L Style and T Style Overhead Rigid Rail Systems

Trolley-style rigid rail support column fall protection systems are typically used for outdoor applications where total fall clearance is minimal. Fall arrest solutions minimize fall distance and deflection and require smaller foundations. Combined with the longer spans possible with our T3 triangular trusses, that means cost savings for you.

A rigid rail support column system can easily accommodate multiple users, making it ideal for many outdoor fall protection applications. Available in both permanent and portable configurations, rigid rail systems are ideal for truck, train, and heavy equipment maintenance, as well as loading and tarping applications.

Diversified is a complete, turnkey provider of OSHA-compliant rigid rail fall protection systems, and we have years of experience designing and installing L and T style overhead rigid rail systems for fall arrest applications. Contact DFP for expert assistance with your fall arrest, fall restraint, and fall protection requirements.

Design Considerations

A primary design consideration for L style and T style systems is the planned coverage area, or total length of the system. With proper planning, rigid rail L style and T style systems can span work areas in excess of 1,000 feet. For rigid systems designed for rail applications, specific railroad company clearances must also be considered. Rigid rail systems come in a variety of configurations, including L, T, and U. For example, a T style system provides dual coverage for two trucks or side-by-side rail spurs.

When designing a rigid rail system, soil compaction levels and frost line levels must be given special attention to ensure proper foundation design. Care must also be taken to consider total fall clearance. The system must be able to arrest a fall before a worker comes into contact with existing structures or the ground below the designated work area.
