Versatile Overhead Lifeline Systems for Continuous, Cost-Effective Fall Protection

Overhead lifeline systems provide a dependable, cost-effective solution for fall protection. Single-span setups cover up to 100 feet for multiple users, while multi-span designs support continuous movement along horizontal, vertical, or curved paths. Built for safety and performance, these systems ensure reliable protection in complex environments.

Multi-User Access

Overhead lifeline systems support up to 180 feet of uninterrupted coverage, allow 1 to 3 users to work simultaneously, and feature pass-through brackets that maintain 100% tie-off for continuous safety along extended work areas.

Versatile

With flexible mounting options and the ability to navigate around obstacles and unique layouts, our overhead lifelines are engineered for maximum versatility in challenging workspaces.

Durable

Engineered with Grade 316 stainless steel cable and weather-resistant components, our overhead lifeline systems deliver long-term durability in the toughest environments.

Compliant

Rigorously tested by independent third parties and fully OSHA-compliant, these systems are built to perform safely and reliably—year after year.

Applications

Aircraft Overhead Lifeline

With unmatched adaptability, these systems are ideal for aviation environments, offering safe access across varied aircraft sizes and complex hangar layouts. Their flexible design ensures reliable fall protection without limiting mobility.

Railcar/Truck Overhead Lifelines

Flexible and reliable, these systems provide continuous tie off across long spans, keeping workers safe around trucks and railcars without restricting movement. Ideal for maintenance, loading, and inspection areas in the transportation industry.

Industrial Overhead Lifelines

In industrial settings where guardrails or other passive fall protection solutions aren’t feasible, overhead horizontal lifelines serve as a reliable alternative for fall arrest. These systems are frequently deployed to deliver continuous, overhead protection in areas where workers are exposed to heights above 14 feet. Known for their strength, simplicity, and cost efficiency, overhead lifelines are ideal for a range of applications including pipe racks, crane rails, tank access, rooftops, railcar and truck operations, and general plant maintenance.

Seamless Fall Protection Across Long Spans

Overhead Horizontal lifeline systems offer continuous fall protection across spans up to 200 feet, allowing workers to move freely along elevated work areas without the need to stop and reconnect. This seamless coverage enhances both safety and productivity near fall hazards.

Compliance Assured

Our overhead lifeline systems are designed to meet strict safety regulations and performance standards. Each system is engineered for compliance, ensuring reliable fall protection that aligns with both OSHA and ANSI requirements.

Compliance Standards:

OSHA Code 1910.140(c)(11-22)
ANSI Z359
