Permanent Custom Systems

Permanent fall protection systems differ from mobile solutions because their designs are suited for stationary work sites that perform frequent, repetitive tasks. One of the primary benefits of a permanent solution is the capability of connecting the system to an existing wall, column, or ceiling to increase structural integrity and maximize space efficiency. 

The engineers at Rigid Lifelines® set themselves apart from competitors by having the knowledge and skills to design tailor-made fall protection systems specific to nearly any industrial application. Our team will learn about your operation’s details and understand your unique needs to create an innovative solution with the fastest response times. Whether your company requires an entirely new system or an upgrade to an existing one, you can trust us to deliver an optimal product.

Fall Protection Solutions Customized to Your Needs

At Rigid Lifelines®, we understand that a one-size-fits-all fall protection system doesn’t work for every application. When you provide us with the specifics of the task you need to perform, we’ll design a practical solution that fulfills your operational requirements. Our custom permanent systems are perfect for operations that have specific constraints or complete specialized tasks repeatedly.

Examples of our customizable permanent systems include:

    • Ceiling-mounted monorail: Our ceiling-mounted monorails permanently connect to existing ceiling structures, allowing workers to travel in a straight line with the added flexibility of moving up to 30 degrees off-track. These systems are ideal for repeated travel along a fixed path and offer easy installation, including in larger buildings with high ceilings.

    • Traveling bridge: Our traveling bridge anchor track systems utilize a trolley that moves along two permanently mounted runways, enabling workers to perform various tasks without unhooking. The tracks mount to the ceiling’s support beams or freestanding floor-bolted columns.

    • Freestanding systems: Our permanently installed freestanding anchor track systems provide fall protection in locations without existing structural support. Options include Inverted-LInverted-U, and T-frame anchor track systems designed to your specific requirements.
