Rigid Rail Anchor Systems

The basic Met-Track® profile is available in four different sizes for Fall Restraint, Fall Arrest and Suspended Access, such as Abseil applications. Depending upon the application and profile selected this range offers protection for up to 4 users utilising 4 metre maximum supports. As standard our tracks are designed to accommodate fall angles up to 30° from the installed position.

  • Less Fall Clearance
  • Longer Span Distances Between Supports
  • Reduced Risk Of Secondary Fall Injuries
  • Safer Work For Multiple People

FOLD AWAY - Client Testimonial

MET-TRACK SIAB & DUAL

MET-TRACK®  Rigid Rail is a Horizontal Fall Arrest / Fall Restraint system that comprises a permanently installed rigid anchorage rail and free running anchorage connectors housed within the enclosed profile. Available in either standard or reinforced configurations MET-TRACK® can be used for up to 8 users with supports of up to 12m.

Utilising the correct design layout, MET-TRACK® offers safe access to high level work areas that would normally be classed as high risk. As a preference MET-TRACK® should be installed in a fall restraint configuration to minimise the possiblity of a fall. In circumstances that do not allow for fall restraint MET-TRACK® can be installed to provide workers with the ultimate fall arrest protection.

As standard our tracks are designed to accommodate fall angles up to 30° from the installed position.

MET-TRACK SIAB

For applications that require wider spans to accommodate existing building steelwork our range of MET-TRACK® SIAB profiles are ideal. From just 3 profile sizes we can offer spans up to 12 metres and 4 users. This spine design has been developed to keep the profile weight to a minimum but provide an effective solution for wider span arrangements.

MET-TRACK DUAL

Need to get past your colleague, not that easy when you have a single lifeline. Problem solved with the MET-TRACK® DUAL profiles. Just two profile choices offer spans up to 10 metres and incredibly up to 8 users. The simple bypass facility allows for users to move more freely over the work area, increasing productivity.

MET-TRACK ALUMINIUM AL360

A profile recently added to the MET-TRACK® range is our ‘ALUMINIUM AL360’. Designed specifically for aesthetic installations where the profile must become integral to the design of the building. Ideal for Abseil applications, it caters for spans up to 3 metres with up to 2 users moving freely around facades or atriums for those necessary cleaning and maintenance routines. The clean lines of the circular profile are not interfered by traditional joints as all connections are hidden away.

MET-TRACK ALUMINIUM AL700

If you need large spans but are limited by weight due to the roof structure then our MET-TRACK® ALUMINIUM AL700 is perfect for the application. Also ideal for applications within the food industry where there is a concern about rust or painting chippings falling into the food process. Spans up to 6 metres with up to 2 users are available.

Anchorage Connectors

Within each MET-TRACK® profile a mobile anchorage connector provides for the secured connection of personal protective equipment. There are 3 options available illustrated above:-

Track V's Wire

MET-TRACK® offers many advantages over traditional wire based systems, one of which is that in the event of a fall the profile will not deflect, unlike its wire alternative. This minimalises the fall distance which in turn will reduce the severity of any fall related injuries. These are all important factors that must be considered when selecting fall arrest systems.

MET-TRACK Abseil

Providing full permanent access for routine inspection, testing and maintenance works is not always possible, an alternative method is to provide a less intrusive track system for suspending personnel, using industrial rope access techniques.

MET-TRACK® Abseil provides such a facility from its range of steel and aluminium profiles. On buildings with the need to access facades, large curtain walled/glazed areas or non load bearing panels, the installation of a MET-TRACK® Abseil system enables operatives to traverse quickly and efficiently between work places without the need for multiple rigging and derigging.

Our track systems consist of a range of steel and aluminium sections that include either permanently installed or removable trolleys.
Unlike standard abseil rails, which require users to shuffle between supports and then transfer past them, our track systems operate with free running trolleys providing ease of movement so necessary for working in these extreme conditions.

Tracks can be installed as either soffit or face mount and in both cases the main supporting structure can be fixed back and concealed within the building structure.

MET-TRACK FOLD AWAY SYSTEM

MET-TRACK® Rigid Rail 'FOLD AWAY' Anchor System has been designed to provide an effective, fixed path fall arrest solution when the arms are fully extended and conveniently fold away when not in use.

Systems can be supplied as independent, floor mounted or can be mounted to existing columns or walls. Motorised arm rotation is available and is generally require on longer / multiple bay systems.

Ideal for facilities that carry out railroad and truck maintenance, food processing plants and various manufacturing facilities where overhead cranes are regularly in use.
