The foundation of Gorbel’s Tether Track™ Fall Arrest Systems is the enclosed track, exclusively designed for easy movement. The enclosed track keeps dirt and dust from settling on the rolling surface, allowing the trolley to move smoothly and remain centered directly over the worker creating a shorter fall distance and reducing the risk of swing fall injuries.
