Rigid Lifelines Forms Strategic Alliance with XSPlatforms

XSPlatforms and Rigid Lifelines announce a new dynamic partnership in fall protection. As an official XSPlatforms partner, Rigid Lifelines will distribute XSPlatforms' rooftop fall protection solutions.

According to XSPlatforms U.S. President Phil Shumway, this new partnership was a logical step for both companies: "Both Rigid Lifelines and XSPlatforms are known for the quality of their products and solutions. By joining forces we will be able to service the market even better than before."

Rigid Lifelines has engineered and manufactured overhead fall protection systems for over a decade. The Rigid Lifelines product line has traditionally included engineered fall protection systems that utilize enclosed steel and aluminum track with a rolling trolley. With a growing customer base, Rigid Lifelines is now expanding their product line to include solutions that meet the needs of growing markets like rooftop safety.

John Kemp, Rigid Lifelines product and sales manager, said, "With the addition of XS Platforms to the Rigid Lifelines product lineup, we are now able to provide world class-engineered horizontal lifeline solutions for workers accessing roofs, keeping them safer and more productive at elevations."

XSPlatforms has more than 15 years of industry experience in working safely at height. From building maintenance and fall protection systems to suspended ladders and scaffolding systems, XSPlatforms products can be found throughout the world.  The company is headquartered in the Netherlands with offices and partners located across the world.
