TRR38 Roller Trolley for Securail Rigid Rail Systems
The TRR38 is the climber's connection to a Securail rigid rail ladder system. Rollers carry it perfectly with the climber up and down the rail, through the whole system, with no snags and no manual repositioning - and the instant a fall starts, it locks on the rail. An anti-inversion mechanism means it cannot be mounted upside down.
Anodized aluminum and AISI 304 stainless steel, with an integrated energy absorber and a high strength ANSI-rated carabiner. User capacity 110 to 330 lb, minimum breaking strength 3,330 lb, connector strength 5,395 lb. Conforms to ANSI A14.3 and EN 353-1:2017 and aligns with OSHA 1910.29. Built for the Frontline VLRS Securail Pro rail.
Who Needs This Product
This product is a guided fall arrester for rigid rail - the moving link between a climber's harness and a Securail system. The rail (VLRS, sold separately) is the anchorage; the harness is the body support; the TRR38 rides between them and does the catching. Connection on and off happens at the end of each track.
Features
Roller-borne travel
Rollers follow the climber perfectly in both directions - no drag on ascent, no chatter on descent.
Integrated energy absorber
Limits arrest forces on the climber when the trolley locks.
Instant lock
Locks on the rail the moment a fall begins.
Anti-inversion mechanism
The trolley physically cannot be installed upside down - one failure mode designed out.
Safe end connection
Climbers connect and disconnect at the end of each track, from a standing position.
ANSI-rated carabiner
High strength swiveling connection to the harness sternal D-ring.

One trolley, one rail. The TRR38 is rated for Frontline Securail rigid rail systems only - never use it on cable or other rails. One climber per trolley, 110 to 330 lbs including tools, connected to the harness sternal D-ring. Do not skip the user instructions.
Compliance Standards
ANSI A14.3
American National Standard for fixed ladder safety systems.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.29
General industry requirements for ladder safety systems on fixed ladders.
EN 353-1:2017
European standard for guided type fall arresters on a rigid anchor line.
Anti-inversion design
Engineering control that eliminates upside-down installation.
Typical Applications
Use Overview
Follow the manufacturer's manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect. Check rollers, lock, absorber indicator, anti-inversion feature, and carabiner before each climb.
- Mount at the track end. Insert the trolley at the rail end stop from a safe standing position - the anti-inversion mechanism only allows correct orientation.
- Verify lock. Tug-test downward to confirm instant lock-up before climbing.
- Connect. Clip the carabiner to the harness frontal (sternal) D-ring.
- Climb. The rollers carry the trolley with you in both directions.
- Exit. Disconnect only at a track end, from a safe standing position.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect before each use, with a documented competent-person inspection at least every 6 months. Pull the equipment from service for any of the conditions below.
- Rollers: free-spinning, no flat spots or binding.
- Body: deformation, cracks, or corrosion on aluminum or stainless parts.
- Energy absorber: any deployment indication.
- Carabiner: positive gate lock, no nose wear.
- Lock function: instant grab when snapped downward on the rail.
- Markings: legible.
Retirement triggers: any fall arrest on the trolley, a deployed energy absorber, roller or body damage, or any condition where the inspector cannot verify it is fit for service.
