SYSTEM DESIGN
HEAT:
The frame system is not designed for use in high temperature environments (greater than 130° F, 54° C).
Protection of the system must be provided if exposure to welding, metal cutting, or similar activities are expected.
CORROSION:
System components may be damaged by exposure to environments where caustic vapors or
chemicals are present. Do not install the frame system where rapid corrosion due to chemical attack could occur.
Caution must be used to assure that small parts such as fasteners are not subjected to rapid galvanic corrosion
due to contact with similar metals.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS:
Due to the possibility of electrical current
fl
owing through the rail or the user
equipment, use extreme caution when locating the system relative to electrical hazards.
MOVING EQUIPMENT:
It is recommended to put the unit in the lowered position before moving. Hazards associated
with frame system installations near moving machinery (e.g. conveyors, rotating shafts, rotating gears, etc.) must
be addressed either by the frame system design (such as using restraint equipment to prevent contact with moving
equipment) or other controls agreed to by the site management.
SHARP EDGES AND ABRASIVE SURFACES:
Avoid installing the frame system where fall protection equipment
may contact sharp edges or abrasive surfaces that may damage it. If working around sharp edges is unavoidable,
provide protection by securing a heavy pad over the exposed edge or use other administrative controls.
WHEEL OPTIONS:
The following wheels are available for Boxed-Frame Rail Fall Arrest System applications
requiring additional mobility.
Wheel Options for Boxed-Frame Rail Fall Arrest Systems that Require Wheels
8” Solid Urethane
12” Solid Rubber
16” Pneumatic
18” Dual Pneumatic
GLIDE RAIL TROLLEYS:
Table 1 presents the available Trolley options and de
fi
nes criteria for selecting the
appropriate Trollies for your frame system and Glide 360 rail.
IMPORTANT:
After the Glide Rail has been fully installed, reinspect all components for damage, correct
orientation, and proper torque on all nuts and bolts. Attach the intended fall arrest equipment (SRLs, Lanyards,
etc.) to each Trolley and walk the Trolley the entire length of the Track Assembly to ensure the Trolley Wheels
travel smoothly in the Track.
PERSONAL FALL ARREST SYSTEMS:
This product is approved for use with retractable devices and energy
absorbing lanyards with a maximum arresting force (M.A.F.) rating of 900 lbs. (4 kN) or less. Retractable devices
and lanyards must be installed, maintained, and used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM CONFORMANCE:
Some Boxed-Frame Rail Fall Arrest Systems are equipped with
hydraulics for raising and lowering the frame. Equipment comprising the Hydraulic System is compliant with the
following directives:
• Directive 2004/108/EC - Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
• Directive 2006/95/EC - Low Voltage (LVD)
INSTALLATION DOCUMENTATION:
After installation of the Boxed-Frame Rail Fall Arrest System,
“Installation
Documentation”
meeting the informational requirements of EN 795:2012 Annex A must be completed by the
installer and handed over to the user’s designated representative. The Installation Documentation should be kept
at the job site for purposes of subsequent examination of the Boxed-Frame Rail Fall Arrest System.
