Suspension systems for travelling ladders
Invisirung® Vertical Access Ladders with Folding Rungs
Designed with aesthetics in mind, the Invisirung® features a slim track and unique folding rungs.
Using the Invisirung® is quick and easy. Each rung folds down as the user ascends the ladder and then neatly folds behind the slim track upon descent. The rungs provide a positive ‘click’ latching action when folded down and require a release tab on the back of each rung to be pressed before folding back up.
Unlike wire-based systems, there is no need to re-tension the Invisirung®. It allows an additional user, ensuring effective rescue in the event of a fall arrest.
The Invisirung® has minimal visual impact, making it an ideal choice for rural locations or environments with strict planning requirements. Suitable for telecoms structures, pylons, chimneys, church towers, and sensitive or listed buildings.
To facilitate discreet integration into the designs of architects and specifiers with minimal structural impact, the rungs and rail can be painted.
Fallguard® Vertical Fall Arrest Access Ladders
Manufactured and tested to meet EN353-1 standards, Fallguard® provides the ultimate enclosed track vertical fall arrest system.
Unlike other enclosed track systems, Fallguard® features a unique asymmetrical track profile. Alongside a retraining carriage, it ensures correct orientation during insertion, with no additional bolt-on guides.
The Fallguard® system allows the user to travel vertically while utilising the turntable section. Movement into the adjoining horizontal profile is possible without disconnecting from the safety system.
The Fallguard® system incorporates notches within the track profile, enabling the retraining carriage to ‘lock off’ in the event of a fall. These notches also facilitate fixing various accessories and wall-mounting brackets without compromising safety.
The retaining carriage acts as the travelling link between the Fallguard® system and the operator. It is small, lightweight and extremely easy to use, ensuring a trouble-free experience.
Fallguard® has provided comprehensive fall protection for personnel across various applications and environments. Typical uses include maintenance access for telecommunication structures, electricity pylons, railway signals, towers, and silos, as well as roof access on high-rise commercial and industrial buildings.
It is also suitable for specialist applications, such as confined space installation for water utility companies and industrial chimney access for steeplejacks.
Optional fold-away platforms for resting or workstation areas are available and recommended every six to nine metres. These platforms are mounted to the rear of the track profile and fold away neatly when not in use.
The Fallguard® system has been deployed worldwide and offers an excellent, cost-effective alternative to installing fabricated ladders with additional fall arrest systems.
Available in either galvanised carbon steel or 304-grade stainless steel, the Fallguard® system and its components ensure durability and reliability.
