Fall arrest track - Nikocranes

Fall arrest track

Our fall arrest system is a horizontal rigid track system which consists of a mobile anchorage device, allowing for a person or persons to move freely and safely in a monorail or in crane system without the need to disconnect from the system. The small number of components required ensure the easy installation of the system which should always be installed horizontally. The fall arrest system NIKO PSS 25-26-27 is to be used exclusively for the safety of hanging persons. The system does not replace personal safety harnesses (PPE personal protective equipment)

NIKO track options

Track profile

Our fall arrest product range of 3 Track profle sizes can accommodate up to 3 users. For the frst person there must be a calculated 12kn dynamic load effecting the system, for each additional person + 1kn.

Reinforced track 045P

Reinforced track profile with welded square profiles (25/26/27.045P). CEN/TS16415:2013-D.
These type of reinforcements are used for applications that require larger spans in a monorail or as long travel tracks in a fall arrest crane system.

Reinforced track 048P

Dual reinforced track profile with welded square profiles (25/26/27.048P) CEN/TS16415:2013-D.
These type of reinforcements are used for monorails with wide spans, dual tracks allow two or more users to pass each other in the same working area.

For an effective installation of a NIKO FALL ARREST SYSTEM it is necessary to specify distance between the support brackets.

The permitted number of users in the system determines the maximum allowable distance between the support points of the track.

a.) Determination of the maximum number of persons
b.) Evaluation of the structural analysis of the supporting structure for the worst case scenario. In this case, all persons that are operating on the system are cause to fall at the same time.
c.) For the first person there must be calculated 12kn dynamic load effecting the system, for each
additional person + 1kn.
d.) For the maximum number of persons it is important for analysis of the rescue options.

For mounting points and mounting distances, please refer to our technical catalogue.

No bouncing effect that can cause injury on secondary falls.
There is less distance to fall and therefore less impact on the body.
Multiple person systems are safer. One person falling on a taut wire fall arrest system can cause other users to fall.
Following a fall the system can be re-used immediately after passing a visual inspection. Taut wire fall arrest systems need to be completely replaced.
The tapered edge design of the tracks achieve very free running movement and eliminate snag effect.
Its modular design means that the system can be easily moved, added to and changed after installation.
The system offers solutions that enable operators to pass each other without detaching themselves from the system.
No length limits to the distance of the system.
