KeeGuard Contractor offers a new and innovative approach to portable railing systems. Since the system is free standing, there is no need for any hardware connections to the rooftop or working surface. KeeGuard Contractor meets all OSHA Standards for permanent railings, including OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.500.
KeeGuard Portable Guardrail can also be used as a permanent solution. It is typically used when standard KeeGuard counterbalances will not work with existing roof equipment. Because this guardrail system uses weighted bases it makes a great solution for providing fall protection around HVAC and other equipment on the roof.
Versatile, Easy to Assemble |
The uprights are secured in the bases by set screws, making the system solid like a permanent railing and allowing variable angle changes of direction. Assembly is easy using a torque wrench or hex key to tighten set screws to 29 lbs/ft. A railing section consists of 2 horizontal Schedule 40 galvanized pipes and 2 vertical Schedule 40 galvanized pipes for the 42 inch uprights. The modular system has 8 foot railing sections and 5 foot return sections with a galvanized finish ensuring a long and rust-free life of the system. Powder coating in Safety Yellow over a galvanized finish is available as an optional extra. |
Base Plates Stack for Easy Storage |
Each base plate has a strong galvanized finish and is supplied with a rubber pad on the underside to protect the roof membrane. Each base plate is 20 inches in diameter and weighs 95 pounds. They are stackable which makes the system very easy to store. The base plates also have openings for an optional toeboard if needed. Ergonomically designed handles make handling of the bases easy, and final adjustment is a snap. Four upright anchor holes make almost any perimeter configuration possible. |

The KeeGuard Contractor portable guardrail system was made to move. The guardail bases make it possible to easily move the system to other parts of the work site.

| A hand cart is available to enable easy movement and to assist in placement of the base plates. The base plates stack on the cart. A special post on the end of the cart makes it easy to move and adjust the position of the base weights. |
The Kart-a-Rail™ is used for easy transport of an entire KeeGuard Contractor System and can also be used for system storage. Balloon tires make movement of the unit easy. Large eyelets bolted to the frame allow easy attachment of belts or bungee cords to keep rails in place. |
