longest retractable lifelines. Our safety industry experts’ comprehensive understanding of the multiple connection and span options available makes attaching FlexRail to any structure possible.
