Temporary guardrails are usually constructed of wood, steel, or wire rope with netting.

Each of these materials have limitations:

• Wood guardrails are costly to build and the lumber is scrapped at the end of the job.
• Steel guardrails are heavy and require ample storage space.
• Wire rope guardrails are often slack, which allows the top rail wire to deflect below the OSHA minimum height of 39".

The critical difference between StrapRail and other guardrails is that an installed StrapRail system is under continuous self test: considerable tension is maintained on the straps and anchors at all times.  This fully tensioned state proves that the anchors have been correctly installed and that the railing is safe for use.

No other temporary guardrail system offers this self test benefit.   Furthermore, wood, steel, or wire rope railings are not usually tested after installation: workers & safety officers do not deliberately lean on these barriers since they suspect the guardrail could fail.

StrapRail^® meets the need for a guardrail system that is fully engineered, lightweight, transportable, and reusable for many years.

The system can be easily shipped anywhere in the world since the packaged product is very compact.
