Multiple Monorails Improve Fall Protection System at Aircraft Maintenance Facility
Multiple Monorails Improve Fall Protection System at Aircraft Maintenance Facility Overview An aviation maintenance facility on the East Coast cleans and repairs aircraft inside a large hangar. The aircraft that use the facility can vary dramatically in size, so they needed a versatile system that could cover long distances and account for significant differences in work elevation. Before searching for a rigid track fall protection system, the facility used a system of cable lifelines to protect workers on top of aircraft, but this system had a few shortcomings. One of the biggest problems was caused by the supports needed to secure the cable lifeline system throughout the building. The cables needed to be supported approximately every 25 feet to prevent sagging and severe deflection. Wit
