RS mono-rails are designed to make them as inconspicuous as possible keeping in mind the stringent safety requirements demanded by the applicable safety standards.

These rails are typically smaller in size than the run-of-the-mill imported aluminium extruded sections and is designed by registered professional engineers to withstand mandatory minimum loads. 

Note that there is a significant difference in the design loads between rope access and suspended platform usage – Rope access loads are stipulated in SANS 22846-2 whereas suspended platforms / boatswain’s chairs are determined in accordance with SANS 51808.

The visibility of these circular hollow sections is significantly less than the aluminium extruded rails and has the added benefit of being able to follow the shape of the building. These rails can be rolled with tight corner radii – as small as 500mm. These rails can also be rolled to a larger radius to suit the curved shape of modern building facades. There is no need for unsightly segmented rails protruding from the building facade with varying gaps.
