INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing a Tether Track® Free Standing Cantilevered Monorail by Gorbel to solve your fall
protection needs. Extensive testing, years of component history and quality manufacturing are leveraged to provide
the ultimate value and safety in your Tether Track® Rigid Rail Anchor System. The Free Standing Cantilevered
Monorail Systems are optimally designed to require a small support footprint while protecting a large fall zone. Up to
50 foot support centers are standard. These systems are also optimized for outdoor use by including ice and wind
loads, designing for wind buffeting per AASHTO guidelines, lining the enclosed track with a durable coating, utilizing
leveling nuts for the groutless column bases, and using corrosion resistant hardware.
The engineered systems comply with OSHA’s required safety factor of 2 and are designed in accordance with ANSI
Z359.6. Furthermore, Tether Track® Free Standing Cantilevered Monorail Systems are designed to be statically
proof tested up to 110% of the maximum arresting force (MAF) without incurring any visual permanent deformation.
Following a fall event, this allows the system to be readily returned to service after performing the inspection
procedures detailed in this manual.
When properly applied, configured and installed under the supervision of a qualified person, Tether Track® Free
Standing Cantilevered Monorail Systems will allow unsurpassed user mobility through the use of self-retracting
lanyards (SRLs) attached to Tether Trolleys™, freely rolling on clean, rigid, enclosed track. Superior safety is
achieved through minimizing fall distance, reducing swing falls, and eliminating secondary falls by keeping the
anchor point overhead on the Tether Track® Rigid Rail Anchor System. This reliable performance combined with an
ANSI approved Managed Fall Protection Program gives the user the utmost safety assurance and encourages
further safe work practices.
APPLICATION
Tether Track® Free Standing Cantilevered Monorail Systems are the best choice for providing coverage to a
rectangular fall zone where there is no existing support structure. The rigid anchorage, maintaining the anchorage
trolley overhead and the use of a “Class A” Self Retracting Lanyard provides the best solution to minimize fall
distance when fall clearance height is restrictive.
Note: Standard design is for a maximum arresting force of 900 lbs. and a maximum worker weight (with tools) of
310 lbs. If your SRL has a higher rating, it must be specified at the time of quote.
Foundation quantity may be minimized by using 1 or 2 person monorails with 50 foot support centers. For these
long spans, track plate style splices are used to keep the longest component to a 40 foot length for easier
shipping and handling. Systems with smaller support centers and shorter cantilevers may be able to be installed on
existing reinforced concrete floors. Alternatively, Free Standing Monorails (goal post style supports) may be used
to reduce foundation requirements. Foundation requirements provided on the General Arrangement Drawings are
based on 3000 psi concrete strength and 2500 psf allowable soil bearing strength.
This product meets all applicable OSHA and ANSI standards for fall protection.
Dimensions contained in this installation manual are for reference only and may differ for your particular
application. Please refer to the enclosed General Arrangement Drawing for actual dimensions.
Normal safety precautions: These include, but are not limited to:
• Checking for obstructions in the fall clearance zone
• Coordinating fall hazard activities with assigned rescue personnel
• Making sure that end stops are in place
• Making sure that trolley freely moves
For additional safety precautions, see pages 13 and 14.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
AUTHORIZED PERSON - ANSI defines an authorized person as a “person assigned by the employer to perform
duties at a location where the person will be exposed to a fall hazard”.
COMPLETE FALL ARREST SYSTEM - A complete fall arrest system consists of three main components:
A) Engineered Anchor System - Gorbel’s Tether Track® has been engineered to provide the maximum safety
possible. This system allows for the greatest worker mobility through Gorbel’s ergonomic enclosed track
design. It provides minimal fall distance by keeping the anchor point overhead and rigid.
B) Body Support - Only a full body harness is allowed for fall arrest systems. Proper fitting and wearing of the
harness is critical so that it can evenly dissipate the fall arrest forces to the strongest body parts.
C) Connecting Means - This is the link between the anchor and body support. A self-retracting lifeline is
recommended. This provides maximum mobility and minimum fall distance. An energy absorbing lanyard
may also be used. These components have a maximum arresting force rating. Gorbel’s standard Tether
Track® design is based on a maximum arresting force of 900 lbs. or less.
FALL CLEARANCE ZONE - The space below the person where there is a potential to fall. This space must remain
clear of obstructions to prevent injury from contact with any objects during a fall event.
LEADING EDGE - The edge of the working surface that a person could fall off. This edge, if located parallel with the
Tether Track® Monorail, may restrict the lifeline from reaching a vertical orientation and cause off-vertical
(horizontal) loading of the anchorage system. Avoid sharp leading edges or use lifelines designed to withstand a
sharp leading edge fall event.
QUALIFIED PERSON - ANSI defines a qualified person as “A person with a recognized degree or professional
certificate and with extensive knowledge, training and experience in the fall protection and rescue field who is
capable of designing, analyzing, evaluating and specifying fall protection and rescue systems...”

9/18 Rev B
STEP 2A - COLUMN INSTALLATION (POURED FOUNDATION)
2.1 Cast in Anchor Bolts requirements:
A) All groutless columns using leveling nuts require cast-in anchor bolts.
B) Eight hole base plates are standard.
C) 3/4” or 7/8” diameter anchor bolts are used for most standard configurations with 1” diameter being
required on the largest sizes. Refer to the General Arrangement Drawing for anchor bolt size.
D) Anchor bolts specified are ASTM F1554 Grade 36. Galvanized rods with a tacked nut are
recommended. If plain bolts are used, coat the exposed portion using the cold galvanizing spray paint
provided (anchor bolts supplied by others).
E) With the double nut moment base design, shear forces are transferred through the bolts. Therefore bolt
holes in column base plate are not oversized. Anchor bolt templates are recommended to precisely hold
anchor bolts in correct alignment during pouring and curing of concrete (anchor bolt templates supplied
by others).
F) Anchor bolts are embedded three quarters of the footer depth with 4” to 6” of threaded rod exposed.
G) Galvanized grade DH nuts and galvanized grade F436 flat washers are recommended (anchor nuts and
washers supplied by others).
2.2 Pour the footing according to the
foundation dimension on the General
Arrangement Drawing and in diagram
2A with the anchor bolts in place.
Verify all footings are at the same
elevation unless otherwise detailed
on General Arrangement Drawing.
Protect protruding threads on anchor
bolts until columns are installed.
Note: Foundation requirements are
based on a soil pressure of 2500 lbs
per square foot. Concrete
recommended for foundation is 3000
lbs. per square inch of compressive force.
Note: Foundation/concrete must cure 7 days prior to column installation. Foundation/concrete must cure 28
days prior to using fall arrest system.
NOTE: Monorail should not deviate by more than 0.5 degrees from horizontal. If application requires
foundations at different elevations to achieve this, verify the General Arrangement Drawing details this so
that columns can be fabricated to custom individual lengths.
WARNING
Verify foundation depth meets local codes to prevent frost heave. Contact Gorbel if revision to foundation depth on
the General Arrangement Drawing is required. This may affect square width dimension.

STEP 2A - COLUMN INSTALLATION (POURED FOUNDATION) (CONTINUED)
2.3 Remove top template and clean threads. Lubricate threads with beeswax
(toilet wax ring may also be used). Set leveling nuts at a height of 1/2 of the
anchor bolt diameter from the foundation and make level. Lubricate
washers and place on top of leveling nuts (diagram 2B).
2.4 Properly orient column so that knee brace bracket will face
monorail. 4’, 5’ and some 6’ cantilevers do not require knee braces.
For these, orient column top plate so that the longer side is parallel
with the header direction (diagram 2C).
2.5 Using proper rigging practices (by others), raise column as
vertical as possible, place over anchor rods and lower into place.
Lubricate and install flat washers and secure with top nuts. Snug
tighten leveling and top nuts in a star pattern (diagram 2D).
2.6 After monorail is installed, columns may be slightly tilted away from
overhung hung load to level the monorail if needed. Final anchor
rod nut tightening will be done at the end of the install. For F1554
grade 36 anchor bolts with clean, lubricated threads and bearing surfaces,
snug tight and verification torques are shown (chart 2A).
2.7 Install remaining columns (repeat steps 2.3 through 2.6).
2.8 Turn of the nut method is used for final tightening of anchor rod nuts. Mark
one flat on top nut and mark a corresponding reference on the base plate for
each bolt. Top nuts should be turned in increments in a star pattern (at least
two full tightening cycles) to achieve 1/6 turn of nut (one flat).
2.9 Verify nut tightening using torque wrench. Leveling nut and top nut
verification torque is shown in chart 2A.
2.10 After at least 48 hours, recheck torque on nuts.
WARNING
Leveling nut height from concrete shall not exceed one anchor bolt diameter.

2.11 Post-Installed Anchor Bolts requirements:
A) Anchor bolts (by others) shall have an ICC-ES listing demonstrating suitability for the application.
B) Anchor bolts (by others) shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and
requirements.
Note: Chemical (epoxy) anchor bolts are recommended.
Note: Base plate hole size may exceed anchor bolt manufacturer’s recommendations. If base plate hole
diameter is greater than bolt diameter plus 1/4”, refer to AISC Design Guide 1 for minimum washer size
and thickness recommendations.
2.12 Refer to General Arrangement Drawing for base plate hole size and location. Layout and drill holes in slab
according to anchor bolt manufacturer’s recommendations for drill bit size, depth and special inspection
requirements. Vacuum up cement dust. Diagram 2E shows a typical post-installed shallow foundation.
2.13 Install anchor bolts (not included) according to manufacturer’s installation directions and requirements.
2.14 Refer to step 2.4, page 6, for proper column orientation. Position column squarely over anchor bolts and
lower into place. Secure with anchor bolt hardware (not included) according to manufacturer’s installation
directions and requirements.
2.15 Check to see if column is plumb. If column is not plumb, loosen anchor bolt nuts and place steel shims (not
included) under base of column until plumb. After column is plumb, tighten all nuts according to
manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTE: Shallow foundation installations are for indoor applications on existing reinforced slabs that meet the
minimum required thickness throughout the required area. Refer to the General Arrangement Drawing
for these requirements. Also, the area shall be free of cracks, seams, expansion joints and walls.
Foundation requirements are based on a concrete compressive strength of 3000# per square inch. For
applications where the existing floor does not meet the requirements for the desired system, consider a
Free Standing (goal post) Monorail.

STEP 3 - KNEE BRACE INSTALLATION
3.1 Raise and position knee brace to mount to bracket on column.
3.2 Install hardware as shown in diagram 3A. Galvanized flat washers are
provided for outdoor applications to protect the finish on the mounting
plate. Hold the nut stationary and turn the bolt head against the flat
washer.
3.3 Tighten hardware after installing header.
3.4 Repeat steps 3.1 and 3.2 for remaining knee braces.
STEP 4 - HEADER (CANTILEVER) INSTALLATION
4.1 Orient the header as shown in diagram 4A. The header has
two different size end plates. One is flush with the header
channel to provide more positioning adjustment at the
column connection. One is oversized to act as a stop plate if
the monorail hardware should loosen. Orient so that the
oversized end plate is away from the column. The header
weldment also has an additional spacer plate (spacer plates
are welded to the top and bottom of the header channel).
This extra spacer plate is only welded to the bottom of the
header and is used as a stop plate for the knee brace
connection. Orient the header so that this extra plate is on
the bottom.
Note: For outdoor systems, all hardware may not be
galvanized. You will need to use cold galvanizing spray
provided for any unplated/galvanized hardware (refer to
steps 1.5 and 1.6).
4.2 Lift and position header onto secured column and knee brace. Using clamp plates and hardware provided,
attach header to column (refer to diagram 4A). Leave hardware loose. Using clamp plates and same
hardware provided, attach header to knee brace. Draw up knee brace and reposition header so that edge of
knee brace top plate is touching edge of header stop plate. The header channel length is cut to allow the
channel to extend 1/4” past the column top plate. This provides extra adjustment, if needed, to position the
header stop plate to make contact with the knee brace.
4.3 Tighten header to column hardware and header to knee brace hardware to 95 ft.-lbs. of torque per nut.
4.4 Tighten knee brace to column hardware to 50 ft.-lbs. of torque per nut.
4.5 Install remaining headers (repeat steps 4.1 through 4.4).

IMPORTANT: Threaded rod for header installation is either the same length or shorter than threaded rod used
for monorail installation; do not confuse them.

STEP 5 - TETHER TRACK® INSTALLATION
5.1 Refer to the enclosed General Arrangement Drawing to plan the sequence in which the monorail sections will
be installed. Monorail sections that have splice plate style connections (Z and ZD styles) may need to be
assembled to the mating monorail section prior to lifting and installing on the headers. Do not lift greater than
two assembled (splice plate style connection only) monorail sections at a time. Do not lift assemblies greater
than 54 feet long. Do not allow more than 13 feet of track to extend past the header without support. For
sleeve and truss plate style connections (S, SL, SLX and SLD styles), only lift these sections individually (not
assembled).
Splice Joint Plate Style Connections
5.2 Align mating monorail sections and install hardware (diagram 5A).
Verify track flanges (trolley wheel running surfaces) are aligned
before tightening. Run a finger on the inside of the track flange and
use a soft blow mallet to align plates until no lip is
felt. Also check alignment of mating sections for bow
and camber. Steel shims (by others) may be used
between the splice plates to adjust any
misalignment. Tighten hardware to 50 ft.-lbs. of
torque per nut.
Monorail to Header Connections
5.3 The first monorail section(s) to install shall be
connected to two headers. Subsequent sections will
be splice connected to the previously installed
section and a header. Diagram 5B shows the top
tube on top of the header. Diagram 5C shows the
top tube below the header. Refer to the enclosed
General Arrangement Drawing to determine the
correct orientation. Threading the header through
the monorail truss (diagram 5B) is the most
common. When there is at least a 1-1/2” clearance
between the header’s oversized end plate and the
space between the track and top tube on the truss,
the threaded orientation is used. The monorail centerline
should be located from the end of the header as
shown in diagram 5B, for threaded mounting or as
shown in diagram 5C, for under hung mounting.
5.4 Using proper rigging practices (by others) lift the monorail
section(s) into place and secure to the header using spine
clamp angles, clamp plates, and hardware provided
(diagrams 5B and 5C).
Note: For outdoor systems, all hardware may not be
galvanized. You will need to use cold galvanizing spray
provided on any unplated/galvanized hardware (refer to steps 1.5 and 1.6, page 4).

The largest monorail assembly required to install may be
54 feet long and weigh 1300 lbs. Do not perform
installations under adverse weather conditions or without
the proper lifting equipment.

STEP 5 - TETHER TRACK® INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
5.5 Verify monorail is level in direction toward column and along its length. For cast-in anchor bolts, column
leveling nuts may be used to adjust monorail to make level.
5.6 Tighten hanger hardware to 50 ft.-lbs. of torque per nut.
5.7 If you DO NOT have additional monorails to install, go to step 6, on page 11. If you have plate style splices,
refer to step 5.2. If you have sleeve style splices, proceed to step 5.8.
Splice Sleeve Style Joint Instructions
5.8 Attach splice hardware to joint sleeve. Slide splice joint sleeve
over track portion of installed runway.
5.9 Lift next monorail section into position for splicing to previously
installed monorail, bringing monorail ends together. Maximum
gap between ends of trolley riding surface flange shall be less
than or equal to 1/16” (1.5mm). Center splice joint sleeve over
the two track ends (diagram 5D). If plate style joint, refer to
step 5.2.
5.10 Place a top tube splice plate on each side of monorail truss
tube and bolt into place (diagram 5D). “Hand tighten” bolts.
Note: Do not torque bolts until track has been attached to
header and adjusted for smooth transition - steps 5.11
through 5.13.
5.11 Track running-surface misalignment at joints shall be adjusted
within 1/16” when installed.
5.12 To attach monorail to header, repeat steps 5.4 through 5.6, beginning on page 9.
5.13 To adjust track for smooth transition, use bolts along top of splice joint sleeve to force track down onto lower
flanges of splice. Check to see that transition from one track to the other is smooth: no raised areas to inhibit
trolley operation. Use bolts along the sides of splice joint sleeve to align track laterally. Check to see that
track portion of monorail is horizontally and vertically flush: transition from one track to the other is smooth.

AUTHORIZED PERSON INSTRUCTIONS
Performing duties where a fall hazard exists can be dangerous. Therefore, it is important for the Authorized Person to be
instructed in the use of their Complete Fall Arrest System and to understand the severe consequences of careless use. It is not
intended that these suggestions take precedence over existing plant safety rules and regulations or OSHA regulations. However,
a thorough study of the following information should provide a better understanding of safe use and afford a greater margin of
safety. It must be recognized that these are suggestions for the authorized person working in the presence of a fall hazard. It
is the responsibility of the owner to make personnel aware of all federal, state and local rules and codes, and to make certain
authorized persons are properly trained.
Qualifications
Working while being exposed to a fall hazard, to be safe and efficient, requires skill: the exercise of extreme care and good
judgment, alertness and concentration, and rigid adherence to proven safety rules and practices as outlined in applicable and
current ANSI and OSHA safety standards. In general practice, no person should be authorized to work while being exposed to a
fall hazard:
• Who cannot speak the appropriate language or read and understand the printed instructions.
• Who is not of legal age to work while being exposed to a fall hazard.
• Whose hearing or eyesight is impaired (unless suitably corrected with good depth perception).
• Who may be suffering from heart or other ailments which might interfere with their safe performance.
• Who may be pregnant or have any condition where the exposure to maximum arresting force of a fall event may be a
health risk.
• Unless the person has carefully read and studied this operation manual.
• Unless the person has been properly instructed.
• Unless there is a rescue plan in place and at least one additional authorized person that has been instructed in the
implementation of the rescue plan.
• Unless the person has demonstrated his or her instructions through practical use of the Complete Fall Arrest System.
• Unless the person is familiar with fall protection equipment and the safe use of this equipment.
Handling the Trolley Motion
Before using the trolley of the Tether Track® Anchorage System, the Authorized Person should be sure that the trolley is clear
of any obstructions that would prevent it from freely traveling and that the fall zone, beneath where the work will be performed,
is clear of any obstructions that would decrease the required fall clearance height. During use, the trolley should be brought into
position so that it is directly over the Authorized Person. The trolley should follow the user’s movement and remain overhead.
Failure to keep the trolley overhead may cause a pendulum motion during a fall event that will increase fall distance and may
expose the user to a side impact with any obstructions. A maximum off vertical angle of 30 degrees is allowed for monorail
systems where the pendulum motion would be restricted by a leading edge. In this application, the leading edge may not be
sharp enough to cause damage to the lanyard or self retracting lifeline web or cable; or an SRL specifically designed for a
leading edge shall be used.
Outdoor Use
Refer to the General Arrangement Drawing to verify the system has been designed for outdoor use. Outdoor systems are
designed for use with ice loads and wind gusts up to 45 mph. However, it is recommended that the user should not expose
themselves to a fall hazard if wind gusts exceed 28 mph or if weather and walking surface conditions increase the risk of a fall
event occurring. Outdoor systems have been designed to withstand gulf coast winds when not in use. After an extreme weather
event, a maintenance inspection is recommended.

9/18 Rev B

GENERAL OPERATIONAL SUGGESTIONS
Know Your Environment and Your Complete Fall Arrest System
Authorized persons should be familiar with the principal parts of the Fall Arrest System and have a thorough knowledge of the safe use,
inspection, and limitations of this equipment. The authorized person should be required to know the procedure to rescue a person after a fall
event and be trained to rapidly implement this procedure. The authorized person(s) should be aware of any condition that may change while they
are exposed to a fall hazard that may jeopardize the integrity of the fall arrest system and the rescue plan. For example, obstructions moving into
a fall clearance zone.
Responsibility
Each authorized person(s) should be held directly responsible for the safe use of the Fall Arrest System. Whenever there is any doubt as to
SAFETY, the authorized person should remove themselves from exposure to the fall hazard and refuse to re-expose themselves until safety has
been assured. It is the responsibility of the employer to train the authorized person(s) in the safe use of the Fall Arrest System and to have
managed Fall Protection Plan in place.
Do not permit ANYONE to use this equipment unless they are authorized, there is at least one other authorized person within visual range, and
there is a rescue plan in place.
Inspection
Test the Tether Track® Anchorage System movement and any attachments and connections before each use. Whenever the authorized
person(s) finds anything wrong or apparently wrong, the problem should be reported immediately to the proper supervisor and appropriate
corrective action taken.
Suggestions for the use of the Tether Track® Anchorage System
The authorized person should know and follow these suggestions for safe use of this protection equipment.
1. The trolley should move smoothly and gradually as the user moves. If a self retracting lifeline is being used and the retraction tension is not
great enough to move the trolley, the user should abruptly jerk the lifeline to lock it and while maintaining tension in the lifeline, the user
should pull on the lifeline until the trolley is overhead. Slack should then be removed by allowing the lifeline to retract. Slack should be kept
to a minimum at all times. A maximum SRL weight of 40 lbs. applies to the Recover Trolley only.
2. The trolley should be located above the user and as close to the user as possible to minimize freefall distance. The user should verify that
the trolley moves as close as possible to the user whenever he or she moves. In the event of a fall, this will help to prevent swinging. The
user must not work outside of the designed fall zone.
3. Monorail systems are designed to allow for a 30 degree off-vertical side pull. This maximum angle is selected to minimize the horizontal
acceleration experienced during a swing fall. Offset falls, if not restricted by a vertical face, will increase the freefall distance. This extra
distance must be accounted for in the fall clearance calculations.
4. Be sure everyone in the immediate area is aware of your use of fall protection equipment and that the fall zone remains clear. Confirm that
there is at least one person visually aware of your activities and that there is an authorized fall rescue person on-site.
5. Do not exceed the rated load capacity, number of workers, or maximum arresting force of the Tether Track® Anchor System. Labels with
this information are located on every track section for monorails.
6. Make certain that before exposing yourself to a fall hazard, components are properly connected, connectors are properly oriented and
latches are fully closed and locked.
7. Check to be sure that all trip hazards are removed and that the fall protection zone is clear of dangerous obstructions when moving to a
new location on the Tether Track® Anchor System. Be aware of the boundaries of the fall protection zone. This is detailed on your General
Arrangement Drawing supplied with the manual at the time of shipment.
8. At no time should the authorized person be working alone while exposed to a fall hazard. In the event of a fall, a worker left suspended will
lose the ability to circulate blood by the contractions of muscles in their legs. This combined with being suspended vertically will eventually
result in lack of blood flow to the brain and can lead to death.
9. Do not use equipment with unused Y-lanyard webs, straps or taglines hanging loose. These should be properly stored to prevent tripping
hazards and the possibility of snagging during a fall event that may cause an excessive arresting force.
10. This equipment should not be used for any purpose other than fall protection unless it has been specifically designed for multiple purposes.
11. When multiple trolleys are provided on the same track(s), adequate spacing should be maintained between the trolleys to prevent any
impact with each other during a fall event.
12. Whenever the authorized person leaves the Tether Track® Anchorage System the following procedure should be followed:
• Verify that you are removed from the fall hazard or that you have another method of fall protection.
• Remove your lifeline from the body harness D-ring or remove the lanyard from the trolley eye nut.
• If using a self retracting lifeline, securely attach a tagline to the lifeline and allow it to slowly retract.
• Remove lanyard and harness and clean any grease or dirt per manufacturer’s instructions. Allow to drip dry and store in a cool,
clean, dry environment out of direct sunlight.
• Make a visual check before leaving anchor system.
• Notify appropriate person that you are no longer using the fall arrest system.
13. After a fall event or if a safety concern is uncovered during inspection, an “out-of-service” warning sign or signal should be displayed at the
access and egress point to this equipment until the system can be inspected and repaired or replaced and inspected.
14. ANY SAFETY FEATURES AND MECHANISMS BUILT-IN OR OTHERWISE PROVIDED WITH THE TETHER TRACK® ANCHOR
SYSTEM BY GORBEL ARE REQUIRED FOR THE SAFE USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
REMOVE OR OTHERWISE IMPAIR OR DISABLE THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF ANY SAFETY MECHANISMS OR FEATURES
BUILT-IN OR OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY GORBEL FOR SAFE OPERATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT. ANY REMOVAL, IMPAIRMENT
OR DISABLING OF ANY SUCH SAFETY MECHANISMS OR FEATURES OR OTHER OPERATION OF THE TETHER TRACK®
ANCHOR SYSTEM WITHOUT THE COMPLETE AND PROPER FUNCTIONING OF ANY SUCH SAFETY MECHANISMS OR FEATURES
AUTOMATICALLY AND IMMEDIATELY VOIDS ANY AND ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (CONT.)
GORBEL® TETHER TRACK® FREE STANDING CANTILEVERED MONORAIL ANCHOR
SYSTEMS: INSPECTION AFTER A FALL ARREST EVENT
Free Standing Cantilevered Supporting Structure
• Inspect foundation for any signs of damage or cracking. Repair as required.
• Inspect column weldment connections to foundations. Check torque requirements per anchor bolt
manufacturer’s instructions for post-installed (typically applying 20% of installed torque value is sufficient to
determine if anchor bolt is loose). Check torque requirements per chart 2A, page 6, for cast-in anchor bolts.
• Inspect column weldment and header weldment for any visual cracking in welds and/or any permanent
deformation. Repair as required.
• Verify header clamp plate hardware is tightened to 95 ft.-lbs. of torque per nut.
• Verify knee brace to column hardware is tightened to 50 ft.-lbs. of torque per nut.
Monorail
• Support each Tether Track® section by other means and loosen all support hardware
(sleeve and top tube splice joint, plate style splice joint and spine clamp angle). This will
relieve any stress and misalignment in the anchor system members that may be retained by
the hardware from the arresting force. Any misalignment caused by hardware/member shift
must be removed before the track sections can be measured for permanent deformation.
Ensure all fitments and track sections are aligned. Re-tighten hardware on all components
per installation instructions in this manual.
• At the location in the track where the fall arrest incident took place,
measure the track opening and compare to the dimension and
tolerance shown in diagram A. Replace section of track if
measurement is not within the tolerance.
• Verify the Tether Track® members have not undergone any other
permanent deformation. This can be achieved by measuring the
camber and bow (diagram B) of the enclosed track member and top
tube member (if trussed track).
• Using a string (kite), two clamps, and a measuring device (ruler, tape
measure, etc.), measure from support to support (covering track area
where arrest took place).
• Clamp one end of string to the concave face of track, at the support. Travel to the other support pulling the
string taut, not allowing it to sag, and clamp it in the same location on track at the support.
• Measure the distance from the string to the track face where this distance is greatest (usually at mid-span).
• If this measurement is greater than .125” X length of track in feet between supports / 10’ then replacement
of track section is required.
• Repeat this for both bow and camber of both the enclosed track member and top tube member (if trussed).
• If arrest took place on cantilevered portion of track, measurement will be from end of track to first support.
• Visually inspect end stops for fractures or deformation, replace if any are found.
Trolley
• Roll trolley in track listening for abnormal thumping noise. If heard, this indicates there may be debris
sticking to wheel(s) or a flat spot on wheel(s) and wheel replacement is required.
• Remove endstop and carefully remove trolley from track section, install end stop bolt back into hole for
safety purposes.
• Inspect trolley wheels for debris. clean off if any debris is found with clean dry cloth.
• Inspect black polyurethane washer between bolt head and metal washer for deformity. If bolt head is
wedged into washer, press up on eyebolt while pulling down with hands until black washer and bolt head
have separated. Verify eyebolt freely swivels.
• Further, visually inspect trolley wheels for flat spots and/or fractures. If any are found, specific wheel replacement
is necessary.
• Place trolley back into track and secure with endstop and hardware.
