FALL PROTECTION

G.W. Becker, Inc. is your provider for personal fall arrest systems.

A personal fall arrest system is one option of protection that OSHA requires for workers in general industry who are exposed to vertical drops of 4 feet or more.  A fall arrest system is an active means of protecting workers from falls in elevated environments. When using fall arrest systems, one of the most critical considerations is choosing a safe anchor point that offers total protection when used with full body harnesses and self-retracting lifelines (SRL).

Gorbel Tether Track™ Rigid Rail Fall Arrest Systems provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for reducing the risk of injury in elevated work environments. Available in various configurations, including multiple track profiles and support center distances, fall protection can be easily customized to fit every budget and application. All systems are designed by qualified engineers to meet the OSHA 1926 Subpart M construction standard, as well as the ANSI Z359 Fall Protection code. 

Gorbel – Bridge Fall Protection Systems

CEILING MOUNTED SYSTEMS use the structure for support, as the rail is mounted either perpendicular or parallel to the ceiling beams. Should overhead obstacles be present, drop rod hangers with sway bracing can be supplied so that the system avoids these obstructions.

FREE STANDING SYSTEMS may be preferred whenever floor space is readily available to install column supports, when changes in work practices are anticipated, and when a building structure isn’t available. The flexibility of free standing systems allows them to be easily modified and moved should processes or fall protection needs change.

Multiple bridges can be supplied for both ceiling mounted and free standing systems, thus allowing multiple workers to utilize the system simultaneously.

Gorbel – Free Standing Monorail Fall Protection Systems

Free Standing Monorail Fall Protection Systems are available in heights up to 26 feet to effectively protect workers maintaining, inspecting, or loading/unloading railcars, tankers or flatbed trucks.

 

  • Standard heights from 16’ to 26’ make system ideal for applications such as rail car or flatbed loading and unloading
  • Standard lengths up to 204’; Single and Dual Track Styles

Gorbel – Ceiling Mounted Monorail Fall Protection System

When floor space is at a premium, ceiling mounted monorails can provide unparalleled fall protection while maintaining an open floor plan for material handling, production, or related activities. Ceiling mounted monorails use existing support steel for overall anchorage strength, and are ideal for production facilities and warehouses with tall ceilings since column support is not needed. Even if the facility has standard ceiling heights, the compact, low-profile design of ceiling mounted monorails provides full protection without headroom concerns.

Gorbel – Fold-Away Fall Arrest System

The concept of a Fold-Away Fall Arrest System is simple: Deploy it when you need it, and fold it back when you’re done, maintaining productivity without compromising safety. The Tether Track™ Fold Away Fall Arrest System is the perfect solution for work cells requiring access to overhead cranes, when valuable floor space is limited, or when infrequent fall protection is necessary.

Gorbel – Swing Arm Fall Arrest System

The Tether Track™ Swing Arm Fall Arrest System from Gorbel provides circular or semi-circular fall protection with a compact footprint. Versatile and infinitely variable, simply position the swing arm over the work space and swing it out of the way when not in use.

Gorbel – Single Pole Fall Protection System

When numerous obstacles exist in the work space and standard multiple-column systems are not practical, single pole fall protection systems provide a convenient alternative. Used regularly in tank car servicing or heavy-duty truck securing and tarping areas, single pole systems require only a single foundation. Standard span lengths from 10′ to 53′ mean the system can be designed to meet the requirements of most loading/unloading and maintenance facilities.

 

Gorbel – Ranger Mobile Anchor

The Ranger Mobile Anchor represents complete flexibility in fall arrest anchors.

The design allows for quick attachment to forklift truck, or related towing devices and unit may be maneuvered so that the anchorage point is directly above the user as work is performed. Used in conjunction with a full body harness and retractable lanyard, the Ranger Mobile Anchor provides a complete fall arrest
