Horizontal Lifelines for Crane Rail

Your facility’s overhead cranes represent a significant investment requiring periodic maintenance and inspection. And if you have ever personally walked the length of a crane rail, you understand the fall hazards associated with this work. A crane rail’s narrow, dust-covered walking surface is often one of the highest maintenance areas found in any facility.

One of the most common fall protection solutions for crane rail applications is a horizontal lifeline, which allows safe access to the entire rail length while maintaining 100% tie-off. Although crane lengths vary, we can install design and lifelines that range from 50′ to 1,000′ feet in a continuous pass.

Remember, ensuring working safety and OSHA compliance requires the implementation of a comprehensive fall prevention strategy, which includes the proper mix of fall protection equipment, and personnel training. Partnering with a fall protection company that appreciates the unique nature of your crane’s access points and potential fall hazards will ensure the safety of your workers and the OSHA compliance of your facility.
