Safety Innovations at Rail Technology Expo Osaka 2026

DaiKen Co., Ltd., a prominent manufacturer of construction metal fittings and exterior building materials, is set to exhibit at the upcoming Rail Technology Expo Osaka 2026, an important event for rail technology. This expo will take place from May 27 to May 29 in 2026 at Intex Osaka, where various technologies related to the railway sector will converge. Their booth number is 3B-11.

At this exhibition, DaiKen will present their latest innovation, the Assist Rail ASR Type, a fall prevention device designed specifically for maintenance operations that occur at heights above 2 meters, such as those required for inspecting and repairing railway vehicles or maintaining freight containers. This system not only enhances safety but also increases efficiency during these tasks.

Introduction to Exhibit Products

DaiKen has built a reputation as the top manufacturer of hanger rails, essential for moving large and heavy doors commonly found at factory and warehouse entrances. Leveraging this expertise, they have developed the Assist Rail ASR Type, a unique rail system aimed at preventing falls in high-altitude maintenance environments. Attendees at the expo will have the chance to experience a display closely reflecting real-world applications of this technology.

The Assist Rail ASR Type is a permanent fall prevention device, activated through a system where rail structures are installed to the ceiling's H-beam. A runner operates within the rail, allowing workers to be safely suspended using a fall arrest mechanism (sold separately). This system promotes smooth movement, significantly contributing to the efficiency of maintenance tasks.
