Custom gates
Custom gates that can be configured to meet specific requirements and solve different applications.
skylight guardrails
Designed specifically to address fall protection concerns without minimizing light from your skylights, this rooftop guardrail system allows for the optimum use of your skylight while ensuring that it does not become a fall protection liability.
Our skylight guardrail systems are freestanding and utilize our counterweighted baseplates, eliminating the need for hardware connections to your rooftop.
hatch guardrails
A permanent freestanding Guardrail System, which is non-penetrating, and safely protects workers from falls through open roof hatches.
HatchGuard’s simplicity allows for our system to be integrated with virtually any rooftop opening.
Our Roof Hatch System comes standard with a spring-loaded gate, ensuring the gate always returns to the safe closed position.
An optional fixed grab bar when exiting or entering the rooftop can be included as requested.
Roofwalk
The RoofWalk system is designed to create a sure-footed walkway on your rooftop. This fully customizable platform made from non-slip materials and is installed above the roof membrane ensuring no damage is being done while it in use. Utilizing our counterweighted baseplates and RoofGuard rails, this system can be tailored to any flat roof application, providing safer access to any workspace by eliminating slipping and fall hazards.
Engineered for safety and built economically the RoofWalk system is a must on any rooftop where constant roof access is required.
RoofStep Crossover Series (XS)
Crossover Series (XS) RoofStep systems help workers move up and over obstructions to similar roof levels, and have 45 degree bracing on both sides for stability.
Roofstep ladder
series (ld)
Ladder Series (LD) RoofStep systems help workers move from one level to another, and have guardrails on the upper side to help prevent a fall to the lower level.
ohsa compliant guardrail systems
We provide a complete line of OHSA compliant rooftop guardrail fall protection solutions that can be configured for virtually any layout. Our passive working at heights solutions include materials, installation, and engineering sign off to ensure that all of our guardrail systems meet or exceed industry standards and safety laws.

- Fully customizable – Modular design that allows for easy installation and for systems to fit any space or configuration
- Passive System – Once installed, this system eliminates extra PPE and training requirements for working at heights
- Ergonomic Design – No single component in a RoofGuard system weights over 50 lbs.
- No Roof Penetration – Stackable and nested baseplates engineered to provide counterweighted systems that don’t pierce your roof membrane
The hierarchy of fall protection
- Hazard Elimination - Remove the hazard by having work done on the ground by either moving what is being worked on or creating an apparatus that allows the worker to stay on the ground while performing their task (e.g. using a drone or robotics to perform inspections at heights).
- Passive Fall Protection - Physical barriers like RoofGuard guardrail systems or Liftsafe Fall Protection's netting solutions that surround unprotected edges, holes, obstructions or dangerous machinery.
- Fall Restraint - Anchoring systems that prevent a worker from reaching the hazard while tied off to them. (Requires worker participation, training and extra PPE).
- Fall Arrest - Anchoring systems that catch a worker while falling when tied off to them. (Requires worker participation, training, extra PPE and a formal rescue plan).
- Administrative Controls - Work practices or procedures that increase a worker's awareness of fall hazards. (Only recommended in addition to one or multiple of the above).
