1a Purpose

The rail and trolley system is designed for human suspension as an adjustable anchorage point for external access to facilitate external maintenance on non-marine, built environments. The system using rail and double-trolley assembly is designed for rope access (human suspension). The double trolley assembly is designed for single person use. It consists of a fall-arrest trolley (1) joined to the working trolley (2), using a permanent coupler.

PinstopCoupler

Stainless steel shackleRail

Rail, plus single trolley is designed for use as a mobile anchor point for fall restraint.

Rail, plus single trolley is also used for fall arrest. Fall arrest requires a shock-absorbing lanyard so falling force is reduced.

1 - APPLICATIONS


PARTS

1b Standards - Access Rail systems are CE certified and independently tested under EN795.2012 Type B/D, meet ANSI Z359 and are OSHA compliant. See full list of standards in the appendix.

1c LimitationsCapacity - In normal use, no more than one person may be connected to a two-trolley assembly at one time. Typically, the combined load (including clothing, tools, etc) must not exceed 140 kg (310 lb). The Access Rail system has been tested and certified to CEN/TS 16415:2013 and proven capable of supporting up to four users per two (2) meter rail segment with fasteners at 300 mm (11.8") centers.

Test reports - Test reports available from Harken upon request.

Free fall - Personal fall-arrest systems used with this equipment must be rigged to limit the free fall to no more than 1.8 m (6').

Suspension - Personal suspension system must be rigged so that no vertical free fall is possible.

Fall clearance

INCORRECTCORRECT

Fall clearance - There must be sufficient clearance below the user to arrest a fall before the user strikes the ground or other obstruction. See appropriate documentation published by regulatory authority.

1d Load angle limitations: IN9606, IN9565, and IN9608 Trolleys - Rail must run within 5° of horizontal, but can be mounted at various angles on the horizontal mounting structure. Harken IN9606, IN9565, and IN9608 trolleys have the ability to handle loading at an angle up to 15° beyond vertical. Loads beyond 15° from vertical will overload trolley. See image at right.

1 - APPLICATIONS (Continued)

Trolley

Mounted on angle: Trolleys with wheeled toggle face outward

Mounted in recess: trolleys with wheeled toggle for loading over an edge

1d Load angle limitations: IN10567, IN10614, and IN10615 Trolleys - Trolleys with wheeled toggles are designed to run along a surface, mounted so that the toggle overhangs the edge. Ensure that the whole wheel width is in good contact with the surface to which the rail is attached. Ensure that the surface is strong enough to sustain the expected working load and wear.

1 - APPLICATIONS (Continued)

1e Training - The user must have appropriate training in order to use this product. It is the responsibility of the purchaser, installer, and user of this equipment to assure that they are familiar with these instructions, trained in the correct care and use of the equipment, and are aware of the operating characteristics, application limits, and the consequences of improper use of the equipment. Operators using this equipment must have a minimum training level of: IRATA level 1, SPRAT level 1, or equivalent Work at Height competence, as specified by the local regulating authority.

2 - SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

1 2 3


PARTS

3a Drawings by architect - Consider all factors that will affect safety during use of this equipment. Rail must be laid out and positioned strictly in accordance with drawings and specifications supplied by the project authorized architect or other suitably qualified person. System must meet controlling work at height regulations for country of use.

3b Base materials - Installer shall ensure suitability of base materials and structural materials to which rail is fixed, follows controlling work at height regulations for country of use, and ensures base and structural materials are capable of sustaining a proof test force as detailed in section 4 below.

3c Resources - See list of standards in Appendix A. Consult with Work at Height regulations for country of use.

3d Avoiding sharp edges - Avoid attaching system components where suspension and/or fall arrest rope may come in contact with, or abrade against, unprotected sharp edges.

The following is the good faith interpretation by Harken of the standards that we understand are the current methods that will meet the many test procedures to assure a safely installed Harken Access Rail system.

Harken is not responsible for any future changes, alternate interpretations, or other requirements imposed by inspection officials. Harken does not accept any responsibility for the consequences of failed installations, including but not limited to personal injuries, costs or any related damages, or from failed alternative installation methods.

The Harken Access Rail system is fully tested and certified as a fall arrest anchor device. However, we have had a number of requests to approve alternative methods of fastening due to different construction and building techniques.

Regrettably, it is simply not possible for us to approve all these alternatives without detailed engineering, testing, and surveying of every individual case.

Therefore, the purpose of this guidance is to illustrate how alternative methods of attachment can be considered by the installer as suitable.

To be 100% explicit, this guidance pertains to the installation of the product and has nothing to do with the product itself.

Any safety equipment or lifting device must have its installation inspected and surveyed as per standard industry practice. Likewise, periodic inspection is necessary to ensure nothing has deteriorated due to age, wear, or corrosion. There are well-established systems and protocols in place to ensure this is done. This is nothing special or unique to the Harken Access Rail system.

The installer carries the full responsibility for a proper and safe installation that is tested to meet all relevant standards. Normally this would be verified by an independent safety engineer/surveyor.

3 - REQUIREMENTS FOR PLANNING INSTALLATION

4 - PROOF TESTING


4a Test objective - The test objective is for the installer to prove their individual installation methodology for each type of base material/fastener type, or where working with unknown factors.

4b Approving authority - The engineer/surveyor will have to approve the individual test regime and be satisfied it was done correctly. In practice this normally means overseeing the test.

4c New build representative testing - For new builds or for identical constructions, the proof test can be performed on representative sample pieces. These should be long enough to hold a pair of trolleys and end stops in normal configuration.

4d Retrofit full testing - In the case of retrofits where the construction is not necessarily known (due to modifications, corrosion or aging), the proof testing is done in situ.

4e Testing rail high-risk locations - If performed in place, we recommend testing the highest risk locations such as where personnel gain access to the system, or at the ends of the rails.

4f Testing procedure - Subject to engineer/surveyor approval, the proof test procedure is:

- Load the trolley on the rail and achieve a load of 15kN (3372 lb)

- Hold for three (3) minutes without deformation, paying attention to system stability

- Remove the load and repeat the same in two (2) other locations (or sample pieces)

- The system should remain functional

Note: This is a static test. There is no drop load. The trolley is not expected to move under these conditions.

4g After testing, ball bearing replacement - It is good installation practice to replace all balls in the trolley assembly after testing. See ball loading instructions in 6g. Visually inspect the balls after testing and replace as required.

The following Code of Practice details the maintenance and testing regime of anchor devices for fall protection. It recommends an initial sample proof test of 15kN (3372 kgf) for three (3) minutes if the installation is into a base material that the installer has no information on, or has never installed into before. If the samples tested pass, the rest of the anchor points shall be tested to 6kN (600 kgf) for 15 seconds.

Refer to local codes or regulations for standards that offer guidance on testing of any new or retrofit rail installation. Our interpretation in practical application is explained in 4a to 4f below.

4 - PROOF TESTING (Continued)


PARTS

5b Rail and fastener specifications - IN1643 rail uses M8 (5/16")flathead fasteners. IN1650 rail uses M8 (5/16")socket head fasteners.

5c Fastener material - All rail listed in this manual is designed to use stainless steel fasteners. Harken does not recommend using aluminum fasteners for installation. The installer is responsible for the use of non-stainless steel fasteners and could be held liable. Fasteners must be designed to meet the requirements of controlling work at height regulations for country of use.

5d Fastener spacing - Rail is supplied with mounting holes every 100 mm (3.94"). The Access Rail system has been tested and certified to EN795-2012 and CEN/TS 16415:2013 and proven capable of supporting up to two (2) users per three (3) meter rail segment with fasteners at 300 mm (11.8")centers.

5a General comments and responsibility - Installers are responsible for planning, installing and testing installation. Following are guidelines related to the assembly of Harken parts.

The fastening of the rail must be made by the installer in the manner defined by the designer (engineer enabled) who is responsible for the design of the system and the related certification. It is not possible to define a standard number and type of fasteners, as this is dependent on the material into which the rail is installed, the intended purpose, and the subsequent maximum load requirement of that purpose.

5f Horizontal rail mounting - The rail must be mounted horizontally, with a maximum angle of 5° to the horizon.

5e Joining rail segments - Fasten each rail segment in the last fastener hole near the splice link. Use the IN1649 for IN1643 track with countersunk fastener or IN1651 for IN1650 track with caphead fastener. The splice link is not structural and is used only to maintain alignment and linearity of the individual rail segments. See 5g for using O-ring as spacer tool.

5 - RAIL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES


5g Thermal expansion - It is the responsibility of the system designer (qualified engineer) to carefully evaluate the thermal expansion which will be submitted to the system, particularly with respect to the rail.

It is not possible for Harken to predict the effects of thermal expansion on rail, especially with two (2) dissimilar materials, where the material of the mounting surface and anticipated temperature the system is subjected is not known.

The system designer must analyze the relative coefficient of thermal expansion of rail and mounting material and decide on the appropriate method of mounting, sealing fasteners, and gaps between rail sections. Consult manufacturers for information regarding thermal expansion.

5h Rail length and loading trolley assembly - Leave room at the rail end to load trolley assembly. The trolley assembly is 271 mm (10 11/16") in length.

As a general rule, leave a space between the end of one rail segment and the next to allow for thermal expansion. Spacing of 3 mm (.118") is appropriate and will allow the trolley assembly to roll smoothly over the gap. Use the O-ring supplied with the IN1649 and IN1651 splice links as a spacer tool to set the gap between the rails. Be sure to follow mounting instructions for alignment and fasteners at splice links. Joints must be supported either side by a fastener 50 mm from rail end.

5 - RAIL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES (Continued)


When marking and drilling holes, use transfer punch to mark hole centers. Hold rail in alignment using spring or "C" clamps until secured.

Installers are responsible for planning, installing and testing installation. Following are guidelines specifically relating to assembly of Harken parts.

6a Rail alignment - Precise rail alignment at joints is critical for smooth-running trolleys. Use IN1649 or IN1651 splice link and round rods held in the rail groove. Use spring clamps to align rails during installation.

6b Drilling holes - Use transfer punch to mark hole centers. Hold rail in alignment, until secured, with spring or "C" clamps when marking and drilling holes. The first fastener must be 50 mm to rail end or less.

6c Threadlocking fasteners - Always use threadlocking solution or locknuts.

6d Preventing corrosion between fasteners and rail - Use an anti corrosion paste on the fastener head to prevent galvanic corrosion between fastener and rail. Do not use for nuts on fastener.

6 - RAIL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

6e Installing IN9561 endstops - To prevent trolley assemblies from rolling off rail, fasten endstops to rail ends using M8 (5/16") stainless steel fasteners. Drill and tap into the rail to mount end stop. Note hole center locations at right and plan endstop location on rail to avoid interference from the predrilled mounting or pinstop holes. Endstops must be mounted no farther than 50 mm from the last fastener fixing rail to structure.

7a Objective - This test objective is to ensure that the system has been installed correctly in practice and remains sound as it ages.

7b Rail test locations - We recommend that each rail is tested in at least three (3) locations; typically at both ends, at any rail joint, and in the middle.

7c Test description - Subject to engineer/surveyor approval, each rail should be tested upon installation:

- Insert the trolley in the rail and achieve a load of 600 kg

- Test for 15 seconds per locations

- Remove the load and repeat the same in 2 further locations

- The system should remain functional; repeat as necessary for each separate rail

7d Test intervals - Normal safety equipment operations require testing post-installation and then annual inspections each year thereafter. Follow careful inspection procedures of trolley assemblies as previously. Additionally, perform torque testing of rail fasteners on an annual basis. Use a torque wrench and test five (5) percent of the fasteners spread out across a broad location spectrum. Test to the fastener manufacturer's recommended torque specification. If torque test fails, rail should be decommissioned until the exact cause of the torque test failures are determined. Chemical anchors for fasteners must be pull tested every five (5) years. Mechanical anchors for fasteners must be pull tested every 10 years. Follow the installation pull test procedure "7c" above.

7e Test scheduling and records - Further testing and inspection of the Access Rail system should be incorporated into standard operating practices and into the EXAMINATION/REPAIR HISTORY in section 16.
