Freestanding Monorail
Rigid Lifelines™ Freestanding Monorail fall protection systems provide coverage on a single path up to 30° off center. These systems are well suited for outdoor uses that require long spans of fall protection coverage for the worker when there is no existing structure for mounting a system. Installation requires one or multiple permanent foundations. Freestanding systems are available in either a cantilevered, H-frame, or T-frame design.
Features
IMPORTANT NOTE: Our systems are designed for workers up to 400lbs when used with 900 MAF energy absorbing lanyards. Custom systems are available for heavier workers; please inquire with our sales department for more information.
