When it comes to roof edge protection, making the right choice is crucial for ensuring the safety of workers at height. KeeGuard safety railing stands out as the ultimate solution for roof edge protection due to its innovative design, durability, and ease of installation. Here’s why KeeGuard safety railing is the preferred choice for many building owners and safety managers.
Comprehensive Collective Fall Protection
KeeGuard safety railing is a leading freestanding guardrail system designed to offer full collective fall protection without penetrating the roof membrane. This system is versatile, suitable for flat roofs and slopes up to 5 degrees, making it ideal for a wide range of roofing scenarios.
Key Features:
- Non-Penetrative Design: KeeGuard’s unique weighted cantilever design ensures that the system remains secure without penetrating the roof surface. This helps maintain the integrity of the roof membrane, preventing leaks and structural damage.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-grade galvanised steel, KeeGuard is built to withstand harsh weather conditions, ensuring long-term durability and safety. The components are galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461 standards, providing excellent corrosion resistance.
- Modular and Versatile: The modular construction of KeeGuard allows for easy installation and adaptability. It can be tailored to fit various roof types, including metal profile and standing seam roofs, and can even accommodate circular designs.
- Aesthetic Options: For projects where aesthetics are important, KeeGuard offers a collapsible version that can be folded down when not in use, preserving the visual appeal of the building.
Easy and Cost-Effective Installation
One of the standout benefits of KeeGuard safety railing is its ease of installation. The system does not require any welding, bending, or threading on site, significantly reducing installation time and costs. The recycled PVC weights used in the system are easy to handle and position, further simplifying the setup process.
Installation Benefits:
- Quick Installation: The system can be quickly assembled on site without the need for special tools, making it a practical choice for both new installations and retrofitting existing buildings.
- Proven Counterbalance System: KeeGuard’s counterweight system provides a high-visibility, non-slip base that ensures stability without roof penetration. This makes it suitable for temporary or permanent installations.
