The Product

How does the Magnetically Attached Trench Safety Barrier work?

 Erecting the system is a matter of a few steps:
  • Click the stanchion using the magnet into the web of the rail.
  • Click the next stanchion into the web of the rail at a distance of about 3 metres.
  • Place the GRP handrail tube in the holder and attach the next tube with a simple patented interlocking system.
  • Repeat the steps above until the entire length of the working area
    has been secured.
    Dismantle in reverse:

The Magnetically Attached Trench Safety Barrier when working on the track.

  • Employees that perform engineering work on the track must be able to work in total safety. A fence needs to screen the area being worked from the track on which trains are still running.
  • The RSS Railway Safety System has been tested by HHC/DRS Inspecties B.V. and certified to EN 13374 (Class A), the industry directive RLN0077-V004 July 2010 and the Health & Safety regulation 3.16 of The Netherlands Ministry of Social Affairs & Employment. 
  • The magnet is very strong (tensile force up to 600 Kg/N) and cannot be pulled off
  • Easy dismantling with one arm movement, using the patented head attachment.
  • Stanchions made of high-quality galvanised steel – handrails in GRP

❖Easy dismantling with one arm movement.
❖Does NOT affect track circuits or Axle counters.
❖Can be used in areas with S & C.
❖Safe to use, with no hazardous pathogens or ‘Silica Ballast Dust’ generated.
❖Safe and fast assembly/disassembly, with a simple magnetic attachment to the web of the rail, with no removal or replacement of ballast and thus a major saving in working and possession costs (within a Safe System of work can be erected in a line-blockage – 100m/15mins).
❖Can be used in freezing temperatures (to-20oC) with frozen ballast or in high temperatures (to+80oC) when ‘track distortion’ is an issue.
