New Söll GlideLoc® Height Access & Safe-Climbing Systems Offer Increased Climbing Safety and Greater Flexibility
Smithfield, R.I. – (September 8, 2003) – Developed by Söll Americas, the world leader in height access safety systems, new Söll GlideLoc Safe-Climbing Ladder Systems are engineered for structures requiring height access, or available in retrofit kits for existing ladders. The GlideLoc systems are ideal for buildings, towers, masts and other structures.
In contrast to rope or cable systems, GlideLoc systems minimize safety hazards by providing vertical climbing and horizontal access without disconnecting / reconnecting to the safety rail – increasing safety and improving user comfort.
With enhanced safety features, the patented Söll Comfort Fall Arrestor connects the worker’s full-body harness to the guide rail ensuring complete safety whether descending or ascending. The fall arrest shuttle glides smoothly along the rail with hands-free operation for greater productivity. In the event of a fall, the Comfort fall arrestor instantly locks onto the rail.
To increase worker mobility, the GlideLoc design is the only system engineered that enables users to lean forward or backward during descent or ascent – making it ideal for closed-cage environments.
The experienced team of Söll engineers is available to assist in the selection of a system and accessories to fit your needs. An extensive selection of entry and exit devices, roof ascent or shaft entry equipment make it possible to design a system that is appropriate for the unique structure of the building or installation, while meeting the highest safety requirements. In addition, a variety of mounting brackets to attach to existing structures are available.
With minimal maintenance, permanently-installed Söll GlideLoc Safe Climbing Ladder Systems do not require annual inspection and meet all global industry standards.
