Bespoke Arrest Systems
The Met-Track® rigid rail system consists of a permanently installed rigid anchorage rail and free-running anchorage connectors, housed within an enclosed profile. Available in spans of up to 2500mm, with longer spans available upon request, and provides support for two users.
Reduced Freefall distance
Offering numerous advantages over traditional wire-based systems, the Met-Track® rigid rail fall arrest system will not stretch in the event of a fall. This minimises the fall distance, which will further reduce the likelihood of injury from the fall. Unlike its wire-based alternative, the Met-Track® fall arrest system can be configured for self-rescue, accompanied by descent or remote rescue arrangements.
These are crucial factors that must be considered when selecting fall arrest systems, including fall arrest equipment, ladders and other fall arrest devices.
Modular Configuration
The Met-Track® rigid rail system boasts the ability to feature multiple rail configurations, allowing users to pass one another while carrying out high-altitude work. Traditional systems prevent this crossover, reducing the efficiency with which operators perform tasks due to waiting for their colleague to complete their work.
Utilising the correct design layout, the Met-Track® systems offer safe access to high or hard-to-reach areas that are considered high-risk. As a preference, the Met-Track® should be installed in a fall restraint configuration to minimise the possibility of a fall. In circumstances that do not allow for fall restraint, the Met-Track® can be installed to provide workers with the ultimate protection against falls.
For architectural applications, the Met-Track® is easily incorporated into the structural design, allowing it to be concealed within areas such as the eaves of the building, ensuring the building’s overall aesthetics remain intact.

Free movement for multiple users with bypass capability
Trolley movement on the Met-Track® rigid rail systems is FLUID! The trolley moves when you move! A user doesn’t have to wrestle the trolley over and through intermediate supports.
Utilising fitting single rails close to each other, users have the ability to cross each other in complete safety whilst carrying out their work at the various locations.

System Types
Ceiling-Mounted Monorails
When floor space is limited, the Met-Track® rigid rail systems enable a permanent fall arrest solution without the need for floor-mounted structures, leaving the floor area free. Perfect for production and warehouse facilities, vehicle loading or unloading and industrial cleaning and maintenance.
Free-Standing Monorails
Free-standing monorail Met-Track® systems provide independent and permanent fall arrest solutions, covering long spans of area, where no existing support exists. Configurations include cantilever arms, t-frame or goal post structures, which cover the access area.
Swing Arm Systems
Met-Track® rigid rail swing arm systems typically provide a permanent fall arrest solution for areas where overhead cranes and fall arrest systems share the same space. Swing arm systems provide circular or semi-circular coverage within a limited footprint. When not in use, it can be removed to eliminate an obstruction in the work area.
Combine the swing arms and a simple monorail to complete a foldaway system. These can be supplied as an independent floor-mounted system or mounted to existing columns or walls. Motorised arm rotation is also available and required for longer or multiple bay systems.
