StrapWall™ Barrier System

• Various strap & height configurations possible – ask the Superchute factory to design your site specific configuration ✓
• The StrapWall mesh screened barrier provides enhanced falling object protection ✓
• Greatly reduces the risk of having objects fall from a protected level ✓
• Greatly reduces the risk of having strong winds blow objects off a protected level ✓

• Each Strap Kit contains all the components needed for 1 rail member
• Typical system:  Usually consists of top rail, midrail, toeboard, and 1 overhead strap
• Each orange strap is 4″ wide & tensioned using its own ratchet
• The maximum possible tension applied is 2,500 lb per strap
• A structural engineer must verify the adequacy of the supporting structure prior to each installation

StrapRail^® when configured as a guardrail (with top rail, midrail, and toeboard) complies with:

• US Federal OSHA Standard 1926.502 “Fall Protection” – click here for more information
• Cal/OSHA (horizontal load of 20 pounds per lineal foot at the top rail)
• Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act, REGULATION 213/91 FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS Section 26.3(5) (point load of 150 pounds applied to every 8 feet of guardrail at the top rail equivalent to 19 lb per linear foot)
• Quebec’s CNESST Safety Code for the Construction Industry, chapter S-2.1, r.4, 3.8.2, et 3.8.3

Other guardrails:

• Temporary guardrails are usually constructed of wood, steel, or wire rope and are easily tested after installation
• Workers & safety inspectors do not intentionally apply force against these barriers since there is always a concern the guardrail could fail
• Wood guardrails are costly to build and the lumber is scrapped at the end of the job
• Steel guardrails are heavy and require a lot of storage space
• Wire rope guardrails are often slack which allows the top rail wire to deflect below the OSHA minimum height of 39″

StrapRail®

• An installed StrapRail^® System is under constant self-test with considerable and continuous tension applied to the straps & anchors
• The fully tensioned state proves the anchors have been correctly installed & that the railing is safe for use
• No other temporary guardrail system offers this self test benefit
• Workers can be confident that a fall will be arrested by a properly installed guardrail, given the incredible strength of the webbing straps (20,000 lb MBS each).
• StrapRail^® is fully engineered, lightweight & reusable for many years
• It is compact and easily transportable or shipped
• We can quote & manufacture customized systems for your needs

The following drawings show identical anchor posts at each end of the system however systems can be be configured with different anchor posts at each end.

Noose Belt Posts

• Use Superchute® Noose Belts to set StrapRail® anchors on existing structural columns (steel or concrete columns only)
• A single noose belt serves up to 2 orange railing straps – use either leg independently
• Each tensioned leg of the noose belt will apply 2000 lb of lateral force to the column
• A structural engineer must verify the adequacy of the selected columns before the installation is performed
• Noose belts provide system independence – you can slacken an orange railing strap without a knock-on effect
• For use on square columns measuring up to 12″ x 12” or round columns up to 12” diameter

94″ Plastic Column Posts

• The simplest way to quickly erect the Guardrail and WallRail™ if the proposed site has perimeter columns
• No tools needed for the installation
• No bolting required
• A structural engineer must approve use of the StrapRail^® System

94″ Wall Anchor Post (Bolt to Wall)

• If you need to install StrapRail^® between slab walls consider using wall posts
• Made from heavy duty galvanized steel
• Requires 5 factory approved HILTI anchor bolts per post

94″ Corner Anchor Post (Bolt Down)

• Turning a corner with StrapRail^® is simple – simply bolt the Corner Post to the slab & continue your barrier rail at a 90 degree angle
• Made from Heavy Duty galvanized steel
• Supplied with 2 plastic drilling templates (inside and outside corners)
• The 2 outrigger legs are stored in the upright postion for easy handling – the 2 long braces are stored separately
• Requires 9 factory approved HILTI anchor bolts per post

94″ Inline Anchor Post (Bolt Down)

• Perfect for long straight runs
• Install an Inline Post every 100 feet – the post allows you to build a barrier of any length
• Made from Heavy Duty galvanized steel
• Supplied with a plastic drilling template (determine distance from slab edge)
• The outrigger leg is stored in the upright position for easy handling – the longer brace is stored separately
• Requires 6 factory approved HILTI anchor bolts

94″ Plastic Column Post

This post guides the orange straps, maintains each orange strap at the requisite height, and provides support for the overhead strap (that will be used to suspend the netting).

Includes 3 Red Captive 1″ Ratchet Straps

94″ Plastic Midway Post Guide (Bolt Down)

• Installed between Anchor Posts to prevent outward & downward movement of the screened strap barrier
• The orange straps are easily slipped into the plastic guide of the Midway Post
• Requires 4 factory approved HILTI anchor bolts per post

Rail Straps

• Webbing woven in Canada using UV resistant yarn which confers a projected life of 10 years
• Straps are sewn on our computerized sewing machine
• Embedded with RFID chip
• Straps have velcro sewn on, to secure a reel of strap

Ratchet Straps

• Webbing woven in Canada using UV resistant yarn which confers a projected life of 10 years
• Straps are sewn on our computerized sewing machines
• Embedded with RFID chip
• Straps have velcro sewn on, to secure a reel of strap

Use StrapRail^® Fall Arrest Netting in conjunction with StrapRail^® 94″ tall Barrier Posts to prevent workers & objects from falling over the edge.

Use StrapRail® Stainless Steel Shackles to attach the Fall Arrest Net to the straps.

StrapRail® Midrail Pouch

• • Orange vinyl mesh pouch allows the wet straps to dry
  • Store loose ends of the tensioned orange straps in the pouch to prevent workers from tripping on surplus strap
  • Install the pouch on the midrail strap on our 45″ Guardrail System
  • Install the pouch on the top rail strap on our 94″ Tall Barrier System

Use Black Rubber Wear Pads if the column has sharp edges to prevent damage to Blue Column Belts on 45″ Plastic Column Posts (Single System).

Use White Rubber Wear Pads to prevent damage to the Red Ratchet Straps on 45″ Plastic Column Posts (Single System) and on 45″ Plastic Column Guide Posts.

Strap Tension Meter

• Confirm that strap is fully tensioned with optional tension meter
• Install at the end of the strap and leave in place
• Useful when strap is turned around corners where friction loss occurs
• Shows tension loss in configurations that are not straight-line

StrapRail® Strap Winder

• Allows quick reeling of 100′ (30 m) straps
• Very useful for winding up any length of StrapRail^® strapping
