GORBEL FALL PROTECTION

We are proud to offer the Gorbel Tether Track™ Fall Protection Systems utilizing rigid rail for fall arrest applications.

A Fall Arrest System is an active means of protecting workers from injury due to falls. A complete personal fall arrest system includes an anchor, a body harness and a connector such as a shock-absorbing fall arrest lanyard or self-retracting lanyard (SRL).

Unlike wire rope systems, Gorbel Tether Track™ Fall Arrest systems deliver shorter free fall distances, reduced risk of secondary fall injuries and an uninterrupted experience for a second worker in the event of a fall.

Using a Gorbel Tether Track™ Rigid Rail Fall Arrest System as your anchor provides workers with a high degree of mobility and freedom, while preventing falls to lower levels. Gorbel Tether Track™ Rigid Rail Fall Arrest Systems provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for reducing the risk of injury in elevated work environments. Available in various configurations, including multiple track profiles and support center distances, fall protection can be easily customized to fit every budget and application, and are designed by qualified engineers to meet OSHA standards.
