Horizontal Guided Rail Connector

The system is designed as a continuous horizontal rail that allows workers to move freely while remaining connected to a fall arrest system. It replaces fixed anchorage points that restrict movement to the length of a lanyard. By enabling lateral movement along the rail, it increases both safety and operational flexibility during tasks. The rail can be configured to suit various structural layouts without compromising integrity.

It protects against falls from height by arresting a worker’s descent through a controlled energy-absorbing mechanism. The guided glider moves smoothly along the rail, maintaining constant connection and reducing swing fall risks. In the event of a slip or loss of balance, the system activates to limit fall distance and impact forces. This ensures compliance with recognised safety standards for personal fall protection.

Installation is possible at multiple elevations including low-level, vertical surfaces, and overhead positions depending on the work environment. The modular design includes pre-formed corners and adjustable brackets to adapt to complex structures. Components are engineered for straightforward assembly with minimal parts required. The rail accommodates thermal movement, reducing stress on the host structure during temperature changes or after a fall event.

• Enables continuous lateral movement along unprotected work zones
• Reduces fall arrest forces through controlled energy dissipation
• Adaptable to foot-level, wall, or overhead mounting configurations
• Supports simultaneous use by multiple workers when configured appropriately
