Setting Corner Parts; Supplementary Rules For Installing Rails For Suspended Works; Placing The Sign Plate; Lifespan, Commissioning, Annual Inspections And Maintenance - Tractel travrail Manual De Instalación, Utilización Y Mantenimiento

It is highly recommended to use the Tractel
guarantee the accuracy and the diameters of the holes
for the countersunk head socket screws M8 (see Fig. 18).

6.7. Setting corner parts

On both sides of the corner parts, there shall be two
brackets, one at 650 mm maximum of the corner end
and a second one in the limit of 6 m (according to
Fig. 19):
Depending on the configuration, some corners need to
be installed on a frame. In such a case, the assembly
requires a reinforcing bar (see Fig. 20). It shall be
considered as a structural support.
6.8. Supplementary rules for installing
rails for suspended works
IMPORTANT: In order that the rail keeps a
sufficient stiffness when being used in suspension,
supports shall be put every 3 m maximum. In order to
allow well-functioning of the suspension slider, rail shall
be set on a wall.
DANGER: The slider for suspended works is not
a fall arrest device, it must be used with a fall arrester
slider.
A pressure button is available on the rail in order to
block the slider moving for an easier work of the rope
technicians.
