President Tracks with Kestrel

Vitesse K6200 Curtain track


Kestrel Vitesse K6200 wall-mounted Curtain track


Kestrel Vitesse K6200 ceiling-mounted Curtain track
Kestrel brackets were designed to complement the high performance and pleasing appearance of the K6200 hand drawn track. It is a white finished aluminium track, lightweight yet strong, and with roller runners is ideally suited to all hospital applications. Tests have shown that for anti-ligature purposes it is most important that the complete track collapses. Even where a fixed track provides no ligature points, heavy weights can be suspended from the curtains. This is a serious potential risk. With the K6200 the track and curtain complete will part from the Kestrel brackets under abnormal load and can then be simply and quickly reinstated.

Specification: Vitesse K6200 hand drawn curtain track with Kestrel Magnetic Suspension System. White aluminium track complete with roller runners at 16 per metre, and magnetic wall-fix or top-fix brackets as necessary, spaced in accordance with manufacturers recommendations.

Movatrack shower track

Due to their short span, collapsible shower tracks have often posed problems in high-risk areas. As the Kestrel system relies solely on magnetic attraction to retain its load, there is no danger of mechanical obstruction even if the excess load is applied at an angle to the vertical. The strong aluminium track is able to span 2.5m between brackets, and has a hygienic white powder-coated finish. The roller wheel curtain hooks ensure maintenance-free performance.

Specification: Movatrack shower track with Kestrel Magnetic Suspension System. Track manufactured from aluminium with white powder-coated finish, complete with roller hooks at 10 per metre, and magnetic wall-fix or top-fix brackets as necessary, spaced in accordance with manufacturers recommendations.

NB: Where there is a serious weapon risk the Vitesse Movatrack shower track may be used as a lightweight shower track, up to a.span of 1200mm. The K9500 flexible track may also be used if ceiling fixed.

The Movatrack hospital cubicle track system is in use in many hospitals throughout the world including major London hospitals. The rigid, high-grade aluminium track section and free-running roller hooks are designed to give years of trouble-free service. Movatrack with Kestrel offers a highly respected track system with the security of the acclaimed Kestrel Magnetic Suspension System - designed to complement each other.

Specifically for high-risk mental health areas, Movatrack with Kestrel uses magnetic wall-fix brackets where tracks meet the wall, and magnetic top-fix brackets where suspension hangers meet the ceiling. This ensures that, under excess load, the suspension hanger separates from the ceiling bracket - an essential safety feature, as it is surprisingly easy to attach a cord to a fixed vertical rod and use it as a ligature point.

Suggested layouts and details of individual fittings are shown in the Movatrack technical manual - available on request. Movatrack with Kestrel should always be fitted by trained and accredited personnel.

Specification: Movatrack cubicle track with Kestrel Magnetic Suspension System. Track manufactured from aluminium with silver anodised / white powder-coated finish, complete with roller hooks at 10 per metre, curtain removal points and magnetic wall-fix brackets, top-fix brackets and overlaps as necessary, spaced in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. Fitting to be carried out by trained and accredited personnel.
