Horizontal Lifelines

Gemtor Horizontal Lifeline Systems are engineered to provide a temporary OSHA-compliant anchorage point when no overhead anchorage exists or when a worker needs the ability to move across a horizontal surface while tied off. When used in conjunction with an approved full-body harness and lanyard, the complete system has the ability to arrest a worker’s fall and limit the forces transmitted to the worker and the system’s anchor points. Many system configurations are available to accommodate work site and environmental conditions.


Temporary Horizontal Lifeline System w/Stanchions *Single and Multi-Span*

HL3 Series - Horizontal Lifeline System Gemtor’s single/multi span horizontal lifeline system is the perfect choice for worker safety during bridge and building construction. Designed for quick and easy mounting to structural I Beams, this complete kit includes everything you need to protect your workers while performing their tasks at heights. Each two (2) stanchion system can be used on a span of up to 60 feet. Intermediate stanchions and Add-On systems can be deployed to create a system of unlimited length. Large mounting bolts that provide more surface area contact are located on the top side of the stanchion base make attachment to a beam safer and easier than competitive systems. The stanchions feature an adjustable U shaped clamp and safety chain system that wraps around the opposite top flange of the beam providing additional security. The chain is attached to a bolt that has a long handled nut for ease of tightening. The stanchions are extremely strong yet lightweight. They attach to the beam in a manner that minimally impacts the space required for the body of a worker to pass by. Click here to view flyer
