PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Climbing protection rail without rungs TAC-0020
The climbing protection rail without rungs can be retrofitted to existing ladder systems with
a rung spacing of 280 - 300mm and a rung size of up to 30mm diameter (rung bracket) or a
rectangular cross section of 30mm deep and maximum 50mm high (mounting disc).
As with the climbing protection ladder, an end stop must be mounted at each exit point on
the start and end of the ascent route, respectively.
End stops, exit devices, and other accessories are the same as for the climbing protection
ladder. The rest platform is offered with its own holder for aluminium ladders. (TAC-0140-
AL)
Safety Information
Due to the lower resistance of aluminium ladders compared with steel, when installing the mounting disc,
the max. tightening torque for fittings must be reduced to 40Nm to avoid damaging the ladder and the disc.
When using the clamping rail TAC 0260-200, a torque of 5 Nm must not be exceeded for aluminium
ladders, otherwise damage to the aluminium rungs can be expected.
This does not apply for the rung bracket TAC-0190, the butt connector TAC-0040/TAC-0040-190 and the
rest platform TAC-0140-AL, since in this case the tightening torque for attachment to the climbing
protection rail is to remain at 71Nm.
Caution:
Never install a bolt in an open slot in the climbing protection rail
!
12.1 Installation of the climbing protection ladder
12.1.1 Installation kit
Climbing protection rail segments in various lengths.
Each rail segment is marked with a label that has a serial number welded onto it.

rail TAC-260-200.
At least 1 per ladder segment, maximum distance of 1200 mm between the fasteners
(except for flange extension brackets in wind turbines).
One coupling piece per joint TAC-0040/ TAC-0040-190
One end stop at each entry and exit point TAC-0050
One end stop TAC-0060 in the upper ladder segment if the runner can remain in the ladder
system.
One information sign per ladder system.
