FRAMING THE DESIGN
—
Providing simplicity and confidence
The Rigid Stealth Rail system’s design is a testament to simplicity and confidence, achieved through a blend of thoughtful design considerations and precise engineering.
Its reduced profile and ability to match the colour of the building it adorns allow it to meet stringent architectural specifications. The system’s ability to navigate tight corners without compromising on aesthetics or functionality further underscores its design excellence.
Moreover, the trolley's intuitive design language, reassuring touch points and audible feedback all work to instil confidence and ensure the user that they can trust the system with their lives.
ENGINEERING CERITIFICATION
—
Certified engineering,
Exceeding safety standards
Designed with the highest safety considerations in mind, the Stealth System exceeds safety standards AS/NZS 1891.2 & AS/NZS 1891.4.
The development of this system involved stringent engineering analysis through FEA simulations, calculations and physical prototyping and validation.
Pre-compliance testing was undertaken to aid in accelerating the development program. This was conducted in-house by Trike before achieving external test-house certifications.
