A DISCREET AND SAFE SOLUTION FOR VERTICAL ACCESS
SÖLL GlideLoc® Fall Protection Ladders provide safe, reliable, and controlled vertical access for anyone working at height. Featuring a centrally mounted GlideLoc rail with rungs fixed directly to it, the system forms a robust, permanent ladder securely attached to the structure using precision-engineered brackets. This design ensures maximum stability and superior safety performance in all conditions. As a modern, safer alternative to traditional hooped ladders, GlideLoc offers a costeffective and visually appealing solution trusted by employers, architects, and building owners alike.
When used with the Söll GlideLoc Traveller, the system provides a fully certified fall arrest solution compliant with BS EN 353-1:2014 + A1:2017, guaranteeing reliable and compliant vertical access on every climb. Highly adaptable, GlideLoc ladders can be installed on steel frameworks, brickwork, or through cladding, making them ideal for industrial, commercial, and maintenance applications.
OUR LADDERS
GLIDELOC TWIN LADDER
The GlideLoc Twin Ladder integrates a central fall arrest rail with rungs and fixed side stiles, providing the familiar feel of a traditional ladder while incorporating modern fall protection. The twin side rails enhance stability, comfort, and user confidence during ascent and descent, making it ideal for regular access applications.
GLIDELOC Y-SPAR LADDER
The GlideLoc Y-Spar Ladder features a central spine with rungs welded directly to it, creating a robust, secure, and long-lasting vertical access solution. Engineered for demanding industrial environments, it delivers exceptional durability and consistent safety performance in all weather conditions.
SÖLL PIVOTLOC LADDER
The PivotLoc Ladder offers a unique folding fall arrest system that combines uncompromising safety with an aesthetically discreet design. When folded, it remains unobtrusive, reducing visual impact on the building façade. This makes it a preferred choice for architects, building owners, and employers seeking a reliable and visually appealing alternative to fixed ladders.
HOW IT WORKS
The SÖLL GlideLoc® system with the VR600 range of shock-absorbing travellers provides advanced fall protection for working at height. The Traveller securely connects to an EN 361 compliant full body harness, gliding smoothly along the rail for hands-free fall arrest while climbing offering greater freedom of movement.
In the event of a fall, the Traveller locks instantly onto the ladder, stopping descent and reducing the risk of serious injury. Its ergonomic design allows for self-rescue; the user can simply pull upwards to continue climbing.
This innovative system combines maximum safety, comfort, and efficiency, giving workers the confidence to climb securely without compromising mobility.
GLIDELOC TRAVELLERS:
VR650: Designed for entry and exit points.
VR670: Detachable, can be inserted or removed from the rail at any point.
