Rail systems are arguably one of the most flexible and useful fall protection systems. With a range of abseil and fall-arrest applications, rail systems often offer flexible installation options that include surface-mounted, side-mounted and overhead.

Most rail systems allow multiple users, making them extremely productive and efficient when completing work. They are also extremely useful in rescue situations.

A key benefit in the rail vs cable system decision is that rail systems often have even load distribution, which ensures that even if one user falls, the integrity of the system will not be compromised.
