Rope Access track systems are an abseil access solution for facade maintenance, cleaning and repair that allows multiple workers safe and efficient access to the side of a building from the roof using personal suspension systems like rope access abseils.
They’re made of robust materials ensuring worker safety at height and provide maximum security, preventing falls. Of course, rope access technicians using the system must be trained professionals familiar with advanced rope access techniques for their own safety.
At Altus Safety we can design, install, maintain and compliance test your rope access rail system, giving you full peace of mind. Contact our team today if you need support with a rope access abseil track system.
There are various rope access track system options available such as motorised or manually operated trolleys, single or double suspension trolleys and parking brakes, and so much more. Each one is designed for different tasks in mind.
For example, a motorised rope access rail system might be utilised in rescue operations to allow operatives to get to where they need to be. For simple maintenance and inspection tasks which are rarely required on the facade of a building, manually operated systems might be best.
Rope access rail systems can come curved, in a variety of finishes and even concealed within the building structure to blend in with the architecture depending on your needs.
If you need support with understanding the different types of abseil track systems available to you, simply contact our team today. We’ll listen to your needs, learn a little more about your site, and then provide you with our expert advice.
Many industrial facilities, building sites, and large commercial spaces will require a rope access track system of some kind, especially when building maintenance tasks, facade access, and building inspections are required to ensure the building or site is meeting the right health and safety standards.
The proper installation of a rope access track can provide safe access for workers operating from the side of a building or in an industrial, plant access space. Safety engineering products of this kind are required when rope/abseil access is required, as they protect workers from falls.
These systems are bound by work at height regulations which mean there are clear standards that need to be met at the design and installation stages. They also require compliance testing every 6 months to ensure they are still safe to use.
Our team at Altus Safety can support with all stages of the process, so reach out if you need our expert help today.
General cleaning duties on a 6 month basis where the operatives have easy access to the roof would usually only require abseil points installing.
A complex large scale glass façade with restricted access may require a rail system incorporating a trolley equipped with twin suspension points and a small parking brake, which is applied when either descending or ascending, or when the trolleys are parked in the designated rigging point.
Unsure what you need? Our team can help.
These façade access systems must be inspected before and after every use by a trained user. They must also be inspected and tested by a suitable working at height Specialist Company a minimum of every 6 months and/or after every fall.
Our fall protection experts are trained to compliance test a full range of rope access tracks and our dedicated account managers will remind you before your next compliance test is due so you’re never behind.
Rope Access Track systems comply with the following standards:
Both of which clearly define the standards expected when designing and installing these vital safety systems.
For testing/inspection standards and frequency:
These systems must also be inspected before and after every use by a trained user to ensure that it is still in a safe condition to offer reliable support whilst in operation.
