We design horizontal lifeline (HLL) and rigid rail systems, and specialize in installations for rail car, truck, airplane/aircraft hangars and rooftop access protection. Ellis Fall Safety Solutions can assess and design fall protection systems for your bulk loading and unloading needs as well. EFSS can meet all your fall protection needs.
EFSS is in the forefront of developing systems for tankcar fall protection, truck fall protection, flatbed truck fall protection, box car fall protection, tank truck fall protection and automobile/car carriers/autocarrier fall protection. The fall hazards faced by drivers loading and unloading trucks and accessing the tops of carriers and tankcars are taken very seriously by EFSS. Dr. Ellis recently has completed a study to obtain input from drivers about what they want and need in the way of fall protection that realistically and easily can be put to use on the road. The results of this study were published in the May 2008 issue of Professional Safety. Click here read the entire article which appears in our What's New section Ellis Truck Tarping Article.

GrabSafe attaches extension rails that provide horizontal grab bars for ladders.
