Antenna Products has manufactured fall prevention systems for over 30 years. The corporation has two styles of fall prevention systems, each using a fixed mounted rail. The two types of rails are: round knotched rail and aluminum T-rail. Each system is easy to install and utilize. Antenna Products' systems can be mounted on a variety of surfaces including: tower faces, ladders, wood poles and metal poles. The systems utilize a safety sleeve that slides over the rail. The sleeves guide freely on the rail until a fall occurs. When a fall does occur the sleeve locks down securely. The links located below will guide you to each system and to other accessories related to our fall prevention systems.
