HORIZONTAL RAIL LIFELINES
The CONEKT horizontal rail lifeline is an overhead access system for facade maintenance and cleaning.
Depending on the configuration, a rope access specialist or a cradle fitted with a Ropeclimber hoist can be suspended from the rail. The rail allows movement over the area by means of a mobile anchor point.
The system is ATEX-certified for potentially explosive environments. Rail lifelines are suitable for the following applications:
- NAV2 mobile fall-arrest anchor point;
- AV7 trolley for suspended work;
- NAV4 horizontal motorized trolley;
- Trolley manually operated by a rope and pulley.;
- AISI304 stainless steel track roller.
This system is the most efficient in terms of operating costs. As an option, the system can be painted to match the building’s architectural design.
ADVANTAGES OF CONEKT CABLE LIFELINES
- Rigid, continuous, and stable support throughout the entire length of the lifeline
- Anodized aluminum type OAD** Easy to clean: water + soap
- 2 rail types: standard and XL Each is available in 3 m and 6 m lengths
- The arresting load is dispersed in the event of a fall
- Controlled deflection: in the worst-case scenario, max. deflection of 50 cm for standard rail / max. deflection of 17 cm for XL rail => Lifeline rail can be installed at low heights
