Fall Protection Challenge<\/h3><\/div>
Users, who work on top of tanker, hopper grain, and gondola railcars, are often outdoors with no overhead structure. External factors like wind and rain further compound the fall hazard faced by these workers. With no overhead structure to anchor a fall protection system and a busy loading or work area an experienced partner in fall protection is a must.<\/div> <\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1482169159608{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”]

FREESTANDING ANCHORS<\/h3>\n

CAI\u2019s freestanding fall protection system is supported from concrete piers. This engineered approach gives you the option of having an outdoor fall arrest system that supports your Railcar loading needs.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1539366221648{padding-bottom: 2.8em !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”8071″ img_size=”120×120″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”bottom-to-top”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

CURVED RAIL TRACK<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If your railcars are serviced over a curved track we have a solution. Our fall protection system can be configured to offer strategically placed anchors around your railcar track allowing us to match the fall arrest cable horizontal lifeline system with the radius of your track.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1539366234777{padding-bottom: 2.8em !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”8069″ img_size=”120×120″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”bottom-to-top”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

HORIZONTAL LIFELINE SYSTEM ABOVE\u00a0YOUR RAILCAR<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Once on top of the Railcar the user is able to walk uninterrupted the length of the horizontal lifeline or crouch down with no restriction on movement. Pass-through features on cable systems means you only tie-off once and then walk the full span of the horizontal lifeline.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”8072″ img_size=”120×120″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”bottom-to-top”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

ANCHOR SYSTEM FOR DUAL RAILCAR TRACKS<\/span><\/h3>\n

Our “T Anchor” design allows for the placement of the fall protection system between the rail tracks thus having the capability of two fall protection systems with a common anchor system.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1482169159608{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1539366216305{padding-bottom: 2.8em !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”8075″ img_size=”120×120″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”bottom-to-top”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

RAILCAR CLEARANCE<\/h3>\n

EASY TO INSTALL<\/h3>\n

To reduce field assembly time, our fall protection products are shipped fabricated with detailed assembly instructions. Assembly comprises of steel erection with bolting and clamping of the major components.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1539366240199{padding-bottom: 2.8em !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”8074″ img_size=”120×120″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”bottom-to-top”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

OSHA &\u00a0ANSI COMPLIANT<\/h3>\n

We have an in-house team to engineer and manufacture the freestanding fall arrest system. This means we can monitor the QA and QC throughout the process to make sure the product delivered to your doorstep is safe and meets your specification needs.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”8075″ img_size=”120×120″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”bottom-to-top”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

CANTILEVER SYSTEM FOR DUAL TRACKS<\/h3>\n

Often the need to service railcars on two parallel tracks creates a dilemma if there is no space to place the anchor between tracks. CAI has developed a solution by placing this anchor on the outside of one track AND then cantilevering over both tracks thereby providing a means for suspending an anchor point or horizontal lifeline over each railcar track.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1553539867731{padding-top: 22px !important;}”][vc_column]
