Kattsafe Roof Guardrail Systems
Kattsafe Roof Guardrail Systems
A roof guardrail is collective fall protection: once the rail is up, everyone inside it is protected without harnesses, anchor points or training. The Kattsafe guardrail range is high strength aluminium, prefabricated and modular, and goes onto concrete and metal deck roofs with adjustable fixtures and no onsite welding.
A guardrail run is built from posts, handrail and kneerail tubes, splices, elbows, corner bends, braces and optional toeboards, all cut to the measured length of the exposed edge. Fixed rail suits plant areas and regularly accessed roofs, while the fold down version lowers out of sight when the roof is not in use, keeping the building line clean. Kattsafe guardrail is designed to comply with AS/NZS 1657 and carries patent and design registrations.
Guardrail is quoted per measured run rather than sold as loose parts. Post spacing, corners and mounting all come off the roof measure, and the 6.0m rail tubes are freight restricted, so the quote covers the full run plus delivery to site.
System configurations
- Fixed guardrail for permanently protected edges and plant areas
- Fold down guardrail where sightlines matter
- Concrete mount and metal deck mount posts
- Handrail and kneerail tubes with splices, elbows and corner bends
- Toeboard for dropped object protection
- Roof access hatch guardrail kits and self closing gates to close off the access point
Guardrail belongs to the wider roof access systems range. For the ready to buy pieces, see the Kattsafe range, and for edges that only need protection during short jobs compare the Spyda temporary anchor and the temporary static line kit.
Measure the edge or send a roof plan, note whether the roof is concrete or metal deck, and tell us if you want fixed or fold down rail.
Request a quote with your building height, roof type and a rough layout or measurement, and we will come back with a configured system and price.
Does a guardrail need engineering for each roof?
The system is pre engineered and modular; what changes per roof is the run length, post spacing, corners and the mounting detail. That is exactly what the quote works out from your measurements.
Fixed or fold down?
Fixed rail is simpler and cheaper per metre. Fold down rail is for street facing or heritage buildings where a permanent rail line is not acceptable; it lowers flat when the roof is not in use.
Can it go on without penetrating the roof?
Non penetrating options exist for some roof types. Confirm the deck type when you request the quote and we will spec the mount to suit.
