While cable setups often have a lower initial cost, rigid track safety systems significantly reduce total fall distances and eliminate the pendulum effect or swing falls. For high frequency environments like railcar loading or aircraft maintenance, rigid rails require less maintenance and offer a longer service life. This provides a superior Total Cost of Ownership by eliminating the recurring expenses of cable tensioning, frequent replacements, and the higher injury risks associated with cable deflection.
