As part of the floor turnover process for a steel or concrete building, controlling contractors often times direct the contractor who installed the system to leave the perimeter cables in place until the fall exposure is removed by setting windows or curtain wall. However, cast-in-place concrete structures may transition from wood guard rails to cable guardrails installed by carpenters. Typically, cable guardrails are erected by ironworkers at the final interior and exterior perimeters of floors upon completion of installing the deck. If properly constructed and maintained, cable guardrails can provide compliant fall protection in numerous situations. Risk Managers should keep the below in mind to share with their workers and safety committees. Although they can provide adequate protection at perimeter edges, they often have issues with the way they are installed. Store, transport and deploy your RailGuard 200™ railing system with Goliath™ Mega Cart.Ĭarries 190-feet of railing sections along with a 5’ swing gate, base transporter, and steel toeboards.Cable guardrails are commonly seen on construction projects. Each rack holds 8 base plates.Īdd the Optional Goliath™ winch to ease lifting and positioning of base plates. Included with Goliath™ cart are 3 base plate storage racks. Heavy bases can be moved easily with this simple carrier. Large flotation tires rollīase Transport is an invaluable piece when frequent repositioning of bases is required.
