What are the Vertical Lifeline Systems / Ladder Fall Protection Systems ?
Vertical lifeline is a critical piece of safety equipment that provides secure fall protection on standard ladders with a 90° incline. Especially on vertical ladders commonly known as cage or ship ladders, there is always an inherent risk of falling due to their structure. For this reason, vertical lifeline systems play a vital role in ensuring worker safety.
Ladder Fall Protection System Advantages
- Maximum Safety: Provides continuous fall protection during both ascent and descent.
- Ease of Use: Practical and ergonomic design ensures user-friendly operation.
- Durability: Built with long-lasting materials, resistant to harsh weather conditions.
- Compliance: XTR Safety vertical systems are certified according to the latest EN 353-1:2014 + A1:2017 standards.
- The uniquely designed XTR Safety glider ensures safe and comfortable operation. The glider used in the VRT-02 system complies with the latest updates in lifeline standards.
XTR Safety fall arrest systems, fully compliant with occupational safety standards, are the ideal solution for maximizing safety in high-risk work environments.

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.

Vertical lifelines are recognized as personal protective equipment according to European Union norms. Fixed vertical lifelines with EN 353-1:2014+A1:2017 standard can be installed by the manufacturer, persons authorized by the manufacturer and the end user, following the installation manual prepared by the manufacturer.
