Advantages of Our
Rooftop Guardrail System
Rooftop Railing for Every Situation
You can now remove the stress of having to work with multiple companies to find OSHA-compliant guardrails for each rooftop fall hazard.
Our rooftop guardrail systems can be used to protect roof edges, exterior ladder access points, roof hatches, and rooftop skylights...just to name a few.
You deserve a guardrail that can provide safety for every type of roof. Whether you have a flat TPO roof, 18-inch parapets, or a sloped standing seam metal roof, we can help you.
Our guardrail system are designed to tie into other roof fall protection solutions, like safe access platforms.
You've found the one roof safety railing system to protect them all.
Rooftop Guardrail Built to Last
Install a roof safety railing that you know will be just as strong in ten years as it is today.
Our rooftop guardrail systems are built with galvanized steel pipe and fittings. You can also have a mounted aluminum guardrail. Both options do not require welding, which will increase the longevity of the components.
You can also powder coat both options, offering additional protection and an aesthetic enhancement to match your brand.
The Versatility of our Rooftop Guardrail System
Our roof railing can easily overcome obstacles like ductwork with its modular design. With over 100 Kee Klamp fittings to work with, we can maneuver the guardrail in numerous ways.
Rooftop obstructions are not the only obstacle you must overcome. Local and federal codes add complexity depending on where and what guardrail you need. We can handle these regulations with simple design changes, including calculating for high winds. This way, you don't have to worry about your rooftop guardrail becoming dangerous falling debris.
As your needs and regulations evolve, our safety guardrail can be modified and installed to meet the new criteria. That's just a few additional parts instead of a whole new rooftop guardrail.
