Kattsafe Rigid Stealth Rail System

Traditional rail systems, often bulky and visually-intrusive, fail to meet technical specifications, complicating installation and maintenance. Issues include metal swarf accumulation from drilling, hazardous material collection in vertically-mounted rails, user-attachment trolleys that must be installed along with the rail, and non-conformity to building contours due to large bend radii. The challenge focused on developing a rail system that integrated with architectural aesthetics whilst addressing critical safety and functionality concerns. The objective was to create a permanent, easy-to-install solution that eliminated hazardous conditions, accommodated for a removable-trolley that was deployable anywhere along the rail, and ensured optimal safety for height-access tasks.

The innovative rail system, featuring a bespoke rail and couplings with advanced trolleys, marks a leap in safety and design. Designed for seamless installation, it avoids drilling and metal contamination. Its sleek profile aligns with architectural aesthetics, while its void-free structure prevents hazardous build-ups. The system’s tight bends adhere to building contours, ensuring visual consistency. Equipped with permanent and removable fail-safe trolleys, it guarantees technician safety. This system not only meets stringent safety standards but also addresses the dual demands of functionality and form.

The Stealth rail system has revolutionised worker safety at heights, drastically reducing fall risks and ensuring safe returns home. This innovative solution has simplified and enhanced safety protocols for operators. It has also expanded Kattsafe’s reach into two new markets: aesthetically-focused architectural projects and hazardous environments where its unique design prevents dangerous material buildup. The system’s patent safeguards Kattsafe’s brand, while its complex design and thorough testing exemplify outstanding design achievement.

Stealth System: - Ensures safety for height access maintenance in a compact system designed to suit any building or structure. - Tailored for highly trained staff. - Supports multiple-person working loads. - Withstands ultimate shock loading of 24KN from all directions. - Meets or exceeds AS/NZS 1891.2 & AS/NZS 1891.4 Trolley Units: - Offers two types: permanent and removable trolley units. - Removable trolley units allow the trolley to be removed from or attached at any point along the rail, reducing the number of - permanent attachment points required per building. - Features a failsafe system; the user can not detach the removable trolley while the carabiner is still attached. - Includes a manual brake for enhanced safety. Rail System Components: - Able to be installed under eaves, on roofs or alongside buildings. - Designed for colour matching with the building’s facade. - Rail extrusion is void-free, preventing the accumulation of external materials. - Allows for navigation around tight corners. - Mounting brackets and rail joiners clamp onto the rail eliminating the need for external drilling preventing swarf buildup on roofs. - Multiple mounting bracket styles support varying mounting restrictions
