Non-Conductive Rail Safety Barrier for worker platform safety.
Rail Safety Barriers protect workers from the dangers around a live traffic area by creating a safe zone while temporary work is carried out.
We have two types of Vortok Railway Safety Barriers available, including the Adjustable Telescopic and Fixed Shoulder Clearance Barrier that both prevent the risk of falling onto the railway line.
All components and types virtually fit all rail types, are fully reusable, and have insulation properties for overhead line and third rail environment protection.
They’ve also been used across the globe and have achieved the Alstom Award for innovation and safety.
The Telescopic Rail Safety Barrier is clamped to the rail foot of the live traffic line and has been created for all train speeds. It can be adjusted from 1.25m to 2m (depending on line speed) and requires no specialist tools for installation.
This type is suitable for flat-bottomed rails, bull-head rails, and third rail areas; it’s also Network Rail approved for AC, DC, and non-electrified track.
For additional safety and visibility, track lighting can be attached to the barrier using the Network Rail-approved Lightmast Bracket.
The other Fixed Shoulder Clearance Safety Barrier type is designed to clear a high ballast shoulder and is also clamped to the rail foot of a live traffic line with minimal ballast disturbance. The non-telescopic barrier sits at 1.25 metres from the running rail.
