Roofsafe Rail
The RoofSafe Rail product is best suited to modern building projects, in particular for roof access and as an anchor point for suspended work positioning for external façade access, inspection and maintenance. The roof mounted rail meets the requirements of both abseil and fall protection standards and can be fixed to the roof system with minor penetrations or using clamps.
Where roofs are pitched at more than 15 degrees, it provides a sound anchorage that will not flex when a worker applies their body weight to it. This provides the worker with a good sense of security and allows them to work with confidence.
In the event of a fall the product does not deflect and distributes very low loads to the roof structure.
Quality and Functional
Roofsafe Rail is a quality extruded aluminium rail system, which provides a high level of user safety combined with a very aesthetically pleasing appearance. Roofsafe Rail offers excellent functionality through it’s free flowing attachment carriage and with no brackets to pass over, the users experience with the system is truly hands free. The system is also capable of navigating corners and changes of direction in the building or structure to provide complete design flexibility.
As well as for aesthetically sensitive projects, or inclined roofs, the Roofsafe Rail System should be considered for small fall arrest safety installations as loading of the structure in the event of a fall is low due to the products profile and fixing arrangement and it can be very cost effective compared to alternative solutions.
Minimal moving parts and high-grade materials ensure long life expectancy, low cost of ownership and add up to a sound investment.
The system can be fitted to built up metal profiled roofs and standing seam roofs and can support multiple workers for both fall arrest and fall restraint work applications. Detailed information to ensure safe system design and integration is provided by our Technical Support Team.
Roofsafe products..
Roofsafe Anchor- Deadweight
The Uniline Deadweight Anchor System is a unique safety product. It offers both fall arrest and work restraint capabilities using a series of weights joined to a central plate and anchorage point. The anchors are designed to be placed on an approved roofing surface and in the event of a fall use their counter weight to arrest a worker.
