Rigid Rail System for a Leading Business Jet Manufacturer

Project Overview

A leading business jet manufacturer needed a safe and efficient solution for staff performing assembly, maintenance, and polishing on aircraft platforms six feet above the ground. With a large production volume of high-end business jets, the company required reliable fall protection systems across multiple facilities and projects.

The Challenge

  • Staff required safe access to elevated work areas without disrupting operations.
  • Installation schedules were fluid due to coordination with other contractors.
  • Standardized systems were needed for facilities with varying ceiling heights.
  • The solution had to support multiple personnel simultaneously while working around sensitive equipment.

The Solution

Lighthouse Safety provided a Rigid Rail system tailored to the manufacturer’s needs:

  • Mounted to the roof to maximize working space while maintaining full operational access.
  • Supports multiple personnel safely at the same time.
  • Modular design allows standardization across facilities with different ceiling heights.
  • RF technology ensures safe access on Day 1 of new equipment operations.
  • Flexible installation schedule to coordinate with other contractors and minimize downtime.

The Benefits

  • Safe Access from Day One: Staff could safely work at heights immediately using the Rigid Rail system.
  • Timely Installation: Completed within the project schedule, ensuring no delays to production.
  • Scalable & Standardized: The Rigid Rail system can be deployed across multiple facilities for consistency and safety.
  • Operational Flexibility: Installation coordinated seamlessly with other contractors while maintaining safe working conditions.
  • Ongoing Safety Partnership: The manufacturer continues to rely on Lighthouse Safety and the Rigid Rail system for innovative fall protection as facilities and equipment evolve.
