SPANCO Rigid Lifelines Workstation Bridge Fall Protection systems are optimally designed for use in larger maintenance applications such as aircraft hangers, aircraft production facilities, transportation vehicle maintenance facilities, and industrial applications. These systems can be mounted to the ceiling by attaching to a building’s existing supports, or they can be bolted to the floor utilizing a freestanding support column and header design. These systems provide 100% fall protection coverage due to their dual axis movement.
Features

SPANCO Rigid Lifelines Workstation Bridge Fall Protection systems completely eliminate swing falls, something that other manufacturers can’t provide. They offer fall protection versatility and are typically used in aviation hangar and transportation vehicle maintenance applications, but may also be a perfect fit for certain industrial applications:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Our systems are designed for worker up to 400lbs when used with 900 MAF energy absorbing lanyards.
Ceiling Mounted Workstation Bridge Fall Protection System
- Allows you to use your existing support structure, providing it is strong enough to hold the system.
- Can easily protect workers at heights up to ceiling level.
- By using existing support steel, ceiling mounted systems can support long runs with unlimited runway length.
- These systems are unique to the industry in that they provide 100% fall protection coverage in aircraft hangars, something not possible with wire rope or I-beam systems.
- Why go through the hassle of configuring a fall protection system to the positioning of your aircraft? Because our workstation bridge system provides 100% hangar coverage, they perfectly accommodate aircraft hangars that house a variety of aircraft with varying wing heights, and changing positions.
- In the event of a fall, the SPANCO Rigid Lifelines Workstation Bridge systems take away the swing fall, or excessive swinging, an event that can occur during a fall and result in costly damage to the side of a plane.
- Designed with SPANCO Rigid Lifelines ergonomic enclosed track and steel or aluminum bridges on runways.
Freestanding Workstation Bridge Fall Protection System
- Provides fall protection in areas when your structural building support is inadequate for an overhead ceiling mounted system.
- Perfect fall protection solution for industrial applications where large facility cranes must operate overhead
- System is easily repositioned when work flow or plant layout changes
- Provides total fall protection coverage area directly under the workstation bridge and runways
- Requires anchoring to concrete foundation
Options
- System can utilize more than one bridge accommodating more workers and allowing them to move independently of one another.
- Flush mounted hangers to minimize headroom needed.
- Ceiling mounted systems can be flush mounted parallel or cross mounted with support steel, or with any length drop rods. Drop rods do require sway bracing supplied by others. Optional sloped hangers with drop rods to accommodate slopes up to 14° maximum. Sway bracing by others is required.
