Tether Track™ Puts Focus on Work Rather Than Fear of Safety...

Bustin Industrial Products is a manufacturer of innovative safety access
equipment. The company fabricated a variety of products such as work platforms,
step stairs, and safety handrails. Workers often were required to work on top of the work platforms as they were building them. The company knew that their productivity depended on worker safety during these custom builds, so they worked with a Gorbel dealer to find the right solution for their business. |

The Solution: Tether Track™ Fall Arrest Ceiling Mounted
Monorail System
Bustin plant engineer Tom Tansits said, “Tether Track is a unit that I had seen
in publications, I know Gorbel has a good name in the industry for fall
protection systems, so that’s why we went with Gorbel.
