FINISH & USE

  • Aluminum: Aluminum removable extension post, 54 inch (4′-6″)
  • Stainless Steel: Stainless Steel removable extension post, 42″ (3′-10″)
  • The rigid track extension must be fully deployed so that user can safely access the ladder or roof.
  • Meets or exceeds ANSI Z359.16, OSHA 1910.29(i)

OPERATION:

  •  When the extension is installed on rigid track at the top of ladder that accesses a landing or platform, the extension should be extended a minimum of 3.5’ to a maximum of 4.5’ above the platform floor. This allows the climber to step unto the platform while still attached to the safety rail. This applies to both center and side mounted rail systems.
  • The user would climb up the ladder and rail system. Upon reaching the hatch cover, they would open the hatch. The removable extension is then inserted into the fixed rail and extends upwards through the hatch. The climber continues up the system until they reach the platform. The extension can be kept/stored below or above the hatch. Some type of tether should hold to the extension to keep it from dropping.
  • An End Stop, one included with each system, must be placed at the end of the extension post.
