Access Rail System – R32

1a Purpose

Human suspension (rope access) - The rail and dual trolley system is designed for human suspension (rope

access) as an adjustable anchorage point for external access to facilitate external maintenance. 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.

1. Fall arrest trolley

Used with full-body safety

2. Working Trolley

Used for suspension with

working harness or chair

Pinstop Permanent

coupler Stainless steel

shackle

Rail

Fall restraint - Rail plus a single trolley is designed for use as a

mobile anchor point for fall restraint.

Fall arrest - Rail plus a single trolley is also used for fall arrest.

Fall arrest requires a shock-absorbing lanyard so falling force is

reduced.

1 - APPLICATIONS

Access Rail System – R32

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 Limitations

Capacity - 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 three (3) 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.

Maximum

2 m (6.5')

INCORRECT

CORRECT

Fall arrest clearance - There must be sufficient

clearance below the user to arrest a fall before the user

strikes the ground or other obstruction. Height of user,

plus extended safety lanyard length, must not be more

than the height from rail to ground minus 2 m (6.5').

15°

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. Rope access operators using this equipment must be trained

to a least Irata level 1 or SPRAT level 1 equivalent.

1d Load angle limitations - Rail must be installed between 0° and 5°

of horizontal. See below. Rail can be mounted at various angles on

the horizontal mounting structure. Harken IN10448, IN150, and IN151

trolleys have the ability to handle loading at an angle up to 15° beyond

vertical. Loads beyond 15° from vertical will overload trolley. See

cause the system to fail which can cause a fall which could result in severe injury or death.

2a Dual trolley assembly description

2 - SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Access Rail System – R32

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 into which rail is

fixed follows controlling work at height regulations for country of use, and that it is 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 - UNKNOWN STRUCTURE

Access Rail System – R32

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 done 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 done in place, then 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:

- Insert the trolley in the rail and achieve a load of 1200 kg (2654 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, removing from service - Purchase a separate trolley and rail for proof testing. After testing

carefully remove rail without causing damage to the structure and anchors. If structure is damaged or test has

failed, consult with engineer/surveyor or Harken to determine how to remedy the situation.

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 12kN (1200 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. After proof testing at this load,

destroy trolley and rail. Do not use for service or clearly label as "not fit for use". If the samples tested pass, the

rest of the anchor points shall be tested to 6kN (600 kgf), for 15 seconds.

If the anchor device is only used for fall protection, the device should be thoroughly examined and tested annually

to 6kN (600 kgf) for 15 seconds and torque tested per the post installation inspection procedure to follow.

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 - UNKNOWN STRUCTURE (Continued)

WARNING! Do not use trolley for human suspension after testing to 1200 kg (2654 lb). Do not use

for service. Destroy trolley or clearly label as test only, not ﬁt for use.

Access Rail System – R32

5b Rail and fastener specifications - IN10459 rail uses M10 (3/8") countersunk fasteners.

5c Fastener material - All rail listed in this manual is designed to use stainless steel fasteners with Grade A4 70

(316) or Grade A2 70 (304) specification or greater. 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.

IMPORTANT! Use an anti corrosion paste on the fastener head to prevent galvanic corrosion between fastener and

rail. Do not use for nuts on fastener.

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 four (4)

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 IN3198. The

splice link is not structural and is used only to maintain

alignment and linearity of the individual rail segments.
