FALL PROTECTION WITH LIMITED FALL SPACE
Rail systems are a fall protection solution ideal for high work situations with limited mobility. Working at height always carries risks. Safety is crucial, especially when there is limited fall space. For all these scenarios, the XSRail of XSPlatforms is the perfect solution. This innovative rail system, featuring a robust profile beam and an advanced runner, ensures that users can move safely and efficiently across the surface.
FALL PROTECTION RAIL
When a guardrail system is not feasible, the safe zone on the roof will shrink by about 4 meters (13 ft) from the roof edge. Individuals can only venture outside the safe zone if they are tethered to an anchor point or a fall protection system such as a Rail system or Lifeline system.
The XSRail system from XSPlatforms bends less in the event of a fall accident compared to a lifeline system; this results in a shorter fall distance. This makes the XSRail extremely suitable for projects and situations where limited fall height is available.
Designed and approved to meet the following standards:
What are Rail systems?
XSPlatforms Rail systems consists of a rigid horizontal rail, combined with a runner, which allows users to safely work on heights. The functionality of this Rail system can be compared with a horizontal lifeline. Both systems have their own features and advantages.
The advantage of the rail system over a lifeline system is that rail has less deflection when a fall occurs. Because of this, the fall distance is shorter than with a lifeline system. So, for projects and situations where limited fall clearance is available, an XSRail system will be the best solution. When using an automatic fall arrest device, it arrests the user almost immediately in case of a fall, ensuring quick response and safety.
XSRAIL APPLICATIONS
FOR ON ROOF, WALL OR CEILING
Our rail fall protection system is suitable for installation on various types of constructions, such as concrete and hollow-core slab structures. Additionally, the XSRail system is suitable for direct installation on (hollow) concrete walls and ceilings and on rigid steel structures such as I-beams. Regardless of the orientation of the XSRail, the system is exceptionally strong and can span distances of up to 6 meters. With more mounting points, you can create the right configuration to use the special XSRail Rope Access runner, making the XSRail the ideal fall protection solution for rope access techniques!
Rail systems for Roofs
When installed on roofs, the XSRail fall protection system is mounted on a series of XSBase plates. This unique roof footplate only requires a single fixation, ensuring a short installation time and minimizing the risk of roof leaks.
Rail systems for Walls
For concrete structures, the XSRail brackets can be installed directly on the surface using mechanical anchors and bolts. For steel structures, the brackets are similarly attached directly to the surface using bolt-and-nut connections.
Rail systems for overhead use
XSRail fall protection is mounted to rigid structures such as I-beams using bolt-and-nut connections. This makes the overhead system ideal for integration between grid panels.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A FALL PROTECTION RAIL SYSTEM?
Minimal Fall Distance
In situations where there is little space for a fall, the XSRail offers the most optimal solution. The rigid rail prevents long fall distances, significantly enhancing safety. This is especially important in workplaces where even a short fall can have serious consequences.
Efficient and Smooth rail systems
Thanks to the XSRail runner, users can move along the rail safe and without any interruption. The runner glides light and effortlessly, providing maximum freedom of movement and increased productivity. This is a significant advantage over other fall protection systems that may restrict user movement.
Suitable for Every Fall Direction
The XSRail provides fall protection regardless of the direction in which a fall occurs. This makes the system suitable for complex workplaces such as industrial installations, where employees need to work in various directions.
Aesthetically Responsible
The discreet installation of the XSRail makes the system suitable for buildings where aesthetics play an important role. The rail system integrates seamlessly into the building’s design without compromising its appearance.
Certifications & Safety Standards
The XSRail from XSPlatforms is not only designed for optimal safety and ease of use but also complies with the strictest international standards in fall protection. The conformity of this rail system has been extensively tested and certified by SATRA Technology Centre Ltd. (United Kingdom) according to the following key standards:
The corrosion resistance of all XSPlatforms fall protection products is tested according to ISO 9227:2012. Furthermore the horizontal XSRail system has been designed to meet the requirements of the following standards:
With these certifications, our rail systems guarantee the highest level of protection and reliability, even in the most demanding environments. Users can work with confidence, knowing that the system meets internationally recognized fall protection standards.
