    336 FOOT FALL PROTECTION SYSTEM PROTECTS WORKERS ACCESSING GONDOLA RAILCARS

    The US Government oversees a contaminated work site in the northeastern United States where radioactive thorium was processed during the early twentieth century. A large environmental services group was contracted by the government to remediate part of the job site and return it to a usable state. The remediation process involves digging up contaminated dirt and testing it for radioactivity. Once the dirt has been proven to meet acceptable radiation limits, it is removed from large piles with front-end loaders and transported to several gondola style railcars lined with plastic. After the railcars are full, workers climb ladders and enter the railcars.

Many end-users complained that a permanent structure would interfere with their work processes by being in the way of large overhead cranes.

    SIX MAN PORTABLE GANTRY FALL PROTECTION USED OVER MILITARY AIRCRAFT MOCK-UPS

    An aircraft training and simulator facility located in the southern United States, handles outsourced manufacturing of F22 Raptor aircraft mock-ups for pilot training/simulation for the United States Government. The manufacturing process involves the building of the F22 mock-ups in three sections, the aft, the arm, and the landing gear. These sections can weigh up to 20,000lbs. Each section is treated as an individual work station and may be as high as 6 to 9 feet off the ground. Sections that include the top of the aircraft are sloped and have a pitch similar to that of the roof on a house.
