TAURUS rail safety system

The strong and adaptable rail system

The system, made of aluminium rails, for securing persons in fall-risk areas, can be attached to various building components, regardless of the structure of the building.

Because of the system’s adaptability, in addition to straight runs, curves, inclines, and tilts present no problems. It therefore provides safety where it is needed. Because of the certified testing of very different types of areas of application (horizontal, vertical, all-round), it is suitable for installation on a wide range of substructures.

BENEFITS

Rail can be adapted perfectly to the constructional conditions
High-quality rail design in a wide selection of colour styles
Individual fabrication of rail runs onsite also possible using the TAURUS-BEND-10 (rail bending device)
The perfect choice for the rope access method

Rail-based fall protection system

The flexible rail system TAURUS made by INNOTECH® is the ideal solution for securing users in fall-risk areas between mobile anchor points or guided-type fall arresters.

The individual modules, such as rail connectors and end units, are easy to install. Optional curve and bend elements can be used to adapt the fall protection system to complex constructional conditions. Moreover, the TAURUS rail system is also the perfect choice for the rope access method. This method allows users to position themselves at hard-to-reach points of a building using ropes and the corresponding safety system, in order to perform servicing, installation, or cleaning tasks.

The perfect choice for the rope access method

The rope access method has proven its merits for installation and cleaning tasks in hard-to-reach areas. The TAURUS rail system is the perfect match for this method.

Strong system for the most diverse applications
The design of the TAURUS rail system allows a wide fastening distance on a large number of substructures. The various slider types with ball bearings (horizontal, vertical, and Allround sliders) run smoothly and reliably. When combined with a matching rail slider serving as a variable anchor point along the length of the rail, the TAURUS rail system is also suitable for abseiling tasks.

Flexible and adjustable
Whether straight or complex: Even complex structures on buildings can be accommodated by the TAURUS rail system, thanks to its flexibility. Multiple adjustment options in terms of colour styles and rail runs (the latter can be fabricated directly on site using a bending device) make the TAURUS the quintessential safety system.

BENEFITS

Rail can be adapted perfectly to the constructional conditions
High-quality rail design in a wide selection of colour styles
Option also to fabricate customised rail runs directly on site (INNOTECH TAURUS bending device)
The perfect choice for the rope access method

TAURUS-HORIZONTAL

Rail system for horizontal use

The TAURUS HORIZONTAL rail system is used wherever movements along a horizontally running pathway need to be protected from a fall risk. Regardless whether along roofs, facades, for overhead use, in industry or in connection with photovoltaic systems, it protects against falls from height, up to an inclination of 5°. A further significant benefit of the horizontal rail system is the flexibility in positioning of anchor points for the rope access method. This is an access process for activities such as installation and cleaning tasks in locations which are difficult to reach. By means of this method, users can position themselves at specific points on a building structure by using ropes and the appropriate safety system, in order to carry out the necessary tasks there.

BENEFITS

Great flexibility provided by the fastening option to a multiplicity of substructures (concrete, steel, wood, PV substructures, etc).
Reduced installation effort because of rail fastener separations up to 5 m.
Perfect mobility in the system thanks to the sliders specially developed for horizontal use (2 of them are removable).
Simplification of rope access processes thanks to the variable anchor points (sliders) along the run of rail.

New fasteners for Aerocompact, Novotegra and K2 now available

Technical product description

The TAURUS system consists of high-quality alloyed aluminium rails. This rail, in combination with the various individual components, such as the specially developed connectors (optionally also with expansion compensation), end units, entry elements, and the individually adaptable curve elements, combine to create a harmonised system. The system can be attached to a large number of substructures. It is also compatible with many INNOTECH anchor points.

TECHNICAL BENEFITS

Rope access method
With a reduced fastening distance of 1 metre maximum, the TAURUS HORIZONTAL rail system is also certified for the rope access method.

Reduction of installation effort
When used as fall protection, a fastening separation of 3 metres applies. With additional appropriate measures, fastening distances up to 5 metres can be achieved, and in financial terms this has a positive effect on the whole installation process.

Detachable sliders
The standard slider models ensure optimum mobility in the system. In addition to the standard products, a series of HO sliders suitable for the system is also available. These are sliders which can be fitted and removed at any time anywhere along the whole run of rail.

TAURUS VERTICAL

Rail system for vertical use

The TAURUS VERTICAL rail system is used wherever vertical ascents and descents require protection. Regardless whether ladder access, shelving/mast systems (with or without ladder), steel constructions with access systems, or as a means for shaft entry, it provides optimum fall protection. Using the matching TAURUS-GLEIT-V21 slider, deviations up to a maximum of 15° from the vertical can be secured without any problem. The slider’s ease of movement enables trouble-free movement during ascent and descent, and also ensures an immediate stop in the event of a fall. Here, the integrated energy absorber reduces the forces working upon the user.

BENEFITS

Broad range of applications thanks to the seamless transition from the vertical to the horizontal plane (without attachment or detachment).
Flowing movement during vertical ascent and descent, thanks to the TAURUS GLEIT-V21.
Safe shaft entry with the mobile TAURUS-SCE push-on support - enhancement with a rescue attachment for connecting a fall arrest device is also possible.
Ascent aid in the form of the TAURUS-STEP, through combining the rail with integrated ladder rungs.

Technical product description

The TAURUS system consists of high-quality alloyed aluminium rails. This rail, together with the various individual components, such as the specially developed connectors, entry elements, and the special exit and transfer solutions, combine to create a harmonised system. The system can be attached to a large number of substructures. If a ladder construction is present, then the rail system can be connected to it directly. It is also compatible with many INNOTECH anchor points.

TECHNICAL BENEFITS

Reduction of installation effort
For installation, the maximum fastening separation of 2 metres along a ladder has a positive effect on the whole installation process. When connecting the system to a ladder (up to a maximum rung dimension of Ø 45 mm), a clamping solution is used for fastening, and therefore laborious drilling and damage to the ladder is unnecessary.

Reduction of fall force
The TAURUS-GLEIT-V21 has an integrated energy absorber which reduces the force acting on the user to 6 kN max.

Ascent aid
By means of our TAURUS-STEP components with integrated ladder rungs, the TAURUS-RAIL system be used as an ascent aid.
