OVERHEAD RAIL ABSEIL AND FALL ARREST SYSTEM
FOR MULTIPLE USERS
Raptor Rail is the new safety rail for abseil and fall prevention. It has been researched, developed and proven by the Sayfa Group in Australia.Using Raptor Rail is twice as fast because operatives can move sideways along the rail without the need to reconnect to other abseil points. That means safer working due to less physical exertion. The system will also cut cleaning and maintenance costs.
Raptor Rail is ideal for internal window cleaning of shopping malls and atriums, external cleaning of tall buildings, and maintenance of warehouses and hangars, inside and out.
The rail is typically provided in 3m, 4m and 6m sections with curves and corner sections to cope with most architectural features. There is no practical limit to the length of rail that can be built. Compared to conventional abseil points, Raptor Rail will more than halve the time window cleaning takes, and operatives become less tired, making working at height safer.
• Uninterrupted, smooth functionality using proprietary sealed bearing trolley system
• Minimal deflection of rail, giving system longevity due to reduced material fatigue
• Increased number of users per rail system due to rigid, engineered system
• Reduced support structure required due to load spanning capabilities
• Easily extended should additional length be required
INSTALLATIONThe lightweight rail sections incorporate fully adjustable and adaptable fixtures and fittings providing limitless installation flexibility.
• Lightweight high strength design
• Minimal componentry resulting in quicker install and reduced on-site labour
• Suits multiple support structure variations
• Option available for concealed installation
MATERIALS
• Rail – profiled hi-tensile aluminum
• Trolley – stainless steel, including 6 sealed bearings
• Mounting Brackets – profiled stainless steel and/or aluminium
• Mounting Fixings – M12 and M16 stainless steel fixings
FIXINGS (into support structure)• Steel fixing – M12 and M16
bolt or threaded stud• Concrete fixing – M12 and
M16 mechanical concrete anchor
Note: May vary depending on application
WEIGHT• 4.5kg / per linear metre of
rail section
WORKING LOAD LIMIT Single person use – 180kg per trolley (user/equipment)
• Maximum horizontal pitch for safe use – 3°
• Support structure integrity, suitability and fixing method to be assessed and determined by a competent person prior to installation
TESTINGRaptor Rail is tested to be in excess of British Safety Standards
UNINTERRUPTED, SMOOTH FUNCTIONALITY ENHANCING USER SAFETY & CONFIDENCE
“The new Raptor Rail system enables operatives to move from side to side as well as up and down covering the whole façade of the building, so general maintenance, cleaning and painting can proceed quickly and at minimum cost”.
