GROXX Trapezoidal Base Plate Post
Model No: GRXVRLS1
The Groxx Vertical Rigid Rail Lifeline System is an engineered, permanent climbing protection solution designed for installation on ladders, towers, wind turbines, and industrial structures. Engineered to eliminate the dynamic “whip” and stretch associated with flexible cable systems, this rigid aluminum and stainless steel infrastructure provides continuous, hands-free safety for personnel ascending or descending vertical heights.
Continuous Guided Arrest: The system utilizes a precision-extruded structural rail profile that guides the climber’s slider. In a fall event, the slider locks into the rail immediately, capping fall distance to a few centimeters.
Substrate Structural Integrity: Dynamic load-bearing brackets transfer impact forces evenly into the existing ladder or host structure. The top termination features integrated shock absorption to dissipate kinetic energy.
Hands-Free Transit: The climbing shuttle travels smoothly over intermediate brackets without manual manipulation, ensuring 100% continuous tie-off from entry to exit.
