Rail safety system

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.

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.

TAURUS-HORIZONTAL - Technical data

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.

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.
