Metal Roof Guardrail Features
Custom-Fit Rooftop Guardrail Built for the Demands of Metal Roofs
Metal rooftops present unique challenges for fall protection, especially standing seam and corrugated profiles. Our engineered guardrail systems are designed to meet those challenges head on. The Topfix system for corrugated roofs minimizes penetrations while maximizing safety, and our nonpenetrating clamps secure railings to standing seam roofs without compromising the roof surface. With modular components and expert engineering, we offer compliant, secure, and easy to install solutions for any metal roof layout.
Multiple Options
This versatile galvanized base plate features multiple mounting points, making it compatible with a variety of metal roof profiles. Designed for flexibility and ease, the system eliminates the need for custom fabrication on every project, reducing installation time and site disruptions. It’s a smart, ready-to-go solution for rooftop safety.
Easy Installation
The metal roof guardrail system allows for quick installation using basic hand tools with no welding required. Its preassembled uprights and open cup fittings easily adjust to rooftop features such as slopes, corners, elevation changes, and self-closing gates using standard modular components.
Durable
Choose from durable aluminum or galvanized steel for superior strength and corrosion resistance.
Compliant
Conforms and often exceeds relevant standards including OSHA 1910.29(b)(3) and OSHA 1926.502(b)(3).
