Overhead Rigid Rail Systems for Abseil and Rope Access

Overhead systems provide enhanced mobility and higher levels of safety for abseil or rope access operations. Anchor Safe is a certified preferred installer for Kattsafe rigid rail, davit and needle systems.

Rigid Rail Systems

Rigid rail systems provide a permanently mounted anchorage track for rope access technicians to efficiently access large areas of the facade. This not only increases safety but also saves time and money on rope access cleaning and maintenance services. Rated to 18kN for rope access or up to 600kg per trolley.

Davit Arm Systems

Davit arm systems provide a cantilevered anchorage device for rope access technicians. The davit base is permanently mounted to the structure whilst the davit arm can be relocated from base to base. Davit systems are rated for a single user and designed to withstand a 12kN rope access load or a safe working load of 400kg.

Needle Systems

Needle systems provide a cantilevered anchorage device for rope access technicians, conveniently relocatable along a rigid rail that is mounted to the roof deck. Needle systems are rated for a single user and designed to withstand a 12kN rope access load or a safe working load of 400kg.

Fall Arrest Overhead Rail Systems Design, Installation, and Certification

The design of an overhead rail system takes careful planning and understanding of the Australian Standards, Legislation, and Codes of Practice. Anchor Safe overhead rail or track and harness systems provide effective unrestricted fall arrest protection for multiple users working at height.

When used as an overhead fall arrest system in conjunction with an inertial reel or retracting lifeline, the overhead rail system ensures the user remains in a fall restraint position at all times and the risk of mid-air suspension is reduced.

As an overhead system, the rail can be mounted to purlins, metal or concrete decks, ceilings, or side-mounted on a wall. This provides compliant height safety for users where other fall arrest systems may be impractical or otherwise impair the versatility and efficiency of the worker.
