DESCRIPTION
BOXED-FRAME RAIL FALL ARREST SYSTEM: The four and/or six leg Boxed-Frame System is a frame supported
trolley rail assembly for overhead anchorage of Capital Safety fall arrest or fall arrest restraint equipment.
Wheeled trolleys travel along rail assemblies and serve as moving anchorage points for Self-Retracting Lifelines
(SRLs) and Lanyards. The rail assemblies are supported in an overhead position by an overhead super structure.
Swiveling wheel assemblies and top-wind jacks provide portability and secure positioning.
IMPORTANT: The Boxed-Frame Rail Fall Arrest System shall only be used as supporting structure for Personal
Fall Protection Equipment. It shall not be used as supporting structure for lifting equipment.
GLIDE RAIL: The Glide Rail System (Figure 2) is the main component of the frame system. It is a rail and trolley
system for horizontal anchorage of Capital Safety personal fall arrest or fall restraint equipment. Wheeled Trolleys
travel along a Rail Assembly and serve as moving anchorage points for Self Retracting Lifeline (SRLs) or Lanyards. Rail
sections are supported from the overhead structure by Mounting Brackets comprised of various combinations of Beam
Clamps, Connector Channels, and Extensions.
