HOW IT WORKS: SÖLL GLIDELOC® GUIDERAIL SYSTEM

The SÖLL GlideLoc® GuideRail system uses the VR600 range of Travellers, which securely connects the worker’s EN 361 compliant full body harness to the rail. As the user climbs, the Traveller moves smoothly along the track, providing hands-free fall protection and complete climbing freedom with minimum fall distance.

In the event of a fall, the traveller immediately locks onto the rail, preventing further descent and greatly reducing the risk of injury. Thanks to its ergonomic design, the system also allows for self-rescue in most cases, the user can continue climbing by releasing the traveller with a simple upward pull.

This unique safety mechanism ensures maximum protection without restricting movement, giving workers the confidence to climb safely and efficiently.

GLIDELOC® TRAVELLERS

VR650: Designed for entry and exit points.

VR670: Detachable, can be inserted or removed from the rail at any point.

INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS DESIGNED FOR SAFETY

The GlideLoc Vertical GuideRail System offers a safe and reliable solution for existing fixed ladders where there is a risk of falling. Contrary to common belief, ladder hoops do not provide effective fall protection — in fact, HSE tests have shown that hoops can increase the risk of injury in the event of a fall. The GlideLoc system delivers continuous, hands-free safety for climbers, ensuring secure vertical access with minimal maintenance. Designed for durability and ease of use, it provides superior fall protection compared to traditional ladder designs, making it an essential upgrade for any site prioritising worker safety.
