Typical Installations

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."

As the system continues through the shed, it becomes an S6 Trolley Beam System supported by the existing shed support steel. The last span of uninterrupted coverage on the other side of the shed, measuring 110 feet long, is also Td3 which is supported by a single Vertical Support Column. Notice how the system turns to follow the curved tracks past the shed.
