The modular design of a horizontal lifeline system allows it to adapt to different worksite requirements and integrate seamlessly with existing structures. It provides continuous protection for workers, allowing them to remain securely attached while performing their tasks. Horizontal lifelines feature galvanized and stainless steel components for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.
