![]() 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. | |||||

![]() 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. | |||||
![]() 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. | |||||
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® 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. | |||||
