For over 45 years, Pro-Bel has been a pioneer in the fall protection and window washing safety system industry. We patented the first roof anchor in North America and have revolutionized it since then. We’re one of the largest safety system providers in North America, but our scope is worldwide—we've worked from Dubai to Beijing to provide engineered safety system solutions globally.

Engineered Fall Protection Systems
A fall protection system refers to a horizontal tie-back system in which rooftop workers attach themselves to provide fall restraint when working from heights.
Fall Prevention Guardrails
Guardrails are a staple of fall protection. Guardrails are typically installed in areas where workers are within 6 feet of the roof edge, and there is no parapet over 42” present.
Fall Protection Lifelines
The main forms of fall protection implemented are fall restraint, fall arrest, and fall prevention. Pro-Bel supplies separate engineered fall protection solutions for each type of fall protection.
Horizontal Lifeline Systems
Pro-Bel's horizontal lifeline system is meant for workers who require a lot of horizontal mobility within proximity to a vertical drop. It’s typically implemented when single point anchors prove insufficient, and a multiple point anchor system is needed.

Industrial Fall Protection
The main forms of fall protection implemented are fall restraint, fall arrest, and fall prevention. Pro-Bel supplies separate engineered fall protection solutions for each type of fall protection.
Monorail Systems
A monorail system is track that’s typically installed for hard-to-reach glass surfaces such as atriums, domes, sloped glaze/skylighting of the area under an overhang.
Systems & Equipment Introduction
Window washing and fall protection systems can be confusing to those unfamiliar with the industry. Pro-Bel provides an introductory brochure for anyone interested in learning more about our industry.
Trolley Rail Fall Protection System
Pro-Bel's horizontal trolley rail system differs from a typical cable lifeline system in that they’re less restrictive and can be placed anywhere rather than just on the ground. This fall protection system is standard for maintenance personnel working on airplanes, trains, buses, etc., since it can be rigged to a warehouse roof.
Fall Protection Window Washing Systems
Window washing equipment for fall protection refers to a system installed into the building’s structure that facade maintenance employees use to suspend themselves down buildings. Suspended maintenance workers attach their suspension lines and lifelines to the equipment to ensure there’s no risk of an accidental fall or injury.
Building Maintenance Units (BMUs)
Powered roof cars, also known as BMUs, are required to wash windows on vertical drops over 150 meters (492 feet). Pro-Bel only installs powered roof cars within Ontario.
Intermittent Stabilization Anchors (ISAs)
Stabilization systems are used to keep platforms (such as powered platforms, single cages, and Bosun’s chairs) in contact with a building’s facade without any unnecessary movement.
Outrigger Beam
Pro-Bel's outrigger beams are installed when there’s sufficient in-board distance or a fragile parapet in place. They can suspend powered platforms, single cages, or Bosun’s chairs.
Permanent Access Platforms
These platforms are typically used for high-rises and are hoisted by a davit system. Steel cable primary suspension lines lower the platform while the workers are attached to a tie-back
Permanent Roof Anchor
Pro-Bel's tie-back anchors keep suspended maintenance employees safe by providing a point to tie back their lifelines and/or suspension lines. The lifelines connected to the anchors provide fall arrest in
Rigging Sleeve
Rigging sleeves are fully customizable systems that are used only when all other window washing systems prove insufficient. They can be installed under floorboards, in the wall, through soffits, or

Roof-Mounted Material Hoists
Pro-Bel's roof-mounted materials winch hoist lifts materials to the building’s rooftop. The hoist can be for vertical or horizontal movements.
Window Washing Davits
Pro-Bel's window washing davit system is a crane-like mechanism that consists of an arm and a base. They’re typically installed in pairs to hoist a powered platform, but in certain
