Vertical lifeline is critical safety equipment that provides a safe fall arrest system on standard ladders with a 90° incline. Vertical ladders, especially known as seafarer type ladders, always carry a fall risk due to their structure. Therefore, vertical fall protection systems play a vital role to ensure the safety of workers.
- Vertical lifeline is recommended as the primary occupational safety solution for ladders due to their ease of use and long lifetime.
- The vertical safety line systems provides absolute fall protection on ascent and descent.
- XTR Safety vertical systems are certified according to the latest EN353-1:2014 + A1:2017 standards.
- User friendly thanks to its practical and ergonomic design.
- With its unique design, the XTR Safety vertical trolley ensures working safety in a comfortable way. The trolley of claim VRT-02 complies with the latest updates to the lifeline standards.
Fully compliant with occupational safety standards, XTR Safety fall arrest systems are the ideal solution for maximising safety in high-risk work areas. Contact us for more information!

The vertical lifeline is a fall arrest system installed on a fixed structural element or on a sailor-type ladder and similar equipment; it is a fall arrest system that allows the user to make safe and comfortable descent / ascent by providing mobility along the lifeline without interfering with the system manually. According to European Union norms, vertical lifelines are personal protective equipment and must be CE certified as well as tested and certified according to EN 353-1:2014+A1:2017.
Vertical lifelines should be used with a carriage that operates without the need for manual adjustment, moves up and down, should not be unintentionally separated from the system, and in the event of a fall, automatically locks and stops the worker from falling.
Vertical lifeline is a fall arrest system designed and certified according to EN 353-1:2014+A1:2017 norms with steel rope and rail type options.
Pursuant to the Regulation No. 30642 on the Amendment of the Regulation on Occupational Health and Safety in Construction Works, it is necessary to take anti-fall measures on seaman-type ladders. The employer is obliged to take at least one of the following measures: rewind fall arrest, provision of double-arm lanyards and/or installation of a vertical lifeline.
XTR Safety vertical lifelines can be mounted on a marine ladder or similar systems that meet the following conditions.
- The slope of the mounting floor should be maximum 15° at side angles.
- The structure to be installed must have a minimum pulling value of 15kN, capable of carrying the loads that may potentially occur.
- Highly corrosive environments, chemicals (swimming pools, water tanks, waste areas, working environments with acid vapor and hazardous chemical use, extreme cold / hot, etc.) will cause stress corrosion cracking on stainless steel products, which is not visible to the eye, and a decrease in the structural strength of the product, so the installation decision should be made after the relevant measurements are made in the installation area.
