90 vertical ladder rail protects without restraining movement

The Railok 90 vertical rail offers fall protection for ladders, while allowing freedom of movement. The shuttle runs along the length of the rail allowing movement up and down without snagging. The shuttle locks onto the rail to arrest falls, but doesn’t restrict foot space on rungs. A metallic absorber also restricts fall distances and reduces force on the user. The rail is made from stainless steel or aluminum, and available with a wide range of brackets. In situations requiring a ladder where none is present, the company offers another option that uses rail components to accept ladder rungs.
