Page 3: General
Foldaway Rigid Rail Anchor System Installation & Maintenance Instructions 1.0 General The MET-TRACK ® Rigid Rail Anchor system is a rigid horizontal enclosed rail system offering protection against falls whilst working at height. The system employs a mobile anchorage device, allowing persons to move freely and safely without the need to unhook/disconnect during work tasks. -
Page 4: Safety
We recommend that all fixings used for the installation are of a High Tensile Grade steel and wherever possible locknuts and/or star/lock washers be utilised - alternative methods may be acceptable. Refer to the Metreel's technical department. All structures being fixed to must be of adequate strength to take the loading imposed from the system. - Page 5 Foldaway Rigid Rail Anchor System Installation & Maintenance Instructions The instructions given below are offered as a guide and are not intended to supplant instructions given to personnel by their own authorities. However, we strongly recommend that the following instructions be adhered to in the interest of safety. All maintenance and repair work must be carried out by competent trained and authorised personnel familiar with the instructions for the apparatus and relevant working practices.

Page 6: Installation Of Equipment
Foldaway Rigid Rail Anchor System Installation & Maintenance Instructions 2.0 Installation of Equipment 2.1 Mechanical overview Foldaway RRAS are available in several formats. Floor Mounted Powered System Floor mounted systems comprise of a complete system including upright steelwork support posts which fix to existing reinforced concrete floor slabs. - Page 7 Foldaway Rigid Rail Anchor System Installation & Maintenance Instructions Floor or Post Mounted Manual System Floor and post mount systems can be suppled as a manual option. These can be retracted and folded back manually by pulling the operating cables. Manual systems can be supplied as linked arm or single arm.
- Page 8 Foldaway Rigid Rail Anchor System Installation & Maintenance Instructions Slew locking on manual systems All manual systems must include slew locks to secure the jib arm before the fall arrest system is used. Below details a typical locking mechanism. These are not required on powered systems as these are locked by the integral brake fitted within the drive motor.

If this is exceeded the posts must be packed using floor packing plates. These are not standard supply as it is assumed the floor is adequate. Metreel recommend a survey is carried out and these ordered before installation if required. -
Page 10: Installation Of Jib Arm
If being fitted to building steelwork this will need to be marked out and drilled in advance before the jib arms can be fixed in place. Before drilling any building steelwork Metreel recommend marking all posts using an auto leveling rotary laser marker. - Page 11 Slew drives are supplied pre-assembled by Metreel. These should be lifted and fixed to the relevant posts as indicated on the system general arrangement drawing making sure the drive arm correctly fits over the jib arm.
- Page 12 Foldaway Rigid Rail Anchor System Installation & Maintenance Instructions Slave slew drive – Powered and identical to the master drive however does not include proximity sensors. Non-driven arm – Dependent on the system being supplied not all arms will be power driven, refer to the general arrangement drawing for details.
- Page 13 Foldaway Rigid Rail Anchor System Installation & Maintenance Instructions Installation of runway sections Rail sections should be lifted up and fixed to their relevant support arm, refer to the general arrangement drawing to confirm the section positions. Start with the longest rail section which will span between the two of the jib arms, this should be lifted up and fixed using the jib arm rail brackets.
- Page 14 Foldaway Rigid Rail Anchor System Installation & Maintenance Instructions Remaining sections can be installed as the first joining the sections by using rail section joint kits as illustrated below. The splice joint is a sleeve with eight set screws fitted into the top and both sides. Slide the sleeve over the end of the first rail, then butt the second rail against the first.
- Page 15 Foldaway Rigid Rail Anchor System Installation & Maintenance Instructions Before fitting the splice joint for the MET-TRACK ® profile ends should be prepared by rounding off the sharp edges of the running flanges of the profile, see fig. 2a Fig 2a Radius Edges Top screws –...
- Page 16 Foldaway Rigid Rail Anchor System Installation & Maintenance Instructions Installation of safety chains Secondary restraint safety chains are supplied which must be installed around the jib arm and runway weldment (refer to detailed project drawings supplied with the equipment for further installation details).
- Page 17 Foldaway Rigid Rail Anchor System Installation & Maintenance Instructions Rail end stops The rail section ends must be fitted with two end stops. The ends of the track should be pre-drilled to accept stops. The rubber absorber should be slide down the track end then the bolt pushed through.
