Magnetic Rail Safety Barrier is a Network Rail Approved and patented system, meeting the safety requirements of the European standard EN 13374 class A. Under local and European regulations it is in most cases legally required when working on and at the track to protect people with a physical barrier to prevent operatives coming too close to any track with trains operating on them. TPA’s magnetic barrier system is intended to realise effective protection for safe work on the track. Crucially, this barrier system is safe for operatives, with no hazardous ballast dust (Silica) or pathogens (e.g. Weil’s disease, Leptospirosis) disturbed in ballast.) Benefits & Features:
••Purpose designed for trackside delineation and safety. ••The system is suitable for rails of all types 85-95 lb, UIC 54(113A) & UIC
60(CEN 60 113A) Flat Bottomed and Bullhead Rail. ••Strong, non-removable magnet (tensile force up to 600 Kg/N). ••Easy dismantling with one arm movement, using the patented head attachment. ••No ballast is removed & operatives are not required to go into the 4’00”. ••No danger of damaging underground signalling cables. ••Does NOT affect track circuits or Axle counters. ••Can be used in areas with S & C. ••Consists of two components. No loose parts. No tools needed ••Certified to EN 13374 (Class A), World Patented, approved by Network Rail: PA05 05085.

Extending system Place the next stanchion within 3 metres, connect the tubes to one another using the bayonet and clamp the tube into the clamping blocks. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 5 to lengthen the system.
Applications of the system The stanchion is adjustable between the hazard area zone A and zone B. This is shown in the diagram shown (right). The distance from the centre of the track to the guardrail/barrier is adjustable between 1.95 metres and 2.55 metres in steps of 0.1 metre.
Erecting the system is a matter of a few steps 1. Click the stanchion using the magnet into the web of the rail 2. Click the next stanchion into the web of the rail at a distance of about 3 metres 3. Place the GRP handrail tube in the holder and attach the next tube with a simple patented interlocking system. 4. Repeat the steps above until the entire length of the working area has been secured.
