Continuous Pass Through Horizontal Lifeline Design Considerations

Constructed from stainless steel components, continuous pass through horizontal lifelines offer exceptional corrosion resistance and component longevity. The distance spanned by a horizontal lifeline with continuous pass through is limited only by the ability to attach a series of anchor points to surrounding structure; crane rail HLL systems can safely span distances in excess of 600 feet. Our fall protection safety specialists can engineer an automatic pass through horizontal lifeline system to accommodate the special characteristics of your elevated work area, from corners to the absence of pre-existing anchor points and more. Each anchor point must be secure enough to withstand the forces generated by a fall and all sections of the HLL must be assessed to ensure that workers do not strike pipes, equipment, or other surfaces below before a fall can be arrested. Special care must also be taken to account for load and deflection rates which are determined by a number of factors, including pre-tension of the cable, length of the area spanned, and the number of workers connected to the system.
