Gate & Guardrail Kit for Roof Ladder

The Gate & Guardrail Kit is the best non-penetrating solution yet to guarding permanent rooftop ladders and is the most economical way to provide lightweight, OSHA-compliant fall protection for permanent fixed ladder installations on buildings.

Fastest, easiest, and most affordable way to create a safety egress and ingress zone to guard rooftop ladder access starting 6 ft. from leading edge. The Gate & Guardrail Kit provides effective ladder safety and ladder guard solutions to protect workers across construction zones and industry facilities.

This clamp-on ladder guard system attaches to the vertical rails of the existing ladder and extends 7.5 feet onto the roof, acting as a barrier between the worker and the roof edge as he enters or exits the ladder area. The rest of the system is comprised of two 7.5 foot railings that sit in railing holders on the roof surface. Adjustable ladder spanner brackets can extend the reach of the system onto the roof by another 40+ inches.

No mechanical attachment is required to the roof, therefore you never have to worry about holes in your roofing membrane. Modular design makes installation a snap, and all installed, the system weighs only 120 lbs. In fact, the heaviest piece to handle is the 21 lb. railing section. Safety yellow powder-coated or all-galvanized finishes are available.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

OSHA compliant rooftop ladder access starting 6 ft. from leading edge. The Gate & Guardrail Kit easily attaches to both flat or round rails and works on parapet or flat roofs or surfaces.

• Provides safe passage from the ladder to an elevated platform.
• Creates a safe entry/exit zone starting 6 feet from the leading edge.
• Standard ladder clamps provide secure attachment to the ladder rails.

When should you use this system?

OSHA requires that all fixed ladders and ladder openings be guarded. When no other ladder protection is in place for fixed ladders, the Gate & Guardrail Kit would be the first line of defense for fixed ladder fall protection.

This product can extend onto the roof up to 130 inches, depending on ladder configuration, utilizing the telescoping ladder spanner grab bars included with the system. The system combined with the optional self-closing gate will offer controlled access to the ladder opening.

For a higher level of protection, we recommend using the 15 ft. system, which extends over 15 ft. out from the ladder.
