Fall Protection Systems - Typical Installations - Fall Arrest and Safety Equipment SystemsSee some pictures of some of our typical installations here. This twin fall protection system starts as a freestanding, column mounted system, becomes a shed roof-mounted system, and then becomes a freestanding system again as the tracks begin to merge well past the far end of the shed. We call this a "Combo System."

Trolley Rail Fall Protection Systems

"Nothing else compares! Our Patented Trolley Beam System is The Safest Fall Arrest System In The World"

Nothing else compares! Our Patented Trolley Beam System is The Safest Fall Arrest System In The World
(Click to enlarge.)

Your fall protection system should stop your fall in the shortest possible distance, and our Trolley Beam Systems do just that. Imagine how dangerous a fall would be with a flexible lifeline if this man went down between these railcars! Our trolley beams typically terminate a fall in less than two feet with no secondary falls. A typical safety cable system would allow a far greater and much more dangerous fall distance of four to six feet, and would also allow dangerous bouncing (secondary falls) to occur as well.

To demonstrate a fall arrest with our Trolley Beam System, this 250 pound man intentionally stepped off the rear of the car backwards. As you can see, his fall was arrested in less than 18".To demonstrate a fall arrest with our Trolley Beam System, this 250 pound man intentionally stepped off the rear of the car backwards.

Rigid Trolley Rail Style Fall Protection Systems:
Our most popular line of equipment, these systems are widely recognized as the current standard of the industry! No other commercially available fall protection system delivers a safer fall arrest, and no other company in America installs as many systems as we do. Trolley Beams, despite being universally considered the most effective fall protection systems, were once limited to short coverage spans. The development of patented high strength integrated truss-based systems by Fall Protection Systems, Inc., has made FPS, Inc. the leading system manufacturer and installer in the U.S.A. These systems are so unique they are covered under US patent numbers 6,269,904B1 and D440,023S. Here’s why they are the most popular system in America.

Highest safety performance available
Nothing is more effective at arresting falls than our trolley beam system. Total maximum fall distances of less than two feet are common with our system! No secondary falls ("no bounces during a fall arrest") are introduced by the system! Slips and Trips are typically arrested before a worker can fall to his knees.

These systems eliminate trolley hang-ups and excessive drag on the lifeline and trolley because there are no intermediate connections. Our trolley rail systems are laser leveled, guaranteeing a level, smooth running system end to end.User Friendliness
These systems eliminate trolley hang-ups and excessive drag on the lifeline and trolley because there are no intermediate connections. Our trolley rail systems are laser leveled, guaranteeing a level, smooth running system end to end. In dangerous weather, such as high winds or icy conditions, we recommend that a worker "lock" and continue holding the lifeline, drawing it along with him while traversing a slippery vehicle, providing him with moving overhead support to hold on to while walking that will help maintain his balance.

Unlimited length and future expansion capability
Want to extend the system later? No problem. Inexpensive extensions of any length desired can be added at any time. There is no limit on the total length of this system. We have several multi-user systems in the field that exceed one thousand feet in continuous length. How would you efficiently extend a fixed length wire rope system? Depending on the manufacturer, many single span safety cable systems are limited to maximum lengths of between 120 and 150 feet.

Sole Source Responsibility
Fall Protection Systems engineers, manufactures, and installs most of our systems, eliminating costly middlemen and lowering your cost. In the unlikely situation where anything needs warranty attention, you have but one finger to point and we will respond immediately. No other company in the world installs as many systems as we do, and our experienced award-winning installation service is exceptional.

Our five year "no strings attached" full warranty is simply the best in the industry!

Durability and Reliability
Without question, Fall Protection Systems manufactures the most durable system in the industry. In fact, nothing else compares. None of our thousands of systems in the field has every needed repairs after a fall arrest! That means unnecessary downtime is eliminated for our customers, and eliminates the high expense that all safety cable customers are required to spend as required by OSHA regulations to recertify a system after a fall arrest.

Recertification After A Fall
Our trolley beam systems are so durable, recertification is not required after a fall arrest! Fall Protection Systems will ask you to visually look over your system, however, no system has ever required rework in our many years of experience. Note: The self-retracting lifeline may require recertification if the red fall indicator has appeared. Consult User Instruction Manual.

Five-Year Unlimited Warranty
Our five year "no strings attached" full warranty is simply the best in the industry! (Refer to warranty.)

Low Cost/Affordability
We proudly lead the fall protection industry in America with our exceptionally high quality products and service, user-friendly performance, and reliability...yet the cost is surprisingly low. We manufacture and install more fall protection systems each year than any other company in America. You may be quite pleasantly surprised to learn how, despite the obvious unparalleled value, our trolley beam systems are typically priced about the same as comparable safety cable systems.

Delivery, Terms and Conditions
From the time you place your order, we coordinate the installation with your people. Our Field Installation Superintendent will work with you to obtain permits and variations if necessary to clear the installation through proper channels. Once approval is attained, we typically install our systems within six to eight weeks after order placement.

Free User Training and CertificationFree User Training and Certification
Free User Training and Certification are included with your system. We provide an instructional video tape for annual recertification for your workers as required by OSHA regulations. We also provide convenient pocket-sized training manuals, and OSHA-required instructional training logs to record training dates. Each of your workers will also receive personal wallet sized "authorized user certification" cards. This package eliminates all concerns regarding OSHA compliance.

Optional Annual Inspections are offered by Fall Protection Systems Professional inspectors. They are not currently required by law.
