A fall protection concept for the highest safety requirements

 

The GlideLoc® Safe Climbing system includes fall protection ladders, glide rails and guided type fall arresters. System accessories such as entry and exit devices, roof ascent or shaft entry equipment make it possible to design a system that is not only appropriate for the structure of the building or installation, but which also satisfies the very highest safety requirements.

 

Enhanced Safety

 

A safe climbing system needs to meet stringent safety standards and withstand constant wear and tear.

• In contrast to cable systems, Söll’s guide rails allow a combination of vertical and horizontal access without having to disconnect and reconnect.
• Söll’s rail systems permit safe roof and platform access, whereas cable based systems often end at the last rung so that the stresses are concentrated on the fixing point. Söll’s GlideLoc® systems conform to EN353-1.

Versatility

 

We cannot expect the structures that we climb to be two dimensional.

• GlideLoc® rails and ladders are available in both straight and curved form in a variety of materials and can be retrofitted to existing fixed ladders.
• A wide range of components allow the systems to be engineered to suit a wide variety of applications.

Economic

 

Fixed systems offer a long term economical investment.

• Unlike most cable based systems, they are not subject to any annual inspection and need only be checked after a fall. They can withstand the toughest of environmental conditions.

User Comfort and Ergonomics

 

Easy to use, the GlidLoc® system offers a safe working environment

• The only system where the user can lean forward or backwards whilst ascending and descending and is therefore adapted to closed cage environment.
• The fall arrest shuttle glides smoothly along the rail without manual guidance and allows hands-free operation for greater productivity.
