Horizontal lifeline system
ALTIRAIL
Horizontal rail lifeline
High-performance horizontal rail lifeline with movable carriages for floors, walls and soffits. Suspension and tensioning possible.
-
Horizontal continuous movement
-
Large horizontal displacement, with the possibility of working in suspension and/or tension
The ALTIRAIL horizontal system is a rail solution for fall protection.
Compared to a cable lifeline, the ALTIRAIL rail system is effective even at low fall heights.
Offering great fluidity and comfort of use, it can be used remotely, in tension or even in suspension. Versatile, it allows unlimited applications on all types of structures: concrete, steel, waterproofed surfaces, metal or wooden structures.
For specific uses where a fixing base is not available, the ALTIRAIL system can be combined with a steel rope.

Which horizontal lifeline system should you choose?
When it comes to selecting a horizontal lifeline system, there are a multitude of factors to consider. It's a decision that requires careful evaluation, given the critical role these systems play in fall-arrest and fall-protection. Delta Plus has a broad range of solutions, so you can be confident in finding the one that perfectly matches your requirements.
Firstly, it's essential to consider the nature of your work environment. Different work environments require different systems. For instance, working on a flat roof with a solid structure might warrant a different solution compared to a scenario where a worker is required to navigate around a curved surface or an environment with multiple elevation levels.
The type of work performed and the frequency of movement in the horizontal plane also play a critical role. If the tasks necessitate a significant amount of horizontal mobility, a system that allows for smooth and unimpeded travel would be a preferable choice. This could include self-retracting lifelines that automatically adjust to the user's movement.
Materials also matter. While most lifelines are made from high-strength steel cable, there are situations where a synthetic lifeline could be a better choice. These could be scenarios where the lifeline could come into contact with sharp edges that might potentially damage a steel cable, or in corrosive environments that could degrade metallic components.
It's also crucial to consider the number of workers the system needs to accommodate. Some horizontal lifeline systems are designed for single-user applications, while others can handle multiple workers simultaneously.
Always bear in mind that any system should meet the necessary OSHA regulations and ANSI standards. Each component of the system, whether it's the harnesses, lanyards, connectors, or the lifeline itself, should meet the required safety standards.
The chosen system must be able to limit the fall arrest forces to safe levels. In this context, the shock-absorbing capabilities of lanyards or SRLs play a critical role.
Lastly, the system should be user-friendly and comfortable for the worker. A comfortable harness and a smooth-gliding connector can significantly improve the user experience, potentially increasing worker compliance with safety regulations.
