Information
  • 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

Superchute® can provide free and helpful sketches within 24 hours.

A StrapRail Site Sketch :

  • Shows a clear layout of the barrier system on the jobsite
  • Shows the precise quantity of StrapRail® needed for the job
  • Recommends the appropriate components
  • Contact us for your custom site sketch

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.

Anchor Posts

Use the following StrapRail® StrapWall™ Anchor Posts to anchor the orange rail straps to structurally adequate elements of the building.

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

TE-40

  • Maximum working comfort thanks to innovative, perfectly balanced design with ergonomic D-grip
  • Extremely wide range of applications thanks to rapidly interchangeable chucks
  • With this you can drill a 5/8″ diameter hole 6″ deep in concrete in 20 seconds
  • Use a Ferro detector such as a Hilti PS 35 – it locates rebar in a concrete slab, and shows the depth of any rebar steel as well
