The FallTech Rail Anchor is a quickly installed, foot-level fall arrest and restraint anchor for workers exposed to fall hazards while performing construction or maintenance on railway bridges. When attaching the two halves of the anchor to the crown of variable sizes of railroad track, and pairing with the FallTech Ironman 12' free fall lanyard, the FallTech Rail Anchor allows the anchor to trail the worker as they move from one work location to the next - enhancing safety without reducing worker mobility.
