Fall Arrest Systems
Protect workers at height over trucks, rail cars, equipment and elevated edges.
What it is
A fall arrest system stops a worker who falls from height and limits the forces on the body. Rigid-rail systems mount an overhead track with a trolley and self-retracting lifeline, letting the worker move along the work area while tied off with minimal free fall. Horizontal cable lifelines serve long runs and rooftops. Single-point anchors serve fixed tasks.
Systems can be ceiling mounted, wall mounted or freestanding on their own columns where the building cannot carry the loads.
Where it fits
Fall arrest fits truck and trailer tarping and loading, rail car access, aircraft and vehicle maintenance, large equipment service and mezzanine and platform edges. It is often added with new equipment or when a safety review finds work at height without protection.
Our role
We sell and install fall arrest systems. Our team reviews the tasks and work zones, coordinates structure and anchorage requirements with your engineer and installs the rails, lifelines and anchors as a standalone safety upgrade or as part of a larger equipment project.
Because our team also handles related equipment, this scope can be packaged with neighboring systems under one point of contact. We work nationwide from our headquarters in Sioux Falls, SD. We support owners, plant managers, engineers and general contractors from first layout through ongoing service.

Frequently asked questions
What is a rigid-rail fall arrest system?
A rigid rail is an overhead track with a trolley and self-retracting lifeline. It limits free fall distance and lets workers move along the work area while tied off.
Can it mount to our building?
Sometimes. A structural review determines whether the building can carry the loads or whether a freestanding system is needed.
How many workers can use a system?
Rails and lifelines are designed for a set number of users. We size the system for your crew and tasks.
Do you supply harnesses?
We focus on the engineered anchorage, rail and lifeline systems and coordinate personal equipment needs with your safety team.
