Everything You Need to Know About Kee Track: Your Questions Answered
When it comes to overhead fall protection, Kee Track offers a reliable and easy-to-install solution. Whether you’re considering the system for your facility or looking for ways to optimise installation, we’ve complied answers to some of the most frequently asked questions to help guide you.
Can Kee Track Be Powder-Coated to Match My Building?
Yes! If aesthetics is a concern, the system can be powder-coated to blend seamlessly with your building. However, keep in mind that this may result in a tighter fit for clamshell and splice connections.
How Much Installation Flexibility Does the System Offer?
Kee Track allows for a tolerance of ±3°, which helps account for minor installation variances. While the system is primarily designed to be installed horizontally, this slight flexibility ensures a smoother setup on-site.
Why Does the Track Come in 3m Lengths?
Each Kee Track section is 3 meters long for easy shipping and on-site handling. But don’t worry – these sections can be seamlessly spliced together, allowing you to create a system as long as needed.
How Do I Work Around an Obstruction?
Obstructions can be managed in different ways:
- Moving the attachment point at the purlin to adjust the arm's angle or length
- In some cases, omitting an arm in an obstructed location might be possible, but this requires aproval from an engineer, or Kee Safety's technical team
Where Can a Join Be Placed Between Supports?
We’ve tested the joint strength for flexibility – it can be positioned anywhere within the largest span of 3.6m.
Can the Rail Be Mounted Directly to the Purlins If There’s Limited Site Height?
Yes, but this is a non-standard configuration. If this setup is necessary, it’s best to consult Simplified Safety’s technical team to ensure proper installation.
How Many Users Can Use a Kee Track System at the Same Time?
A Kee Track system can typically support up to four users, but this depends on your buildings structure and purlin spacing. If You’re unsure, reach out to our team for guidance.
Can Kee Track Be Connected to Anything Other Than C and Z Purlins?
Yes, connections to alternative structural members are possible, please contact Kee Safety Technical Department for further information and specification.
What Are the Annual Inspection Requirements?
The frequency of inspections depends on the environment, location, and usage. As a rule, Kee Track should be inspected at least once every 12-months to ensure continued safety and compliance.
Can the Track Be Cut to A Custom Length?
Yes! The track can be cut to length as long as it’s being spliced into a standard-length track. Typically, cuts should be made at one end of the system, and they must be clean, square, and free of burrs.
What Are the Maximum Spans?
The maximum span between brackets is 3.6, for a single user. If more users are required, refer to the RFU (Recommended Fall Protection Usage) guidelines or contact us for expert advice.
What Is the Minium Load Capacity Required on the Purlins?
This depends on the number of users and the specific site conditions. Contact Simplified Safety for guidance tailored to your facility.
Where Is Kee Track Manufactured?
Kee Track is manufactured in China. If you need additional details about quality assurance, our team is happy to provide more information.
What Is the Minimum Ground Clearance for Kee Track?
