Fall Arrest Systems

• Exceed OSHA 1926 Subpart M Construction standard and ANSI Z359 Fall Protection Code
• Feature an enclosed track design that is engineered for easy movement. 
• Support the full impact of falls vertically and also at a 30º angle 
• Use cold rolled steel track keeps dirt and dust from settling on the rolling surface, giving you smooth and consistent ease of movement
• Feature a running flange with a 2º taper to keep the trolley centered.  This allows the trolley and lanyard to easily follow the worker, rather than forcing them to pull free a trolley that has become stuck. 

• Falls account for 8% of all occupational fatalities from trauma*
• There were 680 workplace fatalities caused by falls in 2008**
• There are an average of 2 fall related workplace deaths each day in the U.S. 

Are you meeting OSHA standards?  OSHA 1926 requires fall protection for all employees who work at height, defined as:

• 4' per OSHA 1910 General Industry Standards
• 5' per OSHA 1918 Long Shoring Standards
• 6' per OSHA Construction Standards

Gorbel Tether Track Systems are designed by qualified engineers to exceed the OSHA 1926 Subpart M Construction standard and the ANSI Z359 Fall Protection Code.

• Capacity: 900 pound maximum arresting force
• Anchor Systems for Fall Arrest
• Mounting styles: Ceiling Mounted, Free Standing Monorail and Bridge Anchor Systems
• These systems are a reliable, cost effective way to reduce the risk of injury in elevated work environments
• Standard systems designed to support multiple workers, each weighing up to 310 lbs with tools
• We do custom systems, too:  Higher capacities, free standing, fold-away, jib, and outdoor systems are all available

• Unlimited monorail and runway lengths; 15' span for bridge anchor system
• Less fall clearance distance requiring less clearance from the anchor point
• Reduced risk of secondary injuries because the system stays firm and minimizes total fall distance
• Reduced material and labor costs due to the longer distance between supports
• Uninterrupted protection for additional workers

• Ceiling Mounted or Free Standing Monorail and Bridge Anchor Systems
• Plain, trussed, or dual trussed track depending on your application
• Tether Trolleys
